Blinker Fluid?

nub340 · 01-25-2008, 02:58 PM

So my friend needed a jump start the other day and he asked me if I had any jumper fluid, LOL!! (he obviously mispoke & meant jumper cables!)

Then today at work my friend gave me a new one: Blinker Fluid!! LOL, I love it. So I decided to make a thread to share these and potentially learn of any new hilarious BS car parts.

So far I have:

- Muffler Bearings (oldest one in the book)
- Blinker Fluid (new!!)
- Jumper Fluid (courtesy of my stupid friend!)
- Piston Return Spring (a mechanic told me that one)

Please post any other hilarious BS car parts you know of... or just made up (as long as they're not too stupid!).

I.E. "Well here's your problem, your Piston Return Springs are completely shot!"

Blinker fluid is hella old.

nub340 · 01-25-2008, 03:20 PM

repost... but still funny

"Ok. I didn't want to mention it but I was thinking about turbo charging my Vette. I got to thinking about it and how in efficient even turbos are (compressor efficiencies of about 80% at best).

Since a turbo's function is to pressurize incoming air and force it into the upper motor, and turbos are driven by high pressure exhaust gas created from the combustion process, couldn't I just bypass the turbo altogether and route my headers back into the throttle bodies?

Since I have CFI, I could balance the DEI (direct exhaust injection as I just coined it) by feeding one header into each throttle body. Yes, the charge air wouldn’t be that cold, but it would be under a hell of a lot more pressure.

There are still a few things I need to work out:
1) How do I get the CFI aircleaner to fit in a way that hides this plumbing?
2) Does anyone make a V-band clamp that will bolt an exhaust header to a CFI throttle body?
3) What pinion angle should I use in my rear-end? I’m sure there will be a noticeable difference in torque output.

What do you guys think?"

You're right, it's the off-topic FORUM, not the off-topic THREAD!! A-ha you got ganked!! Besides I originally posted in general discussion but those darned mods moved it on me.

Anyhow, in an attempt to stay "ON TOPIC", heh, here's another one I just made up:

Mechanic: "Here's your problem, your driveshaft solenoid is totally stripped!"

Everything here is O-T, even this thread.

But I just like to say Flux Capacitor.

Natural aspiration feel unnatural? Tired of bothering with duct-taped leaf blowers as turbos? Treat your car to a bar of boost. Most high performance turbo vehicles use one to one and a half bars. Why waste money on expensive turbo systems and fancy intercoolers? Handsomly mounted in a die-cast metal mount, the KaleCoAuto Boost Bar is a great addition to any naturally aspirated engine.

My brother fell victim to the DVD rewinder in the April Issue of Scientific American. It took us 20 minutes to explain it to him.
