You need a lift to put endlinks on?

 

Short answer - no.

Long answer...

It's best to install adjustable endlinks while the car is planted on it's wheels without sagging suspension (car on jack stands). I want to be able to get the length of the endlinks correct while the car is sitting as it would be on the ground. Only way to do that is on a lift - one that lifts from under tires.

 

I really want to do this, but I'm still waiting to hear which days I'll be working out of town. Boss man doesn't know, so my plans are all in limbo.

 

go get some ramps......

 

I would, but the incline of my driveway wouldn't allow it. They would have to be some pretty long ramps with the right angle to get a lowered Z on them.

edit: I've thought about just jacking the car up and pushing a ramp under each wheel and setting it down on them. They would have to be tall enough ramps to get me under the car with decent working room though.

 

yeah that sucks then....i was actually going to suggest that

 

Travis,

I don't want to speak for the others, but I haven't shot that Trap course....and from what I have heard....it is pretty hard to hit some of those stations and you have to change out your chokes between some stations.....If this is the course I'm thinking of ???

In any case that is a good chunk of change.

So what I would prefer to do is get us all together and just shoot a couple of rounds of Skeet....since it is fairly easy and only $ 8.50 per round. so for 2 boxes of shells and the cost of the skeet range it would probably be $ 35-$40 bucks.

I will be out of town until the 9th so if enough of you are interested then we can start a thread in the TX meets section.
But I would go with whatever the majority wants to do. Any shooting is fun....even if you hit AIR ! Lol

 

it was challenging but not too hard, i hit about half. i didnt change chokes on my gun (and dont know how to) but yeah i guess it is kinda pricey. when you say skeet are you talking about the one where you have the high trap and the low trap and you go around the half moon.... or the practice trap where they all fly straight out in front of you. if you buy shells there, it is $10 vs $5 at academy, just make sure you get the right stuff so you dont get in trouble... and you can rent guns also if us that have extras dont have enough to cover everyone that wants to go

 

I think I'm goin 6mt next wknd.

 

your auto right now arent ya?\

how hard is the swap

 

Yup 5at ATM. Swap tranny, engine harness, driveshaft, ebrake cable,
Install pedal, lines and some wiring. Should
Be fun. Found a good deal on a carbonetics twin disc

 

Yes Travis....The Skeet range is the 1/2 circle pads with 8 stations and a low house & High house....on a few of them they shoot doubles from both instead of one at a time.

You should have a Choke wrench with your gun in the box ??? Or if you don't then you just unscrew it from the end of the barrel. Usually for skeet you will have a Skeet choke or Modified in. If you have an O/U shotgun then some people put one in the top and another in the bottom.....since usually the farther bird needs a tighter choke since it is traveling away from you.

But still....either way I'm in for it.

 

What's a shotgun?

 

did not know that..... i would prob hit more if i did huh....going to academy after work now

where do they go?

 

cam sensor failure - i checked it with the manual and everything i found said the switch was bad no matter which way i checked it -

I tried to do some fineggled magnettic tests too to see if i could get any resistance or anything to change at all - and no matter what nothing happened and i always had the same readings - so pfft i decided to buy a new sensor -

poof code gone never came back car runs great again - - thanks for asking

can't wait to see some pics from the drift/autocross ( hint hint lol )

 

^Was it cam or crank sensor?

 

yeah it was a friend hookup - i simply didn't have the strenth/impact wrench to break my bolts loose by myself - and my buddy just popped it on the lift and away we went - took like 30 min to replace the lower bushings -

We used the alighment machine lift - it has a lift in the middle of the lift.... its awesome - so you can drive up on the lift, and lift the car but then lift it in the air .... off the lift it was already lifted on - i didn't know it was best to put the end links on with the car on the ground - that sounds complicated lol

I can ask - but it would be in plano - and it would have to be after 5pm - but i hate to wear out favors - i have to push in bushings on the rear of the Subaru this month too

 

chris,

well come to find out my shotguns have the choke built in the barrel.. they are improved cylinder so i at 57% i think i read... they are from the early 80's since they were dads

and new barrels are just as much as a new gun....

 

No dude don't worry about it. I was just curious. I'll figure something out.
