number 1 happytime f^%$up!

Alright, I really shouldnt post this because your all going to ream me for it but oh well here she goes...

I'm installing two amps in my 92 sl and I feel farily comfortable because Ive installed amps a few times before..

And Im feeling lazy becaus Ive been sick for like two weeks... so Im like "screw doing all the work to wire it through the grommet, ill just drill through the firewall" well I usually know what im doing but I f up my calculations and nick the freaking brake hardline! :shakehead so, im like "crap... that liquid isnt brake fluid.. please no!" and I go hit the brakes and there squishy as my sisters belly! AHHHHH...

Go ahead laugh it up, I deserve it... so I use the emergeny brake and downshifting to get to a shop and drop it off so hopefully they can fix it tomorrow... how gay of me!

Then later I freaking cut myself shaving! :banghead: I never do that! I just couldnt get it together today... should have just stayed asleep!

well at least it wasnt one of my buddys cars, just a bruised ego mostly! anyway so everyone feel good about themselves for I am the most titanic loser of them all!!! BOW TO ME!:frown: :icon16:

that SUCKS!!!

That's bad, but not that bad dude, shit happens. Next time you'll know not to cut corners unless you have to. My ex gf's dad was braking with his emergency brake for I think two months, and it doens't help that he's in Norway...

Dude drilling a hole is so much harder than just using the grommet. WTF were you thinking.

Yeah, a lesson learned I guess... hopefully at least... I wonder if they will have to replace the entire line, or just the part I mucked up? oh well the cost of stupidity!... Thats pretty brave of him in Norway I didnt know that the e brake would work that long with constant usage!

Dude, seriously, im on some meds as of late and its messing with my mind! no joke! but the doctor said 4-6 weeks and its been 3 sooo...

But I wanted to go through the passenger side also so there would be less chance of interference. but shite on me at least the holes drilled now! :icon16:

Bah, play nice stealthee. We can't all be perfect like you:p

Definately one day you should have slept in!

Umm you do know theres a grommet on the passenger side too right?

uhhh. actually...no.... my sources only showed one on the drivers side...:banghead:

anyway.. the mech acted like they could fix it today... hopefully before dark so I can have brakes and be amped by the time I work again!

pul out your Battery. there is a BIG grommet right there. but hey you already drillled so you probably dont want to hear about it now. :) sorry about your bad luck.

uhhh... ill go weep now. :disappoin


haha... kill me now! everyone at work is like... "Hey man, wheres your car I heard it was awsome!" so i can tell them the truth or just tell them that cops are after me and im getting it repainted fushia and then heading south! haha most of them beleive it!:grinno:

Thanks anyway for being understanding... at least I know for the next project.

I ran my power line to my subsfrom the battery, to the firewall (not piercing it), under my car (where you can unscrew a bracket over other lines running under your car and run it along that and then screw it back in) then up through my back seat (pull the two tabs and you can take out the bottom part of your back seat in like 10seconds) and then run it up through on of those holes with corks in them and to the back. It's a lot easier than it sounds.

I have to agree with Liquid Punk on this one as well. I ran my wires for my system throughy the passanger side of my car as well, right through the front quarter pannel. It worked out really nice, and looks good as well. Then take it down through the carpet, under your back seats, below the floor and then up and through.

Fixed! hooray! Im not driving a jetta anymore! my testicles have returned! :grinyes:

The bastards at the shop really didnt want to do it< they kept complaining and seriously< its a cool car and ITS YOUR JOB PLEASE GIVE ME MY CAR BACK!lol

but hey im back on the road and have system up by this weekend soo cool...:sunglasse

Jeez everytime I had to stop in my girls (aut0)jetta I was slamming the floor with my left foot!

You mean like they didn't want to fix your car or didn't want to give it back to you because they liked it so much!?! ;o/

Ha, yeah I hate that. I always do that after driving manuals and then autos.

:grinyes: haha I think that was their real motive! they said they test drove the brakes so I was sure to check the odometer! ahaha:sunglasse
