So, I picked up this jack. it’s not as tall as I wanted but it’s going to be safer than the 10 year old leaky one I’ve been using. It’s also alum so much lighter.
It is a harbor freight jack but it’s really nice.
This past week I also managed to swap my pulse board. I have a few tips for people attempting this.
-take the whole cowl off.
-unbolt both wiper mounts (The passenger may not be necessary but it does help with moving things.)
-pop out the motor to pass linkage. It’s a ball that snaps into a socket. The passenger side is easy to get to the motor however isn’t until you pull it out
-Be mindful of the hard plastic wiper fluid lines as they do break. I replaced mine a long time ago with rubber vacuum lines and plastic tees.
– When reinstalling make sure the ball joint pops all the way in. Mine sounded like it popped in but really didn’t. It wiped a few times then popped off :-\ I had to take it all back apart and do it again.
My contortion before i realized the ball joints popped off.
Old pulse board:
Also decided to ditch them stupid wings attached to the wiper arms. I still want to convert them to the 98+ arms but this will do for now.
Since the carport was wet from the rain I didn’t get to the transmission pulled. The clutch cylinder is leaking pretty good. Some mornings I can feel it pour out and the pedal becomes nearly stuck on the floor. Next weekend looks to be dry and cool. With all luck I’ll have that fixed then.
But this weekend I managed to build what I hope to be the final, final, final sub box. I change boxes about every couple years and I’m just about ready to stop doing it.
This particular box I think will be perfect. First its back where it needs to be, in the trunk. acoustically its perfect and visually it works the best to keep it hidden and out of the sun.
I’m going to make mounts for the tops to lay in over the sub. Once I can get the box mounted, I’ll start designing the mounts for the tops and then it’ll be done, hopefully, for the last time.
1.02 cu ft …. Check!
Cut to fit the car…. Check!
Second woofer is staying where it is. this box i accidentally left room for the amps on each side.
Handles for easy lift lol
Hole cut
It’s sanded smooth and time for paint. I’m probably going to cover the faces of both boxes with a carpet to match the trunk
Currently, my setup looks like this. So much space waiting to be filled.
