I was in a rush one afternoon and about to leave only to realise that id left my wallet inside,well i thought i did,and so after looking everywhere for it i decided to look in my car i put my knee on the passenger seat and as i was bending over to look under the seat anyway my knee slipped and it caused my head to become wedged in between the drivers seat and the steering wheel,the seat was close to the wheel cause id been vaccuming it earlier on,this meant i wasnt in my origional position to pull myself back out.It was very awkward but i ended up using the latch to slide the seat back and got my head out.

HAVE A WHALE OF A TIME IN A SKYLINE @TM@ :elaugh:

ive got a couple more :(

1. Driver door closing on my leg whilst I am installing or modifying something has happened more than once, doesnt seem to stay very well at half mast and I cant fully open cause of the other 34 parked next to me in garage!

2. Passenger seat tried to kill me: I was trying to release it forwards from the drivers seat [with belt on] so as to let someone get in the back, I leant across and hit the latch at the side [thinking I would catch the seat it on its way] but it was way too quick for me and copped a nice hit on the noggan for my efforts :)

Have banged my head on both boot and bonnets - these hurt!

Just about everytime I pull a part of the car, which happens almost weekly, I manage to cut, bruise or damage myself in some way!!!

And I am not even the accident-prone type :)

There was an incident with the exhaust - but I wont go there...

I can't do anything to my car without being hurt in some way. Whether it is removing wheels, exhaust, changing oil, shocks, hicas bar or whatever I always manage to bruise or cut myself!

I hit my head on the boot latch probably once every few weeks, maybe i'm a slow learner :)

never been hurt by my own car cept a couple of years ago when I ran over my own foot with my own car.... i put the car in neutral and was rolling the car backwards while standing beside the car using the steering wheel to direct. I forgot to count for momentum and ran over my foot. :)

But then again... body parts can grow back (i think) as long as your car isn't hurt, who cares?

    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
