Uppipe Help

Anyone around the southside that could give me a hand tonight with finishing my up-pipe? All the nuts are already removed except for the very front one. I need help with the jacking up the motor part. I can pay in beer or pizza. If anyone can lend a hand shoot me a pm. I would guess this wouldn't take more than a half hour. Thanks guys.

 

Ill over in that area tonight P3tis if you want me to lend a hand.

 

not real sure what you are talking about, but I could possibly come help you... let me know if you need me to come help

 

I just need someone to help me jack up the engine. I've never undone a motor mount and jacked it up before. I don't feel comfortable doing it and am hoping to find someone that has done this before. I have a jack and tools and everything necessary to do it.

 

I'm in burnsville for those that don't know me.

 

I never actually did it, but I did watch wrxboy2003 do it on my car, I feel confident in how to do it...

 

What time you lookin? I'm in shaktown

 

I'll be home from work around 645-7pm.

 

ROFL

i just got an image of you two girls trying to work on a car. :emo:

 

just be careful. having a motor drop, even if it's only a couple inches isn't fun.....

If you need help I can give you step-by-step intructions over the phone.....I can do them with my eyes closed nowadays

PM if needed for contact info....

 

if you really need help i might eb able to help ya. i have taken off motor mounts before and jacked up my motor. its incredibly easy. you remove the 2 nuts on each motor mount, put the jack under the motor (w/ somethign to prevent oil pan death) and let er rip. to re assemble use reverse process. it make take some persuading to make the mount bolts line back up with the holes int eh x-member.

 

zomg you beat me to it, lol. :biggrin:

 

Hey now don't hate just cuz Dreamis doesn't know how to use tools.

 

that's funny justin....considering you had issues taking off a simple manifold.....

 

hey ..maybe if some punk would cut a slit in his heatshield for his o2 sensor

 

zing!

 

I'm definitely hacking my heatshields b4 it goes back on. EZ manifold access ftw.

 

ha ha that's fair:biggrin:

 

Its good to know i'm not the only person thats endured the pain and suffering of removing an exhaust manifold with no cuts in the heatshield.

 

yes i'm here with you pete....and the car was up on the dyno while trying to do it with 5 people standing around waiting.

 

I have a fancy/shiny O2 sensor remover so it's never been a problem for me. i've been lucky so far

 

It was a bee0tch even with the offset o2 sensor puller Brian let me borrow.

 

^^^ That stinks. Mine is a socket, and it has just enough room to get in there with an extension. makes it easy.

If for whatever reason you need to borrow it just let me know

 

o2 sensor is rock n roll and with the cut heat shields should be a piece of cake to put back on.

 

Thanks for swinging by Dan!! Your help is appreciated!

 

You fools be crazy. I can take downpipe off, and it doesnt take me a month to do it! Heatshields WHAT?? :biggrin:

 

Having the right tools helps sometimes

 

dream in for the slight rip...niiiice

 

Yeah Dream tried to help one nite with the manifold and all he did was get retarded and bust a FULL bottle of beer on the floor of my garage :laugh:

Thats alcohol abuse where I come from.

 

Its kind of hard to work in the closet you call a garage, and I came over to drink, not watch you struggle with your manifold. :eek3: :laugh:

 

Yeah thats true, Jason was actually gonna help cuz I dunno if I wanted you touching anything on my car anyways :laugh:

 

I thought you told me you didnt want Jason touching your car? :hsugh: Now its me! Pete, are you two faced??? :eek3:

 

False. Jason offered to lend a hand with the o2, you were just along for the ride..lol.
