Biggest mistake I made was when I was lowering my car I had to take a torch to cut a siezed bolt on my lower control arm. I cut all the way through the bolt and accidently cut a hole in my CV boot. So not only did have to buy a lower control arm (which I was going to have to replace anyway) but I also now had to take out the whole halfshaft and disassemble the entire thing just to put on a new CV boot.

Another mistake that pissed me off was when I was changing my oil I took off my old filter and the rubber gasket that comes on it riped off the old filter and stuck to the engine itself and I didn't know it so I continued to install a new filter with its rubber gasket too making it 2 gaskets that was between the filter and engine. Needless to say I lost just about all my oil onto the garage floor in about 15 seconds. Did it again about a half a year later. I learned now that with Fram filters you always make sure the gasket is on the old filter and if it isn't then remove it from the contact point on the engine. Fucking Fram
