What Dumb Ass thing did you do to your Cobra today?

Ok...I will start. Pulled engine and replaced all valve stem seals and check all I could to insure engine as it should be. Stabbed it all back in started it up all is great. Went to put the clutch cable back on and guess what.....the clutch fork is still on the bench....well shit. Pulling out the trans tomorrow dammit.:bash::bash::bash:

I tired to hook my up my Autometer oil pressure gauge after two years of procrastination. Bought all the fittings yesterday took the oil feed line off for the s/c from the oil cooler/filter adapter and found out I didn't have all of the fittings that I needed so I had to hook everything back up until I get what I need this week so I can try again.

Didn't touch it even though I wanted to.

Lots of rain and it didn't need fixin.

Not my dumbass thing, but I went to relocate the transmission cross-member brackets for my T56 and found that the guy who I had install my subframe connectors, years ago, decided it would be a good idea to weld the brackets to the frame rails. And they're freaking hard welds, too. I quit working on it before I got too frustrated. I'm just going to have to find a smaller grinder/cut-off tool because the one I have is too big for such a small area. I think my Father has one out at his work that I'll be able to borrow.


Don't you love it when people just do things without asking you... :bored:

Bought a 04. The dumb thing is that now im in debt. Maybe I will sell it and get myself back to debt free. I sure regret it.

I was helping a buddy install valve keepers ... and we dropped one down one of the oil return drains. Heard it clink as it hit the oil pan.

i had an AFR related intermittent stumble/hick-up last week. at varied engine loads and speeds. i spent two hours data logging and making cal changes before i realized i left the AC on, it was the compressor kicking on and off.

Let my wife drive it last night. It cost my a year off my life and probably a new clutch.
