Was doing a clutch on a 150,000 mile insight at work and when i was trying to pry the trans of the motor i accidently tweaked the flexplate a little. I didnt notice slapped it back together and started car. It made a faint noise and then nothing cel pops on. I'm like wtf pull the trans see the flexplate made contact with sensors for the IMA and they were trash. Order new sensors, next day while I'm buttoning it up I start running bell housing bolts in with the clutch line pinched between motor and trans. Luckiliy it was ok. Advisor sold the job at 9.5 hrs and I would of had done in 1.5. :1

i got all you ****'s beat.

I was really into dirtbikes when i was younger. In 6th grade, I bought a 2 cylinder honda cl175. It had stripped out spark plug holes. So i said ---- it and Jb welded those bitches in. The bike was kinda slow, but one day it just took off like a rocket, and i heard "boom" and one of the plugs had "popped" out. It was shooting flames like a top fuel car, right past my legs, being about a mile from home and it was faster than it ever was, i said ---- it, moved my leg from harms way and proceeded to drive the rest of the way home like a parade on the chinese new year, i had made it all of maybe 300 ft, until the other one decided to let loose, and burn the hell outta my left leg, i dropped that pos as fast as i could and ran my little *** home to mommy.

cliffs,
jb weld and spark plugs=burnt dumbass *** 6th grader.

I thought i didn't have very many.. but after reading these a few good ones came to mind..

1. Had my crx jacked up on the left side with the left front wheel off... go to start working on it and the damn thing see-saws onto the front brake rotor...stock honda jack miraculously didnt kick out..so I go to the back of the car and lean on it..car comes back up. I then scramble to try and throw the damn wheel under the front of the car to stop it from tipping over again.

2. 1 week after I got my crx, my first honda, the notorious clutch switch "plug" crumbles to bits and the car leaves me stranded for two days till I figured it out. 110pm on a Sunday in a parking lot im under the dash feeling for something im not even sure exists and then wham, I touched it and the car proceeded to drag me hanging half out the car all the way across the lot, over a speedbump and up a curb.

3. While doing my y8 swap into my current 91' hatch im busy doing some wiring and so I ask my friend to torque the flywheel. The engine is hanging by the hoist so he cant get them torqued fully and tells me they'll need to be done on the ground to get them tight enough. So I finish a couple other small things and we end the day with the engine hanging there in front of the car. I come back the next day by myself and finish up, and install the engine etc etc. I totally forgot about the flywheel. SO I get the car all together, everything is peachy, except you cant run a y8 on a p28 because it runs like ***, but alas I drive it anyway.

So I drove it for about half a day and I did a couple high rpm pulls, and on one right after I let off I hear a high pitched ringing/scraping. I turn off onto a long street and diagnose..as it gets slightly worse, then turns into a vibration etc etc.. then the clutch starts to feel funny, then it wont come out of ------- gear. And since I killed the battery getting it started the day before I cant start it in gear. Car made HORRIBLE noises fro m the #4 piston area/tranny. I was so scared I spun a bearing. Turns out the flywheel bolts had backed out and began to press on the clutch plate. Every time I pushed the clutch they backed out farther, jacking the disc against the plate and keeping it engaged. It also munched the pilot bearing, had to pull the tranny back out the next day after a 6 day engine swap. SO much for on the 7th day he rested..

4. Also on that same engine swap I neglected to count the plugs from the "front" of the engine to the rear.. and instead counted left to right while looking at the engine in the car. Thats why my battery was dead the next day. Also why I didn't get the car running in time for the autocross the next morning..which is a good damn thing considering the flywheel fell off..

burnt 2 clutches because my car wasn't going into first gear after an engine swap. I realized after that i twas because i bent the 20 dollar shifter arm picking the transmission up. :1

the 13th round

the stupidest thing i ever did was start modifiying my cars.

now im ------- addicted and have no money and cant look at anything with an engine without thinking how i can put a turbo on it or drop something bigger in.

that happens when you realize how ------- awesome turbos are.

eventually beer and turbo will negate the need for women.

the 13th round

too late.

I tow cars alot! I get careless sometimes. So I was pulling this car out of like 50 feet of thick bushes that some girl drove into, I had it by the rear control arms. I was so lazy after the driverside big j-hook feel off I kept pulling, bad idea!

The passagerside hook slid all the way to the outside, I kept pulling, Car starts to drag out sideways then Boom!!!

The hook slid so far over and took such a big angle draging it that it grab the alloy wheel from the inside making a hole in the wheel not the tire


Got the car out told the girl she poped her tire. Charged the girl to change the tire
