Has sat outside for the entire time I’ve owned it. The uprights have cracked… which may be my fault considering I have used it on heavy loads on soft dirt.
I know this was 2 years ago, and there are probably updates made to these, but I scrolled through the video to get to the important pieces and every time I stopped it was like you were complaining. I understand you had your doubts and I fully respect that, and I’ll be making sure to check these same things with the y pipe I got, but the biggest thing I was keeping my eye out for was if there were any torque specs and what the driver ultimately felt about the upgrade.
I’m sure there were torque specs in the OEM service manual, I didn’t feel like looking them up. Laziness on my part lol. You do this stuff for long enough and you get to know the feel of when a steel bolt going into aluminum parts are “tight enough”. The reason I didn’t like the kit was because of the measurements and observations I made on the stock parts vs the “upgraded” parts. Bottom line, driver did not notice a significant difference between stock and the new parts, other than the boost leak being fixed, that we were ultimately after when we took it apart in the first place.
I had to replace my old jack from HF it stop working after 24 years or so. So I bought a new 3 ton Dayton about a month ago. First it's very heavy. 5 pumps I believe to fully extended at 23.5.
To be honest, I don’t think so, I took measurements of the Y pipe and it actually appeared to me a slight bit smaller than OEM. My buddy wanted it done because it looked cool, and we had to change the Y pipe gasket anyway because it blew out
You have grease fittings in the two front wheels too. You just noticed the ither two; makes me wonder why you bought this over the standard low jack by daytona or Pittsburgh? 3 tons is 3 tons
Going to pick one up tomorrow. I figured as long as you bought one I have to keep up and no, those dogs don't move. No matter how much you bang your head on the horn they just don't move.
You are never too old for a bad ass car. That’s awesome. Perrin strut bar is nice, keeps the front end nice and stiff. In NC the weather is mild this time of year, gets hot during the summer though.
Going to be doing the same on my 06 sti. That a perrin strut bar looks like it. Im 68 my be to old for my sti. Heat soak issue with tmi. Fmi would help in you live in any hot summer state. Im in ct so I'm ok. Idid replace the oem radiator after it had a crack with a koyorad which I prefer over the mishimoto. Car has 140,000 miles. I'll probably sell when I hit 70
precision instruments torque wrench. You over torqued those babies. 90 lbs is too high, but the lowest I torque to. YOu have alot more than that from the way you leaned on that wrench. Most offshore vehicles are 65 to 80 foot lbs. Most north american vehicles that use 12 mm threads, or use a 3/4 socket are around the 110 mark, and 14mm ( 7/8 ) will be 140 foot lbs.
@@RedRocketC6 I have a tire shop and use mine on about 20 tires per day , so about 100 times per day or more. check it against one new in the box every year. dead on. and it is about 6 or 8 years old. do about 5000 tires per year.. so at 5 or 6 nuts per wheel.. alot. have one in 3/4 and 1 inch for heavy trucks.
