It's a work of art. I'd soo love to see the whole Mad Max theme of recycled cars idea come into fashion. Bugger carbon fiber, chrome exhausts & fancy paint jobs, lets see some rust, scrap steel and engines exceeding their used by date Cool

Well I can't beat that pure engineering feat, but here is my ghetto modified oil cooler for my Silvia since I bought another radiator that didn't have the oil cooler built into it....





A lovely cocktail of XF Falcon transmission cooler, Bunnings Super Mega l337 20 x 20 x 3 Grade Aluminium and some Tie Wire(I ran out of Zippies Sad ) I found in the engine bay of the Falcon...

I can think of one application.. Laughing

Someone told me a story about a guy who drove from Melbourne to Perth in a fairly smoky old car that needed regular topping up with oil thanks to its burning it.

Rather than stopping and popping the hood every few hours driving, he bought one of those 20 litre drums with a hand pump on the top, sat it on the passenger side and ran a hose through the firewall to the engine. Whenever the low oil pressue light came on, he just reached across and pumped a few more litres in..

I had a car that was a bit like that for a while at one time.. it almost got to the point where I got to say "Fill up the oil and check the Petrol" to a service station attendant. Wink

i thought the car from cabramatta with all the bullet holes in the side was a nice touch.

Actually the Chinese are the best reverse engineers around.

If they had Robot Wars and Battlebots in China would we be able to see Razer vs Biohazard?
