Hey guys,

Thought I would ask here as it's a popular section and it could provide some of you that haven't seen it with a laugh!

I'm looking for a thread from a few years ago where a guy was building his own modified Eclipse. Sounds innocent enough, but this guy is really cack handed. Highlights include....

  • Painting over the wiring and ancillaries when doing the engine bay.
  • Homemade lightened flywheel - AKA putting it under an industrial drilling machine and making it look like swiss cheese!
  • "Performance Grooves" in the cylinder head combustion chamber.
IIRC, the thread was on a Evo owners club site or something. He even managed to drive it to the Dyno and get respectable figures of around 4-500hp (god knows how) before it blew up in spectacular fashion.

Anyone able to find it? My Father could do with a giggle. hehe

Regards,
Nate

Can anyone link the one where the Armenian guy drills holes in the frame of his brand new ZX-10R to save weight?
