stupid hood latch...

[Mean Green]

So yea, I've been sloooowly getting my car put back together checked everything on the damn car to make sure nothing else has an issue.

From doing all this work...my arms are killing me, my neck hurts, my back hurts, and most of all, the back of my head hurts from the stupid ass hood latch hook thing...

has anyone else put their plenum on, went to stand up and smack their head on that hook / latch?




grrrrr that shit hurt like hell....I have a nice sized knot on the back of my skull from that thing...I ALMOST punched my fender and just hit my brother instead...lol

[Austin@STM]

Yeah i hate that, the lift at the shop is usually what gets, i'll drop a bolt and go to stand up and headbutt the arm of the lift. Not a feeling that i like having thats for sure.

Congrats on getting the car back together, how much more until it starts?

Yeah, it f'ing sucks. Royal pain in the ass, haha.

I have to convert it to a single CAS, fill it with oil and coolant, then that's pretty much it...I just got really frustrated and had to come inside. I am still waiting on the guy that is trading cars with me to get the exhaust done on the new car...can't wait.

Are you kidding me? I was working right under one of the corners where the hood meets the headlight. I stood up really quick and nailed my head on it. Blood started pouring down my face and I had to hold my head back to prevent the blood from dripping all over the floor... but it didn't matter. It dripped down my chin and onto whatever was below it.

When I had the wound all gauzed up, I checked the spot on my hood only to see the paint chipped off around the edge that I hit my head on.

damn dude...lol...you must have one hard ass head to chip the paint off...haha

I didn't bleed but it sure as hell felt like it.

I think the worst part about it was that when I hit it, I could hear that sort of "chipping" sound like when you crinkle a flake of pain between your fingers. I knew that I hit my hood pretty damn hard at that point... the pain inflicted kind of told that too but, you know.

That really must have sucked, i have hit my head pretty good a few times, but never drawn blood once, OUCH

[Mean Green]

I got the rear head off again...lol...and yep...sure enough, I did it again. Same exact spot to...now my head hurts like hell.

I've had the lift arms jump out and crack me in the head. That's the worst, thinking your clear and taking an arm to the top of the head.

[Chris@Rvengeperformance]

i hate how the corner of the hood is right at eye level with me when I'm bending over the engine bay. I'm always worried about gouging my damn eye out.

I can't even touch my vr4 without bleeding....

[Mean Green]

I can't even touch my vr4 without bleeding....

Amen...lol...there is so much truth to this statement.

[mh3kgt]

Amen...lol...there is so much truth to this statement.

Seriously, it's like an unbending force. The other weekend I got almost completely done with a clutch swap on the vr4 and thought to myself, "Wow that went way too easily, I haven't even bled yet", I thought this right as I was tightening up the last bolt on the tcase, and wouldn't you know it, the wrench slipped and I smashed the piss out of my finger and instantly saw blood gushing out through my latex glove :( I got a nice big gash from my tcase brace

I got myself good today...no blood but it hurt like hell...

I went to get in the car and somehow, the door glass caught me right in the arm pit. The corner of the glass jabbed right in there and OMFG that shit hurt like hell.....then I pushed the car out to wash it and ran over the front of my foot..lol..couldn't get to the ebrake fast enough so my foot stopped it.

I'm must be short or something, because I have never hit my head. I have had my hair get caught on the damn clips that hold the hood insulator on, but now I wear a doo rag. And like mentioned above, I can't work on the car without bleeding.

You should child proof your car hood with a little styrofoam on the parts you keeping hitting yourself on.

I think the worst thing that has ever happened, this drew blood, I was working on my fuel pump and it was cold out...the rear hatch came crashing down and nailed me on the back just below my neck. It hit my back bone dead on...now that hurt..

[Austin@STM]

that hurt me just thinking about it.
