What is the most time you've spend on one project for your car?

I spent 13 hours putting in my ACT stage 2 clutch. From 6p.m. till 7a.m. the next morning. There was parts everywhere!

id have to say the DIY grill. i must have been cutting that thing out for a good 2 days. then modifying it so it dont scratch the paint, then seeing if it fit...then trying to paint it. thats where it all went bad.

the primer didnt stick to the calk (what i used to edge the grill so it dont scratch), and it started flaking and shiat. so i had to trash that grill. still havent gotten around to making another one.

the project of getting a reliable 175 to the wheels and high 13's or very, very low 14's in the 1/4 has been going on for about 2 months now

reading the package available for the new mazda protege straight out of the factory doesn't help either[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]
