LeMons forums. Holy shit these guys are my heros.

Suspension clamps? Go for it. Suspension travel limit straps? Hell yes. Our shock tower is a 3lb coffee can, and we create cambers with a nail file and a winch.

There is a thread I'm now reading about using leaf blower impellers hooked up to the accessory belt for forced induction. Holy balls.

This explains why my roommate's car passed tech inspection for LeMons in this condition.

The bright spots you see in front of and behind the seat are where you can see through the rocker panels.

When your budget is $500 and you give absolutely no shit about the look and longevity of your car...utter, unabashed, sheer brilliance happens.

I'm highly considering taking a turbo, welding a mounting bracket on it, and sticking a tiny pulley on it and a big-ass pulley on my crankshaft. Boom, a Procharger.

have you seen the might car mods episode where they do that? they used 2 and it didn't do shit. those blowers are not capable of creating significant pressure increases they are useless

I saw the roadkill one. it does work (to some extent) but is in no way a good solution

they had a car with a small engine on a dyno and showed that it made no significant difference.

Where did you see/hear that it would do anything?

I seem to recall it being like 1 hp and only at low revs, not actually increasing the peak output at all
