my piece of crap intercooler is JBWelded together and has been for about a year. Last night at the track, the JBWeld cracked at a crucial point. No coupler would put it back together either. I was an hour away from home and the only thing open was a grocery store.

Got a ride to the grocery store. Got 2 hose clamps, some duct tape, a flathead screwdriver and some epoxy. Got back to the car, mixed up all the expoxy, Cut a 2" strip out of my shirt with a boxcutter that was in my car, soaked it in the epoxy and wrapped the intercooler with it.

Folowed up with the duct tape and 2 hose clamps. Got me home without a problem By this problem I was pretty pissed, until I got to my apt and realized I locked myself out, but thats another story

HaHa, MacGyver is still on. They're just reruns though. I just watched it the other night, don't know what channel though. I think it was like TBS or one of those stations. It was like 3 in the morning and I got all excited that it was on. My wife just looked at me like i was retarded.
