Default I'm so dumb... rant

So being the dumbass i am, I decide that the two days I had off this week from work and school would be enough to turbo my daily driver. Well, I got all the major work done except it won't start and the oil drain line is too low on the oil pan and its leaking oil right now. I've had to borrow my mom's minivan to drive to work for two days now, and after tomorrow she will need it for work and stuff, and I have pretty much zero time to work on my car because of work, and I'm all feckin stressed out from no sleep trying to get the ****** running, and I want to spend time with my girlfriend (as gay as that sounds, I hardly ever see her, and I really do like her a lot). I love my car and I hate the idea that I killed it (even if only for temporary) and it drives me feckin nuts to not have a car. Right now I wish I had never done it, but now theres not really any easy going back either. I could have just waited a couple weeks for the end of the semester when I fixed up the other honda for my daily driver. WTF? I'm so stupid. I did this before with my engine swap too, I just never learn. Who wants to drive my sorry *** to work for the next week? :1

Nice one.

I would've given myself much more time, just in case little things go wrong, like they did

unless you can go into it experienced and very prepared, i dont suggest giving yourself a short time frame, unless you can get someone there to help who's got experience.

i went into one kit very prepared and it still turned out shitty, ended up with an o2 wire short, and a turbo with fucked seals. bad news on a car i needed immediately.

yeah 2 days is enough to turbo 4 cars if you know what your doing.

if its your first time, id give ourself some more time to sirt down and go over everyting and make sure its done right, and ask questions along the way if something confuses you
