2 jackstands, changing exhuast, rubber hangers
Just very time consuming


But worth saving every cent that we would have to pay someone else to rip us off.

 

I have a shop here that has extremely reasonable prices, very good, and has corner balancing, alignment... everything. They usually work on amateur racing cars, but let in some regular cars. There's almost no reason for me to work on my own car.

 

WD40 is your friend

 

I'm in the military, and we have autocraft shops on most military installations. All the lifts and tools I need.

 

preach pope!

 

LOLOL me and my buddy (nofeardude87) were working on my exhaust yesterday and we also hate the goddamn hangers.

 

yea working under the Z is a ***** i had it on two jacks and i still felt like it was to low and close to my face.. i kept getting a feeling it was going to just drop on me. now i just take it to some shop around my house

 

Buy a set of rhino ramps. Best investment i ever made!!!

 

^ Agreed.

 

I feel your pain brother, and WD40 is definately a must for the rubber hangers

 

yeah something about the z, feels very scary while working under it, ive been under many honda's and 240's and wasnt a problem, z is damn scary

 

I have to tell you. If your like myself and will be under cars for the rest of your life, (get it from my dad) you need to buy a lift. Little bit of money compared to what you'll spend in the future. Especially if your into FI and all the goodies. For I find myself under the car all the time, just for checking everything out and all.

Just to give an idea. We spent $1800 on ours and that was a four point lift that you drive up on. Up to 7500lbs. can be supported with the one we bought. That price includes the lift, drip pans, jacking tray, wheel chocks, shipping and wheels to lower the lift onto to move around if needed. We just poured a pad for ours. Weather proof and everything. Hooks up to either 120 or 240 volts. Small price to pay in the long run.

 

lithium is 4x better than wd40 on those hangers. Next use that and tell me how faster you get them off. Also, for some reason, bolts on the z are like rusted on. So penatrating grease is your friend as well.

 

i wish i knew how to work under my car

 

lucky ***

 

It's the least they can do for all the BS we have to put up with.

 

qft...

^damn i miss the on base auto body shops. lol

 

Yeah, i prob miss that more then anything. Esp the one at ***, which was new when i was in.

 

I'm on a really small post and we still have one. It may be small and cruddy, but it gets the job done.
