Anybody remember this guy? (PVC intercooler boy)
 

Attachment 211287

Just a little background...yes it's PVC pipe, yes it's supposed to be a FMIC, yes he is on his 2nd motor, 3rd tranny, 3rd paint job, and 5th clutch in this car, yes he just turned 18, yes daddy bought the car but "he paid it off because daddy gave it to him as a graduation present"....

WELL, he just posted this on a local forum..

...those that can do the math will realize that this is now his FOURTH transmission...seriously, how the fuck do people like this make it to be as old as they are?

i dont see the problem.

Sub 50K car essentially bone stock performance wise on his 2nd motor, 4th tranny, and 5th clutch...are you serious? LOL

Natural selection at its' finest.

If that were the case this thread wouldn't exist...a piano would have fallen on the kid by now :giggle:

2nd motor, 4rd tranny, 3rd paint job, and 5th clutch in this car

How the fuck?! HOW?! How does that even happen?

Edit... 4th... I fail once again

Just because he said dodge transmission suck.....doesn't mean he threw in a ford tranny :giggle:

I think this says it all

His signature on most forums is "Only person I know who works for an auto parts store but buy's his performance parts from lowe's" hardy har har

I cant believe that this is real. Troll imo.

NO, it's real 100%, I know the kid personally...unfortunately.

Im sorry.

Nevermind...the original post here was asking for trouble. ignore post.

wait.. what i don't understand is the PVC thing. srt4's have a pretty nice FMIC from the factory... am i missing something here?

Please deliver a punch in the face courtesy of MT.net :)

This is why i find it so hard to believe. Its just too outrageous, he already went through a handful of motors, clutches, and trannys. He replaced a functional factory FMIC with PVC tubing. I just cannot believe that he could be that stupid. I'm sure hundreds of people have told him an idiot, why would he not change his ways?

This is what gave it away for me:
Its just too over the top, no fucking way this kid is that much of a failure.

Still think hes a troll. Some people just want attention.

I've known people this dumb. Like the fuckers that replace the stock intake system on a miata with a shitty dryer vent hose intake that puts the filter behind the radiator or by the exhaust manifold... face it gentleman, there are people out there that believe that anything that construct is better than stock, despite quality, form, or function.

that being said, this guy is a fucking retard for the following reasons:
1) a co-worker is putting out 345whp in a mostly stock srt-4 on his stock engine and transmission

2) that piece was made out of Nickel-Aluminum-Bronze, not steel to begin with to reduce the wear that occurred on earlier years as they increased in mileage. If you need that piece to be made of steel then you either have a fucked up clutch/adjustment or no driving ability.

3) to go through that many clutches in 50K miles it is obvious he has no driving ability as suggested in point 2.

Man that is getto. If he busted his IC and is broke $$$$$. I could see a Volvo or Vw IC. That isn't even functionable.
He should be slapped.

His SRT had a stock intercooler..wasn't good enough so he bought some HUGE ass 1 inch core intercooler for it, cut his bumper all to hell to make it fit, used zip ties to hold it on...sold his stock I/C few weeks go by and someone steals his FMIC...this is the result. Trust me, not a troll HE IS THAT STUPID..period end of conversation.

i remember the stolen IC thread... that was fucked up. but honestly, an ebay IC is dirt cheap. probably cheaper than that PVC arrangement he's got now.

Punch in the face hardly seems our style. Tell him something witty first, like "even the gey guy in the miata thinks your car sucks" then go for the groin!

Oh yea, i forgot there was a thread here about it. One of his lil butt-buds came on here to accuse me of stealing it b/c of all the tension between the two of us. :giggle:

I was expecting to see pvc piping to the intercooler (which is gay but whatever) but wow what a fucking idiot.

Just imagine a gorilla trying to drive a car, that would be him.

Damn. That's sad. I mean, if you were gonna build an intercooler from Lowes, he could have done sooo much better....

Use Steel pipes instead of PVC as it will transfer heat better and will act as a heat sink better.
Buy a bunch of copper shit and make on but that would be $$$ but might prove to work well.

Kidding. I can't believe anyone would do that. I mean, Lazzer is the king of cheap and even he wouldn't make the intercooler PVC, though charge pipes are fair game.

HAHA, I remember Lazzer, wtf ever happened with his electronic BOV? :giggle:

From his build thread Lazzer seems like a resourceful guy (except for the pvc). wonder what happened to him.

You serious? PVC guy? resourceful? HA thats an understatement...now he's just gotta work on being resourceful w/o creating a pile of shit in the process.

i meant lazzer.

Oh ok. What did he do with PVC pipe?

i think he had it rigged up as charge pipe temporarily. which is not bad, but not a good idea either.

well lazzer did it to use as a sort of functional template for making the aluminum pipes... it allowed him to fuck up a lot for cheap and save the pricey mandrel bends for after he trouble shooted the squeeks and rattles.

That is stunning.

Fucking SRT4 owners are all snot-nosed ricers.

Oh, wait..

Still got yours? :bowrofl:

Yup, dropped it on on Saturday actually (2" F, 2.4" R) so it no longer has the factory "prison sex" stance.

...I've been away from the Miata too long, I'm modding the OTM...

so when you gonna make YOUR crash bar/FMIC combo?

I just explained to my mother what I was laughing at while on the phone with her, and her response was: "PVC pipes for an intercooler? That's just stupid, why would you do that?"

It only made me laugh harder.

:bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl:

PVC COOLER
Even mom thinks you're retarded..

If I ever get tired of having an actual intercooler and simultaneously feel the need to jeopardize the safety of me and my family, I'll give it a shot. ;)

and you guys thought that us MSM drivers were stupid!
