Saw this on HMT. Not only did he purposely do this, but he's proud of it.

 

it is pretty ridiculous, theres a bolt in there.. why was it done?

 

Instead of going to a muffler shop and buying a reducer, he put a small pipe into the bigger one and filled the gap with chunks of metal, bolts, 50+ feet of filler rod.

BBC 2nd gens suck btw. Mustangs with huge cowl hoods are way cooler.

 

Badass, you don't see a muffler pipe with a bolt ON/IN the piping everyday!!!

No more worrying about loose bolts, I'm going to weld all my bolts on, even if they are not holding anything on.

 

Thanks op for my first laugh of the day!

 

got the link to the whole thread?

 

dang

Thats a way of life over there. I think they lay awake at night thinking up stuff like that.

 

If you want to compare HMT to H-T, H-T is going to loose.

Sure half the people on there build turbo cars with shitty welds, shitty fabrication, and little planning. The other half build turbo cars with excellent fabrication and beautiful results. You have to start somewhere, building a couple ghetto fab setups is a good way to learn the skills needed to build a nice car.

Primary point being, most of them have turbo's on their cars (which are therefore somewhat quick), whereas many people on this forum think their I/H/E D15 is fast.

Sure they do build with crappy welds, but at least they build

 

yeah i can remember when i was just proud to put two pieces of metal together. hell i have a homemade exhaust on my crx that isn't that much better, ok it is a lot better, but its by no means pretty.

half the people who post in either have cars that still pass CARB tests. Case closed.

btw, 4-14-2003 vs. 2-28-2002

 

Yeah, HMT guys do. H-T guys talk about doing for the most part. I like the spirit in which the guy tried to solve his problem. The effort is what is important.

DUDE my 4 yr old son could do better than that and your taking up for that crap work.....Come on....So i guess the bolt he used came from the tranny since it has like 9 extras right

 

my motto is.

if it works. who gives a expletive what it looks like.

for the ghetto fab

 

I hope he welded that bolt in there just to **** you off.

 

i bet a hundred bucks it works and itll stomp your pretty boy **** up and down the road

 

with the $ he wasted on a entire 2lb wire spool/gas he could have bought a reducer or bought sheet metal to roll his own reducer.


that is garbage, for lack of effort.

doesn't look like a honda oem bolt to me. no flange.

 

ha, so after all the hard work i have put into attaining all the skills i have today, im supposed to praise that piece of crap and pass it off as a work of art?

 

If it isn't Full-Race then it isn't worth a **** huh?

You guys kill me.

Yeah, that thing looks like a thousand smashed ********, but who cares? The damn thing works.

HMT is a totally different environment. If you don't like it, then stay the hell out.

HMT is all about the means to an end in the most cost effective (cheapest) way possible. It is all about getting out there and doing something, and not so much about bench racing. There are some quality builds on both sites, but the difference is that HMT folks will run the morons that seem to infest this site out of there.

Pretty sure that no one said it was a work of art in a serious manner. Get the stick out of your ***.
