Default Re: OUTRAGED

The other day me and my buddy were working on his Plymouth Lazer. We decided to screw around (car has 160,000 and the Turbo is dying out) so we played with it a bit.

We replaced his fuel lines with garden hose.

We took apart an old gutter from his apartment building and molded custom side skirts to his vehicle after a bit of splicing and it actually came out very nice, needs paint though.

Also, we removed the blow off valve and replaced it with a nerf shooter, that proceeded to launch balls pretty freakin far when loaded.


After all this was complete we went for a stroll and to our surprise the performance increase was pretty significant. We were surprised how successfully $30 of house hold objects just laying around could effect the performance so much.

Anybody else have experiences with things like this?

(Pictures to come soon the next time we hook up)
