If I were more crafty with plumbing I would make a toilet out of the nv3550 that I will eventually replace.

That's pretty impressive!

There's been a couple of instances of cars driving the transport stages on just three wheels and getting stopped by the cops. One was with Loeb (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esSG0RyCFCw), but there was also another case that I thought was Marcus Gronholm but apparently not. I remember the driver trying to hilariously argue with the police how he totally can drive on three wheels since he clearly got that far already. Any ideas who it was?

I literally have a Borg-Warner toilet in my house. I'm saving the flush handle (which has the little logo) in case I need a transfer case switch/knob in the future.

Why wouldn't you install a shifter as the flush mechanism?

I've seen the video you're talking about and I'm positive it's Marcus Gronholm. Can't seem to find it on youtube right now though so have another great Gronholm moment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqQhQSbe6fw

I've been grabbing every good-condition bearing cap (cam, rod, main, diff carrier, I don't care) I see on the ground or lying under a hood at the junkyard for exactly this reason, they'll make excellent drawer pulls for the kitchen. I think my favorites so far are Caddy Northstar cam bearing caps and Jeep dana 44a carrier bearing caps because they look nice, don't have any really sharp corners I'll have to file down, and are made from aluminum so they won't really require any special coatings to stay good looking, unlike the cast steel ones from everything else.

e: I also have 3 conrods from a 6.5L turbodiesel to make a coatrack out of, a couple axleshafts, diff carrier, and a wheel off a jeep to make a coat tree, and the stereotypical gearhead clutch disc + flywheel clock of course. And two halves of Fart Pipe's old knocky EJ25 to make a coffee table... I have been debating making end tables out of the 4.0L blocks stood on end but those fuckers weigh an absolute ton. On the other hand, their bores are perfectly sized for a wine rack...

Beautiful, but those rear coilovers aren't doing a damned thing at that angle. They must have to be valved+sprung real stiff compared to normal and suspension bushing flex is going to soak up a lot of their otherwise impressive damping capabilities.

How do you spend 10k on an engine? Even in NZ money that's retarded expensive for a dirt-basic sohc I6. Or does that include the carbs?

Also: 10k worth of engine, a box of piss worth of exhaust.

Don't get me wrong, I want it too, but the dangling ground wire and the gear knob and a few other things just scream dickhead with money.

For 10k into an L28, I would expect more than 200hp.

e: and those wheels look like pretty basic Torqthrusts.
