Thread: When life gives you lemons...

...you make lemonade.

Conversely, when life gives you a trashed Nissan SR20DE engine, you make a coffee table. Previous owner inadvertently installed a blown engine into his commuter-use B13 SE-R and promptly gave up on it. I pulled the engine to swap in a 30k JDM unit, and just stripped the old engine down to its base components, cleaned everything up and created this! I cut the head and valve cover in half to create a semi cross-section kind of deal. I'm pretty happy with the result overall!

Yes! very nice.

Make me one!!! Lol.. That's awesome great job!

Very nice. You must not be married. I could only wish to put something like that in my living room. Maybe some day after we move i will have some space for one.

Ditto. My wife would not go for that. Nice job though.

My kids would smash the glass and then slam their heads into the block...trip to the ER would follow.

Would be a nice addition to a mancave though.

Thanks guys! I'm certainly pleased with how it came out.

Certainly not married! Single in a nice one-bedroom apartment, and this worked out perfectly as I was lacking a coffee table in my living room this whole time! If I bring a woman by here who approves of it, she's certainly a keeper.

What the heck.. lol. Looks so weird to see that.

I'd definitely sport this, married or not. Thinking out of the box & lets your guests know a major reason why this forum exists. One of the best 4 cylinder motors ever made within the last 25 years. Show it off, under glass...

My goodness thats beautiful.

I made a skyline hood that came with my clip into a coffee table once.

For some reason that stuff is just not popular with chicks.
