If I had to guess they wrapped the object with wire mesh and splattered molten metal at it until it sealed. Maybe the person who did it works for spray crete.

Nope, that's what happens when you use a MIG welder with your wire speed set REALLY HIGH and your voltage set REALLY LOW. Honestly I've never seen anything that bad, it's got to be a joke.

Could be a "I don't give a gently caress" guilty pleasure fix on a terrible beater. One of the many joys of owning a pos is the quarter assed repairs just because the things worthless. Especially if there's a replacement for the beater on the way.

Especially if there's a replacement for the beater on the way. I don't think I could weld that badly if I tried. I mean, it had to have taken like a hour to build up all that, versus a few minutes when you've got a good arc and appropriate speed. It was MORE work to gently caress it up like that!

Especially if there's a replacement for the beater on the way. Hack repairs are quite pleasurable when it really doesn't matter.  This car managed to stay within noise limits and continue totally-not-racing in the 24 hour "endurance test" in which it took part. The terrible car stuff is the turbo that broke down shortly after, starting a fire that abruptly ended the totally-not-a-race for that year.

InitialDave posted:This doesn't make sense to me. How can he fit different size cam pulleys and not immediately grenade the engine? If the donor car has different sized pulleys, you'd also need the appropriate crank pulley, otherwise the cams will be out if sync with the crank an it'll either smash the valves into the pistons or (if not an interference design) run incredibly badly, if at all. I'm assuming he used the crank sprocket off a B18 as well. It's also possible that the pulleys were functionally the same size but had a lip or something around the outside.

I just pulled in about 15 minutes ago, drove up the hill I live on no problem, would have been just fine without my snow tires since it only half-rear end snowed the last couple days and the road was basically clear aside from salt, though there was a little buildup on the sidewalk and at the curbs, so I grabbed my push broom and went to sweeping my sidewalk/front walk/porch steps/etc. since it was the really powdery stuff, and I was just brushing it all into my yard. Not more than a minute later after I start a big honking Chevy SUV comes barreling up the road, guns it with one tire in the buildup by the curb, and starts spinning its tires just gunning it for all he's worth going half-sideways on the road my little FWD car just puttered straight up. HOW can you be so bad at driving? Though in retrospect maybe this would be better for the "People you share the road with" thread. Eh, I'm not a fan of crossposting, it can sit here just fine.

Spinning the tires faster gives them more opportunities to "hook up". It's a game of numbers.

dissss posted:Maybe if the system is really good. A lot of traction control systems are still useless in anything too slippery I've actually been attempting to actually break traction both times it snowed this week. After putting my winters on, I drat near can't break traction. It's hilarious to just burn off from a standstill when the light turns green and everyone is slipping and sliding while my proper tires just hook up and go. I wish we had laws here that required winter tires during the snow months like some other countries do. If you can't afford to buy proper tires, get the gently caress off the road.

PCOS Bill posted:I agree, gently caress the poor quite honestly I'd rather drive on a road full of uninsured vehicles with good snow tires on them than on a road full of vehicles with legal but nearly dead summers and state minimum insurance on every single one. I'm not saying I object to insurance requirements... but rather that if you live in a fuckin' snowy area, part of having a safe car is to make it actually stick to the road. Driving in the winter on lovely tires is about as dangerous as driving in the summer on bald ones, and one of these things isn't legal. It's not even THAT expensive, either, compared to a lot of other things cars need... firestone winterforces for a 1999 honda civic are $270 on tirerack. For a full set.

I really like what the local government insurance company did in my province. Financing on winter tires through your insurance (everyone has the same provider) I see so many fresh sets of winter tires on the road, its heartwarming.

I saw that this last year. I'm out east now, but I thought it was a brilliant program. I'm curious to see what they're going to accrue in savings from dumb people who are less dangerous now. Slightly less dangerous.

Not sure if that's a muffler or a resonator, but either way, depending on the internal structure of baffles and packing, once it catches and starts to dig, it'll just saw its way through until it's expended enough energy .
