castor Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Well, Long story short. Was in the middle of changing my air filter to the K&N yesterday, looking at the ol vacation pics for inspiration.....you know, kinda off in la la land admiring the sights and pics. Right hand slipped and I cut my thumb to the bone for about 2.75" long and about 1/4 " wide, dead center. Some part of the airbox cover was the culprit....appearently FHI like their parts finely machined. Ouch I said.....as I then bled out like a stuck pig. Put the car back together and drove the Leggasuarus to Emerg. To make matters worse the super hot triage nurse laughed her ass off when I said I was changing an air filter. Doc stiched me up for 6 #3 Ethilon stitches and gave me a lesson in suturing. Just missed the tendon....lucky me. Triple Rye and Coke and 4 Extra strength Advils take the edge off. Just a question...anyone else have a blood thirsty Legacy? I look at her different now....and the stutter is gone. LOL:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacy2005 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 dam that sucks, sorry to hear that you cut yourself but hopefully you learned to pay attention when working on cars. there are many things on a car that can reach out and bite you. Work hard. Play even harder. My Garage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL:lol: :lol::lol: Yea the GT has taken a good bit of blood from me, but like I always say, if you arent bleeding when you are done an install, then you havent done it right at all Havent had to get stitches though, nice one http://www.illfindsomethingtoputhere.com/funforum/images/smilies/thumbup.gif JDM'd All to hell Thanks Jimmy @ Hkc-Speed.com!

Scooter Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 "Just a flesh wound!" Yikes, that sounds nasty!! My Miata has always been a bit of a vampire, but nothing serious like that - just the usual knucklebusters. Haven't really done much to the Subie yet, but I'll keep this in mind when I do! What kind of Rye? I travel to Toronto regularly, and have acquired a taste, myself... Seek first to understand, then to be understood. In other words: SEARCH before you post!

I hear you about hot nurses, I got a really hot X-ray tech a few years back when my knee was smashed playing in a hockey game. I was flying high on the pain killers and salivating over how hot she was. The best part was the X-ray table was quite low All I could talk about on the 2 hour bus ride home was how hot she was and how I needed to go back there JDM'd All to hell Thanks Jimmy @ Hkc-Speed.com!

jsalicru Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I think just about the only thing that has cut me in the Subarus is the DP heat shield. That thing REALLY sucks. "some say, his arms are made of coiled adamantium fibers. And that he tops his cereal with nuts and bolts. All we know is, he's called the Jose."

BlueBaru Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Sounds like it was totally worth it - as long as that #$*@! stutter goes away!!! I'd consider severing a limb to have this thing stop quivering... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnAWD Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Not on the legacy, but I was wrenching on my supra motor, on an engine stand, and ended up with this nasty little cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castor Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 Damn....looks like mine.... Mine runs verticle on the other side..... I think the ol vampire just need a sip to kill the stutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-2.5-GT Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 That sucks.. where in the airbox was this? I have to change mine again soon. I've done it once already, but don't remember anything like that. I just kind of popped the cover, took the old one out and slid the other in place. It was pretty tight, so i wasn't sticking my hand inside too much though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socalsleeper Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Well like I always say the car needs blood to run. If you don't bleed it is not going to run. Looks like you got a few projects worth of bleeding out of the way. No more thumb wrestling for a while I guess. http://forums.maxima.org/images/smilies/dblthumb2.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIZARD Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Castor, sorry to hear about your cut man. I forgot to tell you, the new K&Ns require you to use BLOOD now instead of oil when you install the filter.( ) I guess the new GT airbox takes that into account and "pre-bloods" the filter for you. No but seriously, at least you had a HOT triage nurse. I work alot in the ER at my hospital and most triage nurses aren't very hot.
