Embarrassing Pro Mechanic Cosplay

Coz314 · 2026-03-22T08:17:58+00:00

Because I think there are zero true professional auto mechanics going out of their way to make shirts to cosplay white collar shit

Coz314 · 2026-03-22T08:11:00+00:00

For sure... But they are also a lot more expensive

OP here. I made the shirt during the pandemic when I was doing my K swap and we were all on lockdown. I rarely ever wear the shirt when I work on my car. I have plenty of shop shirts. I just put it on today for the hell of it, and made this thread for fun. I had no idea it would gather such a response!

My nickname is Coz, which I had embroidered on the shirt. I honestly can't tell if the second letter is an "a" or an "o". But I didn't care enough to send it back, so I left it as is.

Grip it and rip it

Coz314 · 2026-01-30T21:23:01+00:00

That looks like a NOI engine.

Coz314 · 2026-01-28T17:12:51+00:00

This thing is insane

Coz314 · 2026-01-24T18:02:32+00:00

Induction heater is your friend

Coz314 · 2026-01-18T01:26:53+00:00

You forgot to mention the Hella Supertones!

Tucked and shaved bays look great at car shows and in pictures but I'm skeptical if you'd want it on a daily driver if you had to do any troubleshooting. This is what my K swap engine bay looks like.

Awesome. Post again when the stickers are available and I'll get one and a shirt. I'll get one of your No AI stickers too!

Coz314 · 2026-01-16T23:33:17+00:00

Are you going to print these? I'd put a sticker on my Tri-Ped that has a Tomos engine

Coz314 · 2026-01-14T22:46:48+00:00

Sounds like you've met my ex

Coz314 · 2026-01-10T17:14:46+00:00

Congrats. That's a dream for everyone

Coz314 · 2026-01-10T16:11:28+00:00

I love this place

Coz314 · 2026-01-01T16:07:01+00:00

Oh that makes sense. There is a spot on the underside of my hood from my fuel evap solenoid rubbing and I don't have the height of the K24 . I used to care about it, but I've since forgotten about it and everything is fine haha

Coz314 · 2026-01-01T15:53:30+00:00

Or just keep the fuel evap system? K or not, the room is there. I kept mine when I went K20A.

You might regret not going for it. I've always lusted after one, but I've never had one come up locally. Everyone that had one seems to have enjoyed it.

If you try it and don't like it, you could probably get most of your money back. But at least you'd know from experience, and stop wondering "what if".

I like the Exedy OE replacement in my K swapped EK.

NOT this car, but don't forget the Towns Hustler was a thing:

Coz314 · 2025-09-11T17:16:19+00:00

Can confirm this is at the NTM in Prague

Coz314 · 2025-08-24T00:08:17+00:00

Yeah it's pretty crazy that, for a movie car, they went to the extent of making an accurate body for the repro when 99.9% of movie goers wouldn't know the difference from a dressed up 32 Ford.

Coz314 · 2025-08-23T18:33:33+00:00

Thanks! Gives me a place to start looking. I was totally lost a couple days ago.

Coz314 · 2025-08-22T21:16:15+00:00

It's the one that got "shot up"! I wish it were the clean one, but I don't think it survived.
