How did you go about getting her up on all 4 corners safely? I have thought about doing this, but am a little afraid in case she falls over whilst lifting one end/side

Post by **Thebusofwoe** » Sun Jun 09, 2013 10:08 am

Well i did think that before i jacked her up. I had to get a high lift jack from my work to do it tho. I jacked the front up first and set it on its highest settings. I figured if i did the front first the weight wouldn't allow it to slip much on the axel stands when i jacked up the rear

. Then jack the rear up, just be careful that the jack moves as it goes up and NOT the car. I then had to reset the stands yesterday as it moved a little as it settled.

Oh and didn't jack the sides, only the front and rear points. As long as the ground is fairly level (unlike mine

) You shouldn't have a problem.

Hi guys

.

Well Not really an update as such but did get a few parts ticked off the list of things. . . . . . .

SPARCO MONTECARLO Leather x2

AND . . . .ALL free of charge

. I know they say off road and the licence ran out in 1998 lol

But hey, free jobby is good jobby. Need a little tlc but fit me perfectly, leather is ok and frames are not broken anywhere

Plus 2, 4 point harness's which are basic, but hardly used.
Think im going to make my own rails as am pretty good with mr welder and have a load of metal.

Also started pulling the motor out,

Nice hole and more oil leaks

Cheers

Am I the only member without a dedicated track 'Lude?! But then, there's not much point for me considering there are no race tracks in Cornwall ..and my street 'Lude doesn't have a tow hitch.

TBOW, your tracker is looking good mate, well done

Yea thanks chaps.

I do agree the cost side of things can be a PITA but this is a budget track car, not going mental chasing hp. Just stock a2 with a tune will be good for me

. Just going to work more on the handling side of things
