Sonny's Weak M10 Build

[Sonny]

My sense of accomplishment comes when I can diagnose and foresee a problem and then plan accordingly with a jack, jackstands and correct parts vs rolling my car up on a curb to get under it and then making due with parts from inside of a gas station. But don't get me wrong, I have definitely been there. I've made my old m10 work with a ghetto makeshift cord for an alt belt just to get to the nearest vatozone.

Also the reason why I have a jackstand and pretty full tool set in my trunk

I have all the mentioned at home of course and I don't trust a jack stand OEM that's why I went on the curb which one do you carry in your car?

Any idea how your line broke? This isn't something I thought of as a possible faliure point. Says the guy who's brake caliper fell off at 45 mph.

Fuel Hose was already rotting and cracking and I believe it might not be up to spec as it was very easy to pull off the fuel hardlines. They actually tore off with little effort from the fuel filter.

New fuel filter just installed! Tighten all fuel hoses. Ordered some thermal wrapping for the intake.

There is no oem jackstand. I use the one legged bandit (aka oem jack) and support with a jackstand if possible.

Yes autocorrect, sorry that's what I meant I don't trust it as some recommend a "quality" jack but I can't find examples small enough to fit. so just keep in rolling with the OEM and throw a jack stand in ? Sweet!

Did you velcro it?

Did you velcro it?

Yes , it's perfect! Home Depot about $20 everything. The extinguisher comes fired with a plastic bracket already so I out Velcro on its flat side.


Going to use springs to reinforce my fuel lines on there bends.


You only need one piece of that velcro. It comes in packs of 2, going to use the rest to Velcro my small basket of extra oil/antifreeze from sliding in the trunk.
