Hey guys,
I'm not sure if this is a gag or not, but just take a read on this one... this guy tried to "port and polish" his Audi engine... by forcing sand through the air intake...with the engine running and in the car...
SandblastThe name.... is DUMASS

I think the story would have been more convincing if the author had misspelled his words and had used poor grammar. His grammar was excellent and the document looked spellchecked. The other problem with the story is that the author's friend was a Honda mechanic, in which case there's no way they would have dumped sand in the engine. I have a Honda and dumping sand in the engine is not in the workshop manual. The third problem with the story is that the engine would have died after just a little sand. A half-bag of sand would not have fit.
Funny story, though.

Yeah I didn't have much time to analyze it, but now that I look at it more closely it's an obvious fake. I like the "check engine light" part

Ya gotta love a good troll. The follow on responses are funnier than the original post. All you can say is: "suckers!"

reminds me of the old autocrossing 914 limo thread from the PP BBS a while back.
