dropped a downpipe on my face.

that is all.

 

I feel your pain, I've done the same thing

 

This could be an official "dumb things I've done while working on my subaru" thread.

 

in that case, i could add some more.

- Stripped a lug nut.
- took off my tbe, but cant remove the sensor.

bad week of subie prolems...

 

Thanks for the laugh.

 

Just dropped my midpipe on my head. Ouch.

 

It only counts if it occurred as part of legitimate maintenance. Experimental garage self-mutilation is a different thread...

 

Awesome, that was my worst fear when swapping mine...Fortunately, it was only dirt in the eye for both LGT Mark and I

...oh and we broke a bolt

 

Haha. Funny thread. Working on car get harmful at time. I sprayed wd40 on my face before. Wrong direction.

 

Saturday we were doing a suspension swap on a friends Jetta. The axle decided it wanted a divorce from the hub, and the top nut bolts decided that 1/3 were going to strip on the way out.

Basically VW's look good on the outside, but under the skin everything is c-h-e-a-p. as if they never heard of galvanized fasteners.

 

I hate working on vw's.

 

Thats not healthy

 

You wouldn't have that issue with a cusco dp. So light.. so nice

 

Hope it wasn't hot!


Better than adjusting VW GTI coilovers utilizing a factory jack and having the car fall 3 seconds before your 6"7 friends pulls you out from under the car.....ahh highschool what a great time it was.

 

One time I was talking on the phone while removing my 1/4" metal skidplate (don't laugh...ok laugh) and I wasn't paying attention to which bolt I was on and I pulled that last one off without know and the whole thing dropped onto my face. The **** was heavy!
