Anyone recommend a good low profile floor jack that leaves room to lift low cars? My 1.5 ton HF is too short/tall to use under my LS430, it fits under there but I can't move the handle enough to do squat. I'd probably be better off with a 2 or 3 ton anyway.

HF has a low profile steel jack that has really good reach

The leak on the PT appears to be the pressure line. New part is $40 but gently caress that I'm gonna grab a used one at the JY. Should be like $5. Repair appears to be doable without dropping the engine as well. Gonna get this bitch rolling.

So the civic is getting expired tabs tickets literally every other day. I cant renew them until my license is valid. I cant get that restored until I pay off all the tickets. The close outdoor storage places all require a car be running and fully tabbed and Insured to store for.a month plus, and the one that didn't require that starts at $300/mo just for an unsecured spot in their lot

loving let it go dude, it's going to take every last penny from you

Why does the state of your license have anything to do with the tags on the car? Is that a Washington thing? In TX, you can register, tag, and inspect a car without a license required, as far as I know. Maybe I'm wrong - I've never had an expired or revoked driver's license.

yeah its a Washington thing, you have to have a valid drivers license to register a car to stop illegals. if you're caught parking on the street with tabs that are 6 months or more expired they can impound your car!

one easy fix is to just loving stop hanging onto a piece of poo poo car that isn't helping your situation

well im still being forced to take a job (unless i want to be fired) that's 26 miles each way, 45 m in the morning driving, 60-90m to drive home.

Or i can take the bus which requires driving to a park and ride, and transferring busses half way there, 60 min each way on the bus.

of course i'm not going to be compensated any extra for losing 5 hours a week of free time

I think it's kinda lovely, tbh, to laugh at a guy who is concerned with the conditions of his day to day subsistence commute, and to do so by posting about an extreme nutter who does it as a hobby and a lifestyle.

You wouldn't mock an average joe who is fretting about being able to get to work because the beater car he can barely afford just blew its head gasket, laughing and pointing out that there are guys who build thousand horsepower V8 swaps into that same car, all in a weekend!

Or are you that kind of rear end in a top hat? :crossarms:

So I have a potential buyer for my e30 track car but he wants to put money down on it to hold it till he has money for it in a couple of weeks. I would never consider a payment plan but a contract with a non refundable deposit seems low risk to me

Oh yeah, used all the way. I've been noting Evo X prices and 2008-10's have tumbled. I'm halfway hoping the '14's will also start to drop over the next year. $25K isn't impossible but I just need to be certain that I need that much car.

just go test drive everything that's remotely interesting in the 20-25k bracket

Also what are good pads and rotors for a daily driver? I'm going to try my hand at replacing my rear set on my own for the first time :angel:

i went with akebono ceramic for my e46 and i love how much less dust they put off than metallic pads

rotors don't really matter that much

Dream home stuff that we don't really need. In reality should just get rid of that category and keep it as simple as possible. The less options and extras we put on there the less non-ideal houses we'll have to weed out.

edit: what the hell is it with people not correctly or even bothering to fill out the parking spaces section. Discovered I can view only homes with 3+, 4+ etc on redfin but I'd guess 1/4 of the houses are wrong

yeah a lot of these new "hatchbacks' are really low on extra space, especially compared to sedans with fold down rear seats.

I'm thinking of hosting a garage sale where the bike is the only thing for sale at full retail. Creepy garage sale hoarders come out, they have to buy it because they are obsessed with buying things, chisel me down to 50% of my "price", boom, sold.
