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??? |

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!

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!

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.
