Most Hacked Shit Ever Seen 2009 Thread!!

[LittleCarp04]

New thread for a new year.

[RuLayd]

not another one!

[Slammed83Mazda]

I really had no idea the 2008's thread would get 4000 replys and so many hacks. With that being said keep the ball rolling.

[Slammed83Mazda]

This is why you don't piece together link bars, the edges were beveled and everything and look how flush the weld is. This bar was re-welded 3 times over and the bead was not flat when it was finished. They were begging to pull apart.

[Slammed83Mazda]

This held onto my truck for a year, daily driven. Scary huh?

[radarblue95]

if they put a plug in there it woldnt be that bad

[Slammed83Mazda]

Frame rusting from the inside out. Scary huh?

[PowerDown]

wow, glad there is a new thread... now i don't have to go through so many pages.

[Slammed83Mazda]

I believe this pic should be framed and hung on a wall.


I nor did a buddy of mine put these on, the actual shop who did the work. The zip ties that is.

[CounterCulture]

You realize that all the zip ties are doing is holding the airline right?

Good point. Better safe than sorry.

[Redd]

I sleep better at night knowing that zip tie is on there.

couple reposts there so here is a wombat [IMG][/IMG]

[Redd]

Well i have jmews old truck... this was when he owned it and first had it bagged. He yanked it out of the shop when he saw the work and it wasnt finished and had it all redone.. Before and after pics
Just a few of the bad ones


leafspring cut in peices for panhard bar mount


After! its a suicidedoors 5 link with a twist as I say. The rear upper bag bar was made, as the wishbone crossmember on the axle and gastank crossmember.

[Slammed83Mazda]

Nice save, welds looks solid.

[cpolaris502]

I love all of the reposts from the 08 thread.

[RuLayd]

ehh

[Slammed83Mazda]

1 of mine was a repost, but I don't think I ever actually posted pics of the mazda.

[Speedy2222]

not really a hack.. but definitely NOT the right way to do it..

[2001xBlazer]

yeah i posted mine form the 08 thread...but there just so damn funny!

[Mcfly Minis]

welding to cast

[bubbagt57]

you can weld to cast if properly done

[s10sixteynine]

damn there is some nice stuff in that pic to be so dumb and weld to the pumpkin

[Diablo]

hope the original poster doesn't mind if I post his truck.



enjoii

[PunkDime99]

so is that a FWD truck? or am i riding on the failboat today too?

[Diablo]

it's actually a funny looking skateboard

[doored454]

Jesus christ is this thread gonna get whored with welding to cast bullshit too? That shit is annoying, it's already been covered that it can be done if properly prepped and using the right materials, so just ****ing stop already. Besides I don't know if you tards noticed or not but the other side of the pumpkin tabs is a bar that runs to the axle tube.

[sadexcuse4s10]

god damn not this argument again.

[s10sixteynine]

yes it is fwd it is a volkswagon, i want one same drive train as the old gti's

edit they are unibody as well

[PunkDime99]

that truck is doored on 18/20s.. the truck is beautiful.. ive seen it in person many times.. i never noticed the cast welding..

[Diablo]

http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothrea...ostid=53380127 there is the remaining pictures of the truck I posted.

[doored454]

Look at this other picture that was for some reason not shown, looks pretty badass to me and I bet it wouldn't break.

[Diablo]

Here is how I done the rear of my truck, instead of welding the bars to the pumpkin

[s10sixteynine]

sorry didnt mean to get my ass e-kicked lol but in most cases the ppl doing it don't know how to properly weld to cast, and even when they say they do cause they have the right materials, most of the time ppl dont bother to preheat it

[Mcfly Minis]

We all know anyone who is welding to cast on an s10 isn't doing it the correct way. I will always consider it a hack. There are so many ways to work around it. Just spend the extra time and do it.

[kdknebel]

not really hacked just dumb







thay just painted over the lights thay didnt shaved em

[Slammed83Mazda]

HAHA I consider that a hack.

It looks like some overly long bolts holding the shock in a very bad position mounted to bars without enough triangulation.

i've seen that rear end setup before, but where?

[Mattpyle]

Why would you even put shocks there?


Maybe it's some fancy setup where the axle moves forward and back for some odd reason. lol

haha man there is like 10 of them 88-98 chevys rollin around here with "corvette" roll pans,but have the factors tail light unpainted. it looks alright with the lights shaved...but i still wouldnt do it lol

[Em Fab]

i wonder how many pour vettes are missing there tail lights due to these damn roll pans.

[cpolaris502]

I'm embarrassed to post these. This is from the 1st month that i had my rear bagged. At first i had no shocks, but then i discovered how much i needed them right away and this was the best idea i had at the time. I couldn't find shocks that were short enough when compressed and had the right amount of travel.


Then before i put the floor in I came up with the idea to use some axle shock mounts for my uppers. No more hacks on my truck lol.

[GET_LOW]

Atleast you welded it up good.

[Wicked Mayhem]

i consider this hacked.. its my buddy t-bird. hes gone through 4 or 5 380's cause of the hacks wiring. STREETBEAT did it in the houston area.. he got hosed. it had like 2 relays per compressor, you could unplug the relays and the compressors would stay running. stuff was grounded to sound deadner.. it was sweet. so me and my buddy(SCOOTCH) on here cleaned it up for him.. he will be getting a different tank soon so we will clean up his valves at that time..




we went to ekstensive and got a dual pack 480...now.. his amp and cap are mounted up on the rear firewall piece. and the relays and all the wiring is behind the back seat. so he can just lift it off and get to it all. he was picking up some wire loom on the way home to cover comp. wiring.

[blazerida88]

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

[greencactus3]

nice angle on those shocks
