Parts as household items...

[madwilly240]

Anybody got any random parts layin around their house??

My girlfriend took 2 of my old pistons and made candles out of them (manly candles... of course) .... and then I have my bent rod/piston assembly on top of my entertainment center as a conversation piece (the time I got stuck in a flood....). I'm trying to make something out of my old crankshaft, I have 2 cams too...

check out this website, its sweet...

good friend of mines basement bar bathroom (the whole basement is car themed) has the racing toilet paper holder, the plunger, and the vanity lights, he used to refuse to tell me where he got them. I'm going to email this to him now.

I have a bead-blasted piston out of a top fuel dragster on my desk at work. Flipped on it's top, I use it as a pen/pencil holder. I also have a used tire from a race car that makes nice back patio "decoration" ..

I have a slick off of a road course built car sitting in my garage as motivation

Get more cam shafts with the crank and make it into a bad ass wind chime.

wow, that's a good idea. i dunno if it would sound good, but it would sure add a touch of testosterone to my apt decorations, which are controlled by estrogen and progesterone.

Our old neighbor had an old train rod and piston he used as a little table in his living room.

[madwilly240]

haha, its too bad cams and cranks would weigh hundreds of pounds...

[theicecreamdan]

I had a flywheel and a camshaft that I was planning on welding together and then use a steel rim as a base for a sweet table.

I never got around to it tho

I have a three cylinder Geo block that I use as a doorstop in my garage. It used to power my go-cart untill one of the pistons blew up, which almost killed me.

^^ hahahah something just sounded funny about that, sorry.

Some dude across town has a crankshaft as the pole for his mailbox.

On the way to the streets of willow track I saw someone with a crankshaft mailbox pole too.

I have a random chunk of carbon fiber from a racecar that I found in the dirt at Buttonwillow's East Loop. I use it for a paperweight.

I used to have Silvia K's badges on the side of my monitor, but I'm thinking of eBaying 'em.

[tastyratz]

lol carbon fiber isnt very much of a paperweight. I just have piles of stuff in my room and all over my house for storage but this is some creative stuff id love to make stuff like im hearing about here. i always wanted a brake disc clock too...

[wootwoot]

I forgot to tell you guys this, something cool my friends dad did. He made a mail box out of rotor housings

[nismo2491]

yeah rotary motor guys tend to have lotsa spare old parts laying around

my friend welded 3 or 4 cam shaft together and heated part of it to bend it into a curve, and now he has a heavy ass pimp cane.
