sorry to hear Min

Amanda has he taken the top off the brake fluid reservoir that will help release pressure

i'm not sure, i'll have to ask him when he wakes up

You have to squeeze the caliper pistons back into the caliper either using a proper tool, a G clamp or two screw drivers....

MIN, a baffle plate between the cat flanges will do the trick.

he tried the G clamp, it ended up getting bent (was pretty old though) so i had to buy him a new 1

but yeah my brother is gonna help him 2moro morning so hopefully they get it

On a sad note, i wont be attending Kellie's cruise :D Dont really feel like driving the car with a defect sticker on it.... i might tag along in someones car

:)

Dont be soft, if your allowed to drive it, drive it

true how long did they give your 24hrs or 48 hrs

Mark are you blowing off the cruise for that gig or you were only kidding

Dont be soft, if your allowed to drive it, drive it

EDIT

that was quick craig did you find anything out about that clutch you were telling me about

^ yeah, extreme heavy duty 5 puck cushion ceramic $320....

im going to hold off on it though, it seems to be going ok (as long as i dont drop it)

i need to focus on window tint/lowering/polish first for A.S.

Rim Question - if you had the choice between 18x8" +38 Model 5 copies, 18x8" +36 5 Spoke Rims, or 17x8" +42 buddy Club P1's in titanium silver - what would you choose? Each are within reach of my price range so really not sure...... I'd like 18's but the P1s are just so appealing...

What I think the P1s would look like:

What the 18" 5 spokes look like

Or AVS Model 5 copies (these are 17's, I would be looking at 18's)

    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
    • As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.
    • but any other area than the bulge you are talking about will just cave in then? The front driver side is pretty bent so I don't know if that will work the way it is now. I can still kinda make out where that bulge is/was but it looks like the position of it also changed due to all the mistreatment? Hard to tell
