Eh hem! Am I the only one that uses this thread?
What annoys me:
Getting the engine and transmission back together to discover a quarter size puddle of oil leaking from an oil fitting, then breaking the oil fitting trying to take it off, then getting it all stuck in the block in the process.
And people who MUST one-up you on everything. I was at a junkyard pulling some A/C brackets from an Integra and some guy came up to pull some stuff. He mentioned to me that he pulled the cars transmission last week and that it has a YS1 and it was worth over $1000. Well I thought that was kind of an odd statement because i'm fairly certain thats the stock transmission and it's not worth anywhere near $1000. Hell, if it's worth a grand I'd sell my rebuilt one and buy a used one for $200 and rebuild it again lol.
But that's not it. He asks about my car so I tell him what I have, and mention I just rebuilt my motor. Well apparently he has to one-up me and tell me "Oh well I have an LS-VTEC." My thoughts were somewhere along the lines of "Holy crap, this retard can actually manage to bolt on a vtec head?" that thought followed many others "I'll bet he didn't even do it decently." as well as "I bet he doesn't even know what LS-Vtec actually is." so I mentioned my plans to put the turbo on the car, and how i'm just waiting to break in the motor. Immediately afterwards he throws in "Oh well i'm going to turbo my ls-vtec. It's going to be fast as shit." AS IF I CARE, the only thing on my mind at this time is now "Why won't he leave me the hell alone, I just want to get this bracket off and get the hell out of here!" He then wanders off and goes looking elsewhere and soon returns to remove the butterfly from the throttle body. (Why? Who cares.) He then proceeds to tell me to put a 1.6L throttle body on my motor, because it will make my car faster. All the while, i'm wishing he would shut the hell up and leave me be.
*sigh*
