Wonder if there would be enough space wit...

Re: Jack placement rear pad C4S

Thanks prf. My knees are still barking from Tuesday. That's pretty much how I do it sans the plywood disks. I've used hockey pucks which are a little scary if not centered as they distort. My latest is the tophat I got for my Type R with the 1/4" rubber disc from JackPoint. The extra height of ...

Jack placement rear pad C4S

So I use the JackPoint jack stands and have one hell of a time hitting the center of the car's jacking pad. The 4S has the lower plastic sill covers that make it pretty much impossible to see the pad before lifting. Yeah there is the arrow on the sill cover so north to south is not much of an issue,...

Herr 5CHN3LL it is very nice of you to provide warmth for your outdoor feline friends.

Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com

I know you know this but if you pick up something through the sidewall the goop and plug kit ain't gonna help. I'm just sayin'. One of the first things I bought for the Type R was a spare tire kit. Given the 20" wheels and the rubber-band sidewalls it was a disaster waiting to happen. Don’t tel...
