Let this be a lesson to all the youngsters. We are not superman. Lol.
I cannot remember what caused it. I can tell you my story. Deep pain that burns in the butt cheek, goes all the way to the calf. Is not something you put off. It feels like a burning steel. Yup, i herniated disc between L5 and S1. Take care of your back guys. Seats, transmissions, heads, or even a door. In the long run its not worth it. Im having surgery soon. And recovery after that. But after recovery i will evaluate my hobby. I may have to quit a few things. I will be more around here since i have nothing else to do. Forums and playstation for 5 weeks. Lol... -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |

Oh man noberto. Hope surgery goes well. But 5 weeks of playstation sounds fun. I haven't even had time to touch mine. Be safe.

Yea LOL me too at work. But that's because the other guy can't do ANYTHING without help. Can't even pull a control arm down from a knuckle by himself.
Mean while I'm rebuilding a whole front end alone, holding the steering box with one hand and lining up the bolts with the other...no problem. Solo diag eletrical? sure. Only thing I need help for is bleeding brakes and if I could do that alone too I would! -------------------- |

It's all useless, at least if you're unfortunate enough like myself to have genetic tolerance. Everytime I see an Advil or Tylenol commercial where "it got rid of their chronic pain" I want to show them what real pain is, but should I digress...

Once you're healed up you should be fine with continuing working on cars, just next time when it's something that really requires more than one person go and find said extra person.
 Or get a transmission jack, those things are great for all kinds of things. Oooh, and a car lift. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

I know of a very nice lift in like-new condition that would fit in your garage perfectly. The price is more than fair. I'm tempted to get it for myself. If I had the room, I'd be loading up the 4Runner and a trailer and heading your way to pick up your first gen, but I think you should finish it when you start feeling better. It's just a matter of time!

a month or two won't kill anything, you can work on smaller projects for the cars in the mean time.
just pretend it's winter. get into headlight retrofitting, learn about building LED arrays and make custom tail/turn lights. www.hidplanet.com This post has been edited by Bitter: May 2, 2015 - 1:05 PM -------------------- |
