All that gear you posted looks awesome, man. I have a similar floor jack that I got from harbor freight with rapid pump, works nicely.

The husky stuff I'm not too familiar with but I'd give it a shot if I didn't already piece together a tool set from Kobalt and Craftsman. If I'm not mistaken you got that at Home Depot? It says guaranteed forever, as long as they honor that you should be good.

Haha that's great, I'm getting back into the computer world so I can do something with my downtime. But between my girl and I we have ordered a desk, a hutch for the desk, and a computer that all have different arrival dates in the span of a week. Sorry, UPS. :rolleyes:

I have the computer part figured out, I'm on it all day. Its the time portion that I need. I've had a single turbo kit in the f'ing garage for two months, lmao.

It's going on the window behind the driver door so not going up and down. Winter is a thing that happens here so ice scrapers are sticker killers. I still don't know what I'm gonna do with it... We will see when it arrives

You could have had them cut the vinyl in reverse so sticky side is forward facing. This is common for interior placement

Wiping down the interior. My kids don't know how to keep their dirt to themselves.

Sourced some pure ethanol (e99) and loaded the MHD e40 map. One 20L jerry can of e99 with 40L of 94 pump fuel (e10) gives exactly 40% ethanol and an octane rating greater than 100.

Soon, all that mixing nonsense will be a past time for flash users when flex fuel comes out.

Yeah, can't wait for that, but I'm just happy to have found a source for ethanol. Until last summer there was 1 station that carried e85, and they stopped carrying it. The guys I bought the e99 from said I'm the first non-commercial account to ever purchase it. The e99 is an added bonus because it's not blended with regular 87 like e85.

Really looking forward to flex fuel but the e99 works out well for now with one jerry can to a tank of pump gas to give e40 exactly. Now I just need to install the YCW coilovers (if the neoprene covers ever arrive; I've only been waiting since last August) and new wheels and rubber (Apex SM-10 which will arrive in May and Contintental ExtremeContact Sport tires) to be able to put the power down.
