ssssooooo, whos the knucklehead that left the spring out while doing the last oil change?
I always put paper towels on the skid plate to catch the oil so when I put the cover back on the spring must've fell out onto the paper towels which would be the reason I did not hear it. I bought two in case that happens again. I also bought two DCT springs. I'm so pissed about it. I'm one of those guys it says if you want it done right you need to do it yourself. I guess now I'm one of the "other" guys.
lol thats funny. My father had me doing brake jobs (with him watching) on the family cars since I was 12 (mid 50s now), about 15 years ago my wife and bought her a 69 firebird. After complete rebuild of the front suspension and steering, I converted the manual drums brakes to power disc's. After all that was done the following day I brought the car in for state inspection. After a while the mechanic calls me and says hey we have a little problem with your car, can you come up here and take a look. You can see what I did for an ooops moment in the picture. I still keep these pads hanging in my garage just as a reminder to slow down and pay attention. It obviously didn't do much good to the rotor but I chucked that.That would be me! I'm so mad at myself about it because maintenance is my thing. I'm super thorough with it so this has destroyed me. I blacked out for three days and just woke up in the shop floor in the fetal position. I was surrounded by empty beer cans. Who knows what happened.

Meh we've all done dumb crap like that buddy. Wouldn't be human if we didn't. It's called a life lesson. It's the ones we never forget and probably never will repeat. It's all good!That would be me!

Looking good...guess I'm gonna have to get on the list for a set of them.
So the reason it's on its side is because last Monday I changed the oil and found that there was no spring between the engine filter and cover. s***! I've been 100 hours or ~450 miles like that. I finished the oil change and got the spring a few days later. So I turned it on its side so I can remove the cover and install a new spring without loosing oil.
Those do look good, now some 3/4" UHMW added to those frames, it will be ready for Tackett Creek, Devils Cayon trail.
Those look great man. It's killing me to see one with the rears on too. I'm committing to getting a set completed soon. The suspense is too much lol
Those do look awesome. Self control got the better of me and I went back and erased what I was first thinking lol. Blazing fire with a beautiful Honda in the foreground. Especially like the rearview shots.Just thought this was cool pics. It was super hot in July but still had to burn. The pile was getting too big.
