i was changing the battery in a S2 33 gtst yesterday and was tightening the positive with a spanner when the negative fell back on giving it ground and sparking the sh*t out of everything and giving me 3rd degree burns to my hand. i am an idiot and didnt move negative out of the way enough. i wanted to ask everyone what i should check out in the car to see if it was ok after what happened? and also there is no sound coming out of speakers which run through an amp but the head unit still works? the aerial motor seems to continously run even after it's fully up/down

No offence but it seems that you dont know a great deal about auto electrics. in that case cut your loses and take it to an auto electrician. the amount of times i wish i would have taken my 33 to a pro rather than doing it myself is ridiculous. and taking it to a pro first up woulda saved me $500

but thats just me

you probably blew your amp or deck. check all your fuses, the ones in the boot next to the battery and the ones in the cabbin behind the dash.

electricity is a strange and completely gay world to me, so i make sure i leave most of my serious electric problems to pro's (read: sau pro's). what i suggest is checking with a multimeter all your channels on the amp and the rca's on the deck which will tell you which one has blown.

other than that i'd recommend pm'ing manwhore as he seems like he knows his shit when it comes to electrics.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
