Ghetto Fabolus Fix Its

So I know we all have done these. They look like shit... But get us by for a little while. I was zip tying my front lip on in the parking lot (while shaking my head) and thought that there might be some good ones out there. Kinda like when I epoxied my turbo outlet hose on my intercooler up in Lewistown. Let's hear what you guys got.

My stock front bumper is zip tied on, on the right side. My wheels have 40+ hrs of refinishing and paintwork done but the tires are super bald and needed to be replaced 10,000 miles ago! I have the original spark plugs in my car still and I just rolled over 78,000 miles! Other than that, I am pretty patient and will do it the right way.

I JB welded my front cover/oil pump when we had to cut it to make it fit my custome F23/H23 engine setup. Ran it that way for a few years. Yikes I can't believe that worked.

Zip ties on your bumper isn't ghetto, thats not a bad idea if you track your car. That way if you go off track the bumper can break free to avoid total damage. Lots of drift cars are like that. I know a few members on here that do it all the time. A zip tie with a washer on each side works like a charm.

My current exhaust system is 3" from the turbo to a 2.5" flex pipe to the stock 2" exhaust. The kid that I bought the kit off of had a full 3" Eclipse exhaust but I had to modify the DP to actually line up with the normal Avenger stock exhaust by hacking off end of my old 2.5" header and connecting the two pieces with a 2.5" coupler that is split on one end so it will fit over the 3" side and then clamped the hell down so it doesn't fall off again (like in Lewistown!) This will all be replaced soon with a full turbo-back exhaust.

My sister lives in Lustre, MT. It has seen something like 80 inches of snow and still blowing and snowing. She came down on Friday and did this-

Resulting in this-

Which I fixed (kinda) like this

My sister honestly rallies her Subaru. 15 miles of gravel either way from her place and she's usually hauling balls. Just got a little too far over when the semi was coming the other way.

When I had my silver '97 Eclipse GS-T I had neon underglow lights that I had ziptied and duct taped...boy...that was back in the day when I had no idea of how anything mechanical worked. It was also waaaaay back when people actually thought that neon was cool.

Yeah you gotta love the automotive section at Wal-Mart!

Very nice job Antwon! It gives it a rally look. I the zip tie look with battle scars not going to lie!!
