All Bad!!!!

[rps13driver]

So i was driving my car the other day when i noticed a random buzzing sound coming from my car. i thought it was coming from my motor (since it has 233,xxx miles on it) but when i opened the hood i couldn't locate the sound. i had my friend ride along with me and he said it sounded like it was my clutch or something, because it made the buzzing sound when it revved down. he told me i should look at it when i get home. but i was in a hurry because i forgot i had a paper i had to type up for my class, i had to drive from Tracy, ca to San Jose Ca, because i forgot my computer at school (i go to SJSU). upon arriving in San Jose i laid down to look at my cat and realized i drove my car 54 miles at 75mph with one bolt hanging in the bolt hole with no nut, and the other one was gone! ALL BAD!!!! as of right now my exhaust is held on by a coat hanger tied around the holes (because i have no tools or a floor jack with me), but i am planning on going to an autoshop next time i drive my car and bolting my exhaust back on.

cool

at least the cat didn't fell off. one time it happened to me on my sentra, the whole exhaust collapsed on my way to pick my girlfriend up from work. so we made the whole 16 miles trip with just a header and dragging the whole assembly underneath. I did not have a jack or tools to remove the exhaust system.

Who cares, I drove my car 7 hours home dragging a apexi n1 with all broken hangers. Maybe I should make a thread.

When i was still N/A i had a header break at the collector at 50mph dropping the front half of my whole exhaust...when it was raining yea that was fun

[koukis4teen]

yeah i read this expecting a catastrophe lol.

[j-z]

so you didnt notify the local law enforcement of your problem??

[S13Joe]

Bring it to customer service and report a problem.

[nevertheless]

I dont get this All Bad statement Put the bottle down, s*** happens.

At least your car is running, and at least you didnt drill a hole in your fuel hard lines, pull the wrong one, break 3 battery boxes, leak half a tank of fuel in your garage on the floor, pull the carpet to run the battery wire and find 2 holes in your floorboard from rust, another large hole in the side of the car from rust with soaking wet insulation underneath all for something that should have taken 2 hours max that is still NOT done and has turned into a bigger project than building the engine.

Oh and did I mention I need to drop my engine this weekend but I failed miserabley by letting my engine fall onto a tire but still being attatched to the engine stand with a bent trans bolt? And I spent over $300 on an intake that wasnt provided with hardware To make it worse I also need power steering lines that Im waiting for them to be shipped when I paid for them almost a week ago, I broke off a cast iron peice of my $800 turbo because Im an idiot?

We all have problems with our 240's, this is what unites us, I just thought Id share and make you feel a little better about your situation

Wow, that sucks. Well I also failed a few times today. Here we go:Fail #1: Putting a KA24E into a 92 Coupe (Runs like a champ but still... ugh.)Fail #2: Removing the header: 1st bolt, fine, 2nd took out the stud instead of the nut and 3rd, stripped the bolt (time for the wheel of death, you f***ing bolt.)Fail#3: Trying to put in an engine while the trans is already in. I've heard it sucks but I thought I could do it, I guess taking the lazy way out sucks too.Fail #4: Not putting in the engine before I ran out of time on my engine hoist rental.

I f***ING SUCK. Atleast beer makes everything better. And yes, I RENTED AN ENGINE HOIST. Didn't have the regular one available at the time so I did it.

I'm sorry though, but i must ask, how the f*** did you wind up drilling a hole in your fuel lines? Drills + Cars = Bad Choice (depending on the situation).

[mRodiek]

Ill put it like this, be very careful when drilling holes to relocate your battery, very very careful lol

And yeah that list of fail sucks lol reminding me why im puting them in together!

[S13Joe]

Exactly. I've put motor and trans in before with success but not just motor alone. It is not worth it people! Don't be lazy! Thats not thinkin with yer dipstick!
