  1. RBoy says:

    Looks like the driver’s only going to get cold air. What an epic fail.

  2. Greg T says:

    Is that a ‘manual’ thermostat?

  3. Craig says:

    Wait, what? WTF?

    This made my eyes AND my brain hurt.

  4. Pat says:

    Those Toyota’s last forever, especially with brand-new radios that probably out-value the car itself.

  5. Karen says:

    What an ugly jacket!

  6. MtStalk says:

    It`s RUSSIA, baby!!! =)

  7. bobdobbs says:

    What shoddy work, everyone knows that hot is on the left with faucet taps.

  8. Jimmy says:

    When it put on reverse, it does a backwash!

  9. ck159 says:

    “Very funny Joe, now turn down the cold water and let me finish my shower. And keep your eyes on the road for gosh sake!”

  10. Megalodon60 says:

    OMG, you know a heater core is usually $20-$30, same as that faucet and pipes cost and the labor time is about the same, I would never Kludge something this badly, I use my brain once in a while!

    • Matt Scheaffer says:

      Actually heater cores are around $100 and since the entire dash must be removed to change them the labor is usually well over $1000.

  11. WhodatIzz says:

    We have two featured installs today.. the $200 heat/air and the $20 radio package or the 20% heat/air and the $200 radio package?

  12. JB says:

    The worst is that when you use the windsheild fluid, you somehow loss the hot air!

  13. snash says:

    Ill assume he’s bypassing the temp control from the heater core.. Nice Sony X-plode radio though!!!

  14. Mung says:

    That’s a VOLGA! Russian ingenuity FTW

  15. Johnny says:

    Did he do this for shits and giggles, or is there a reason he bypassed the radiator. Please a mechanical explanation!

  16. Sarge says:

    Wow. Epic Kludge.

    That’s like, Kludge Of Fame material.

  17. Blackmoore says:

    This routes the hot radiator fluid directly into the flux capacitor!

  18. Klembo says:

    My 1974 MGB had heater controls just like this.

  19. Joe says:

    Maybe it’s a special water-cooling system designed to keep his sound system properly cooled.

  20. dono1 says:

    When I listen to the blues I like to crank up the volume.

  21. RusFixer says:

    This blue handle controls air intake, the red one is for fuel flow control, and the hardest thing about all that is listening to the engine while switching the gears manually…

  22. In Soviet Russia, car temperature controls you!

    • RusFixer says:

      You can’t even imagine how damn’ right You are, if talking of soviet automotive heritage (I mean, even those cars produced in Russia nowadays mostly still don’t have air conditioning or steering servos).

  23. Demetrius says:

    I had a Ford Taurus that we installed a valve in to bypass the heater core in the summer. It was cheaper/easier than taking apart the dash to fix the heater door.

  24. Asuna says:

    That isn’t his A/C that’s his Fuel and NoS mixing system, blue for fuel, red for NoS

  25. rapunzel says:

    Actually, this looks like a step up from what the maintenance guys where I live have pulled off over the years. Sigh…

  26. Athelas says:

    Do you want some hot tea? Hold your cup next to the right ventilation exit. Left for some cold soda.

  27. Czernobog says:

    We heard you liked to shower…

  28. MtStalk says:

    Ppl… you are funny!!!

    Zadornov said true. Americans never can`t understand russian mind…

    Да и вообще как можно говорить о каких-то заумных вещах, если вы тупики даже не шарите устройство ГАЗ-3110. =) Самое простое а точнее стебное решение! Поменять на оригиналы все стоит не больше 500 рублей… ну по вашему это около 20 баксов чтоль….

    • TheAntiCat says:

      And in general how you can talk about some abstruse things, if you do not even deadlocks Charite device GAS-3110. =) The most simple and rather humorous solution! Change the originals all worth no more than 500 rubles … well, do you this is about 20 bucks чтоль …. (thank you dictionary.com!)

      • MtStalk says:

        Your translate is inexact. ГАЗ – GAZ (Gorkovskiy Avtomobilniy Zavod).
        Шарить – понимать (знать) – to understand (to know).
        Russia it`s not country… It`s…. hm… it`s like the strange phenomenon. I was born in this country and live here for 20+ years, but even I can`t understand some things =)

      • TheAntiCat says:

        Sorry. I used dictionary.com to translate. I just wanted the gist of what you were saying.

  29. Frozenc says:

    The parking brake doubles as the handle on his bucket seat/toilet.

  30. cold says:

    Fake. Nothing else. But in some ways it could help.
    Russian engineering is awesome. Trust me, comrades. (=

  31. Vladimir Ilich Lenin says:

    It’s a fake picture from Za Rulyom (russian orthodox magazine for motorists).

  32. VOLGoff says:

    It is the legendary Russian car Volga. About it say that if from it oil does not flow means it there already is not present.)))
    And in general it simply joke from automobile magazine, about what easier to make so, than to repair a regular heating system…
    But all the same Volga-it our favourite legendary car…)))

    • TheAntiCat says:

      Мне нравится Волги. Они приятные глазу седанов.
      I like Volgas. They are nice looking sedans.

  33. VOLGoff says:

    2 MtStalk +1000000
    Russia cannot be understood a head, it is simply unreal…
    To understand Russian-is necessary to be Russian, differently it will turn out nothing.
    I here was born and there live 26 years ths I sometimes too do not understand that occurs around…)))
    And still Volga-it the first Soviet muscl-car, I about models 23 and 2424, V8,5560 sm3,190 h.p., dispersal to 100 km\h-7.8 second, and all it in 1969…)))

  34. Zarabeth says:

    You silly klunks. It’s a flux capacitor. Didn’t you learn anything from Marty McFly?

  35. william says:

    i take it this controls the water flow into the heater core, the big pipes probably being from the cooling system (red from engine blue to radiator and the smaller pipes are the return pipes to the cooling system and/or heater core maybe)

  36. Kurt says:

    It’s sad that not many people notice that the radio probably costs more than the car it’s installed in.
