Stripped the rest of the paint off my initial failed paint job on my new Garage Vary lip. Sanded her down with some 600 grit, gonna do it real proper tomorrow. I will never trust the monkeys at Autozone again  Also coming in the next couple days: Megasquirt install (AFM removal, whoo!) along with timing belt/fluids/cam seals

Imperador do Brasil posted:Did the rear brake pads/rotors on the BMW, and the factory jack failed/broke/twisted itself to death while I was jacking it up to put a jackstand under it. The car rolled forward, nearly crushing my legs and my son who was watching from apparently too close. I've never had my legs get so dirty working on a car. It's truly amazing how much brake dust the drat thing gives off. Unfortunately, it took so much out of me to do this (my first mechanical job since my accident) that I didn't even have the energy or will to take it for a test drive.

 Replacing the OEM Pagids that squeal at all temperatures and speeds with some EBC Reds. Also unhappily found out that the backing plates are not machined correctly in the rear and the wear sensors don't fit, but for how much driving I do, I'm not terribly worried about it. Jacking up a car with this much rear weight bias still gives me the willies.

honda whisperer posted:What is happening with the jack? It looks like a slip over stool/stand. Yep, the jackpoints. They're super convenient in this case, you can jack the rear with the jackpoint, place a flat top stand under the front and repeat on the other side, lift the whole car in two jacks. Only downside is limited ground clearance, but I don't plan on pulling the motor myself if the need arises in this case. Also they're loving expensive, no way I would have paid retail but I grabbed a used set on Rennlist for relatively cheap. If you bought a full set you might as well just get a Quickjack at that point.
