bwahhaah thats classic, im glad someone out there also hurts themsleves when working on the car. I thought i was the only one.

Had a small injury today where i wanted to test if the ciggie lighter was working properly, needless to say my finger has a nice sized blister on it now.

Hehe, you're not alone, I just put a screwdriver in to the top of my left hand (installing an Apexi POD) ... was tightening one of those metal band thingies which you screw to tighten, was taking too long, was tired, slipped ......... need "ice ice baby"

[Boostzor]

Bwhaha i saw my dad shove a screwdriver into his brain via a nostril once. Wasnt so funny at the time with the amount of blood and all but dam i had a good laugh after the catscan was done adn nothing was wrong. I think i get my accident pronness off him actually.

it sounds like a booby trap! crazy japs

reminded me of when i was replacing cpu while plugged into a live socket - stupid i know. but that was yeeassrrrrrs ago :uh-huh:

^ aw11's cheap high number 200. :alien:

Did you buy that motor from Dr_Drift?

I was there when he took it off the window assembly, and boy did it fling out. Lucky for him, he used his foot to hold down the rails while he unscrewed the motor. Once that last screw was out all hell broke loose.

Sorry for not thinking of putting up a thread, i know for next time.

aw11, I did sorta the same thing ... cept my mother stole the power cable to the computer, so instead of doing the smart thing and realising that the kettle used the same cord type, I used three coasthangers which I bent out (I was only like 12, gimme a break) ...

Well, you guessed it it was all working fine until I decided my hand belonged next to me instead of on the desk, course the computer was also next to me with streaming 240 volts care of the coathangers ....

Hand went down, thankfully safety switch caught it, however hand went up straight into a running fan ... felt the electricity go down my arm and to my chest, arm and hand was numb for a good 5 mins or so, only after did I reliase how much damage the fan did to my fingers

cam, how long did it take you to write that with one hand

[R33_Cam]

hehhehe, im not used to typing with one hand, i can sort of use my right hand, but its a bit difficult, as its bandaged up.

Al: yeah it was the motor that i got off Dr_Drift, dont matter ill be rite, just temporary loss of use of my right hand, hahaha

Macka: if ya dont have to unscrew the 3 screws that are on the motor you'll be rite as it only springs back when u take those screws out

rs73: did you want a pic of the actual motor? i can take one and PM it to you if u want.

Boostzor: its the first bad injury ive had while working on the car, hehe, but im sure there are plenty more to come.....
