THE do-it-yourself craze is leading to thousands of injuries from angle grinders. Almost seven Queenslanders a day are turning up at hospitals with injuries from the high-speed tool, used for cutting metal and other hard materials

Cy, you're now a statistic :(

It isnt as bad as Cyrus, i dont really care if it needs stiches cuz im not letting no doctor stick a needle near me.

Tip - Next time u drill into those blank plastic clip things in your dash use a vise. Holding it with your fingers doesnt quite work when the drill bit grabs.

jk lb :)

OK list of self inflicted injuries:

1. 3 years old, was seeing how high I could throw a brick up in the air and still catch it. Needless to say I missed, but the brick didnt. Broken collar bone

2. 3 years old, while toboganing down my street my foot snagged a drain. Broken ancle.

3. 5 years old, while ice skating and trying to break the under 5 ice speed record, hit a car. Broken ribs & left arm.

5. 10 years old, riding along beside the gutter with thongs on, got a bit close and my left foots toenails were whisked away in under a second.

5. 13 years old, while riding a motorbike, at night, with no lights, in the middle of a national forest, rode into a newly erected barb wire fence flat out in second. dislocated shoulder, broken arm, HEAPS of stictches and a cool helecopter ride.

6. 15 years old, while snowboarding at night on a closed run, while illegally tresspassing, took a wrong turn which lead to a big drop, ended up in a tree with a broken leg and minor cuts and abrasions.

7. 17 years old, while holding onto the side of a car, riding my bike, I got the speed wobbles around 70kph. Bike hit side of car and went under, left leg went with it. Also took out my left kneecap, which is now a mirror copy of my right kneecap and has a lovey Dow Corning brand name stamped into the back of it.

And they are just the major's, I would not have enough room to list the minors like the grinder incident.

Summary, yes I did have a deathwish and was very very stupid ;)

Hang on a sec, maybe should change that "did" to a "do" :)

I'm a clumsy ****er

I believe the proper term you are looking for is:

Stupendos Moronic Idiotic Klutz

No I just do things which other people think are that way, Ed's got the best sig:

..... only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go

    • I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side
    • Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.
    • Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
    • Wow that's a steal, you've done well there.
