I was changing the filter on my intake and some how i dropped a screw driver inside the fender. I knew i lost it but didnt know exactly where it was. I fell out on the freeway and i think i may have caused an accident or at least cracked someones window.

system shorted out and melted like 5 wires in the factory wiring harness.

Lets see...

Ive lost a socket in my engine compartment, screwed up my interior switch thingy, broke 2 neons (none of which were my fault), oh and the worst was...

I was hooking up some interior neons, and I was powering the switch. Well, being I was a n00b, I hooked it up to the postive connection on my battery first. So I was pulling a livewire through the firewall, it hit some metal, and it started to spark. I was really scared :/

changing the dash colour. haah. i wish it was just stock. it's all uneven and shit. i fear it will hurt my resale when the guy decides to turn on the lights...

Well When I was changing my rear brakes I had a pair of neednose pliers pulling on one of the springs....and pulling toward me(like a dumbass) to release the tension. Well they slipped off the spring and i managed to stab myself on the inside of my nose almost completely going through my septum(that part that separates your nostrils) Talk about ouch. Nearly knocked my ass out and bled like a b*tch.

Cleared my headlights. Was lazy and didn't seal it up with silicone. They fogged up and I had to do the whole thing over again the next week.

i never sealed mine and they havent had any problems the past 7 months but now i have tyc's so ya know, but no fogging up or leaks!!! so people have and hadnt had problems with that.

anyways the diy i screwed up was the throttle cable adjustment and i managed to idle at 4000 rpms since it was way too tight.

While doing the VTEC DIY One of the wires shorted and disabled my VTEC... I fixed it, but the check engine light was on... boy where those honda techs confused.

[horatio]

when aren't those honda techs confused?

I dunno after hearing all that stuff, in which I was going to (attempt) clear my headlights this week. But now who knows.

just did mine ... easy as pie .. i painted them gunmetal too

[Falcon]

never really screwed up yet! i guess im just lucky

headlights, tail lights, underglow lights, fog lights (thats a lot of friggen lights), aluminum mesh install, headunit dash install/wiring, new horn install/wiring, amp wiring, sub wiring, rca wiring, (thats a lot of friggen wiring).. and thats it.. oh.. rims.. lol.. i dont think that really counts.. kinda tough to mess up

WAIT now that i think of it, i did mess up on the rims.. i used the OEM lugs on tuner wheels and well.. only about one thread of the lug was holding the wheel!! damn thing was almost falling off!! (but i got a set of tuner lugs the next week or so.. so it was ok)

next DIY is putting in coilovers.. shouldnt be too hard since i have a pro helping me out.. and putting on a license plate cover.. i think i can handle that

When doing indiglo guages on my old car (2000 protege) the fuel and gas guage where together on the same pod and I broke the needle...oops
