In a way stoked, as now I get the rack I want, but not looking forward to changing racks in a swapped car.....
Safe to hold the engine up by the pan, jack and block of wood under the pan?
Spread the weight if you use the oil pan like you said with a piece of wood.

Looks like I am going to buy a engine crane. I know the other way is "ghetto", but seems most home repairs are done the "ghetto" way: on jack stands. ;-)

Found out I get about 13mpg on track days, including driving to and from. Carrying 3 tires on roof racks is also quite loud...and the car drives like a friggen SUV.Last edited by R3Z3N; 11-14-2012, 11:45 PM.

What is different about changing a rack in a swapped car? Either way the tabs on the subframe just bend down with a gentle pulling with a set of pliers and the rack just slides out without subframe removal or supporting the engine. Before you blast me as thats Ghetto its commonly accepted method for removal.

about to re-install vista on my comp. After 4 years feel slow now. Just taking forever putting all music on disk. So far im up to 6 dvd's (4.7gb's each) and maybe 3 togo. just music and pix...
Is it worth going windows 7 or keep it vista... I know vista is a bit slower but I can seem to find a legit site to DL 7 64bit to a dvd for install

Ill check out those torrents. Thanks. I know 7 runs fast on lower ram like xp. I will never go back to xp sorry, Just to old for me.
currently im running two gbs of ram and amd 64 single core ( not fast I know ) but its not worth going dual core since a newer better system will out perform what I have.
edit: im sure the OS 2000 me is wayyy worst. Ive been on comps since windows 95 was released

As to what is different, the pan is tighter in a swapped car. And no on bending metal....Not acceptable IMO. That weakens it incredibly.Last edited by R3Z3N; 11-15-2012, 01:18 AM.
