Re: WORST INSTALL THREAD.
lol a little.
First strut install. Installed the fronts, relatively painless. took a while. got the ride height adjusted. moved to the rears. could not get the strut->lca bolt to break loose so I grabbed the longer ratchet and snapo! Cut my knuckles all up. At this point i had a shock hangin by half a bolt i needed new lca's. ahh the memories.

i was installing my system wires into my TL at 10pm outside in the cold and the i had to remove some of the shielding around the end of the power wire to fit it into my new fuse box, none the less the razor blade i was using ended up taking a chunk off my finger
, i bled so much i got dizzy.

Re: WORST INSTALL THREAD.
On the Mr2 i finally had everthing ready to go back together and was anxious to finish the car. If you didn't kow, the manifold,turbo, and downpipe all drop in as 1 piece so its heavy as shit and cramped. I get everything together and am excited to finally have it back up. Start her up, HUGE exhaust leak. turn off, check the system and all, everything is fine. Then i look over to see i forgot to put on the manifold gasket. took a hefty swing at the side of my house and my knuckles were swollen twice their size for about a month. had to take it all back out to put the fucking gasket in.

I'm sure if I added in all the times a bolt let go and the back of my hand hit something, there's be something to add here. Especially when it's cold outside.

Re: WORST INSTALL THREAD.
Ahhh, the memories.
Putting the turbo kit on my 4 door, at Pete's house at 130am in the morning.
Was trimming up the front bumper for the intercooler piping, was done with everything, just needed a LITTLE piece taken off.
Razor blade + 2 inch cut across my nail, over the top, and down the back end of my thumb = 10 stitches.
But you can guarantee those 10 stitches came 6 hours later, after finishing everything up, running it for a while, and running open downpipe all the way through the Virginia Beach Courthouses and city.
It was worth it.

Re: WORST INSTALL THREAD.
One night we were going to put neons in my friend's scion...... He wanted to. We surveyed it, thought it would be easy and went out to pick up the beer. Got a little twisted and ended up taking us 14hrs, I think someone passed out drunk with wire cutters in their hands in one of the car seats.
CRX lowering spring install, snapped a prominent bolt. Took about 18hrs to get it replaced.
My strutbar on the s2000..... 1 1/2hrs of hell. It's a four point anchor, and was difficult to get it to fit right.
