my inner fender was torn where my CAI filter was at. I didn't want to risk leaving the filter exposed to the elements of daily driving without something shielding it. Sooo, we cut an antifreeze bottle and wedged it into the hole in the inner fender and put a zip tie on it. It worked well until I hit a bump one day and it came flying off. Then I spent the $25 to buy a new OEM replacement. My second ghetto rig, which was really a wonderful one that I'm still impressed by, was when my flywheel was messing up. The outer ring gear on the fly wheel had become seperated from the inner part of the flywheel. So when I would try to crank my car the starter would just spin the outer ring around the flywheel and the flywheel and the crank wouldn't move. At first I thought the starter wasn't engaging and when I put on a new starter and that didn't fix it we looked at the flywheel. When we realized what the problem was we spot welded the ring gear to the flywheel through the hole where the starter goes. Tried to keep them as evenly spaced as possible to keep it somewhat balanced. It worked like a champ and kept me from spending the money I didn't have on a new flywheel. When I took my motor to Mainstream after locking it up Vteckidd pulled off the clutch and looked at the flywheel and said, "what the fuck is that?" lol.
