After the last time I jacked my car up (with my 50 year old, made in Taiwan, floor jack) the jacked leaked and let the car down on my stack of concrete blocks & pieces of 4"x4" (my jack stands). So, for my birthday, mrs humfrz (bless her heart) bought me this set of jack stands and a floor jack set, rated for >12,000 lbs - Hell, I could jack up the house with that! Now, it came with a crawler thing (a nice padded one), but the problem is that I have to get down on the floor and roll my body onto it. Then when I try to push off, I get a leg cramp. So, I roll off and have to take some muscle relaxers, which brings on a nap. By that time, I had forgotten why I was going to jack up the car .. humfrz |

Now that the red accents have been removed, I can start adding blue. I got a bolt of blue silk to cover a few panels with on my car. Probably front & rear pillars and the headliner. We will see... Also, contacted the artist that painted my dash. I am going to have my splitter custom painted too!

I had quite a bit of brake fade on track last night. It went up in the air again and inspected the brakes, rotors & tires. The pads were glazed over. They were overheated but didn't appear melted. Cleaned them up. Cleaned things up in general and put it back together. Ordered another set of OE pads for now. Also, bled the brake fluid again. Can't hurt.
Now that I'm wearing a helmet I have to lower the seat or raise the ceiling. I've been reading up on lowering the seat and don't see any options. It may end up being a fixed seat for now. DIY time! The headliner is the only other option... |
