Things that make you go "DAMN IT"....
 
Installed the headers, extensions and Dansk sport muffler..took some tweaking , got the bumper back on and then looked over in the corner and saw the rear engine tin..... DAMN IT!!

Easier to take the engine brace off (all solid mounts) than removing the exhaust again... Think I can squeeze it in this way???

ddinham 05-09-2013 03:43 PM

Moments like that can make you feel like your whole world is turned upside down...

Reinstall your just rebuilt engine (by yourself), runs, woo hoo! Forgot to align the clutch fork with the pilot bearing so the motor needs to come half way out again.....DAMMIT!

Weird? On the IPad it appears rightsideup.

James Brown 05-09-2013 05:29 PM

thinking the tone ring on a 3.2 flywheel is the starter ring, DAMN IT! (not me but many)

Putting the brake calipers on the wrong side and unable to bleed the brakes - DAMN IT!

Joe Bob 05-11-2013 06:33 PM

Nipples up.....like wimmen.....

install drivetrain with "new" trans in SC, go to hook up clutch helper spring...notice that trans is set up for clutch mechanism without helper spring and shaft has no place to put the spring...must drop drivetrain and separate engine/trans to install new style longer shaft.

ddinham is another one of those "types" that likes to hang his vehicle from the ceiling when working on it (and hangs the other garage stuff from there too)! Did you get some tips from quattrorunner? If not, ask him what he uses to stick his car up there! :p

rinverso 05-11-2013 07:51 PM

Omg that's just too much dammit. Funny though:)

At 70 years of age, if I take out more than two bolts I will forget where I laid them. Dammit!!

Install 4-piston aluminum Brembos on my 928 and spend hours bleeding them. Get frustrated, check the factory shop manual.

-bleed master cylinder- check (wish my 911 master cylinder had a bleed nipple)
-bleed clutch slave- check
-bleed BOTH bleed nipples on each caliper- DAMNIT

Instances too numerous to list. Latest yesterday. Changing trans oil on 70. Just started pumping first quart. Wait, there's a leak. No, forgot to reinstall drain plug. DAMMIT.

I have the same problem, put a screw driver down on a work bench, go to grab it 1 minute later and can't see it, AND I'M LOOKING RIGHT AT IT
