EDIT: Might possibly replace a dent on the HKS muffler, what should I expect to pay?

I'm going to ask Velocity and Alphawerx, whoever gives me the better deal gets the business come summer time.

wow! that's a big list!

also alphawerx is actually - Elite concepts now just FYI

Welcome

You are very close to me...and yes I do have a garage with the z currently sleeping in it

maybe we can work something out?

Not sure if I'll have all the proper tools though. Should be fine as I have ratchet sets and what not.

Only concern is jacking the car and jack stands. I have 2 but haven't jacked up this car before and from reading not 100% on the placement along the rails with the standard U shape jack head.

I probably have everything you do not currently have and can bring what ever is needed. I am a licensed electrician/handy man so I have more then enough tools and willing to help. If you have a jack and some stands we are good to go. I can bring my jack but currently my 4 car jack stands are under my Z

I have two other jack stands but they are larger for trucks/suvs. Plus I worry about twisting frame or warping sh!t I wouldn't need to get your car that high I always over worry about bending or warping even the the littlest things I am super anal about it and always lift the car slow! Now that I think of it, it would be better if I had two jacks then I could do both front sides at the same time! I also use and will bring thick industrial grade rubber almost like hockey pucks to act as a cover for the jack stands helps keep the babies pretty.

This is rubber that fits over the U shaped head? Very interested and seeing and learning.

Yep. Real hockey pucks. Not the cheap Chinese crap Walmart sells. Those will crack/split.

yes they will crack but the really cheap ones will break apart as soon as you put any weight on them. best bet is go to a source for sports store or another reputable hockey store like hockey life and buy "good" pucks they will last better

^^^^^ This.

LMBmikeZ · 02-13-2014, 11:24 AM

they are kinda like drill bits, knife blades etc, consumables they are only good for so many uses before you should just toss it and get new ones

zefaulter · 02-13-2014, 12:48 PM

talking about tools: anyone uses impact driver to change wheels/tires? will they damage anything?

I have an impact driver but never used on my 370 wheels.

I'm afraid it rattle and shakes that it might scuff the rims, I'd do it old school IMO.

I'm worried about the downward force it applies. I have a feeling that may strip threads.
