Fair enough.

I'm the type that concentrates on the tiniest of things. I believe it's the little things that count. It doesn't take much effort to load the suspension. I know a lot of people do not perform their own work, but even here in BFE I'm sure I could find someone to do this the "most best way". If a dumbass like me can do this in the garage, on jackstands, it's very doable.

It's not meant as a personal attack but this is the tech section and your responses were a bit pointed and without explanation. Some of us like to know why, not how. You've got a relatively quick car but it doesn't make you an authority, especially with your demeaning attitude. If I'm the only one that gets this feeling from reading your posts, my apologies. Food for thought

 

Nah don't apologize. Im just a ***** many can vouch for that. Im a ***** because I just tell it like it is. I don't give a $hit who's gonna get mad at me for saying what I wanna say. "Having a fast car doesn't give me authority" For what giving advice? I get plenty of emails and PM's everyday from people asking for my help so I must say something intresting I know what works best for me, for the times I pull I must be doing SOMETHING right. Some people in many cases usually only want to hear from someone that produces good results. Example: I only like to take advice from people like Jordon Musser, Taner, Brady etc and other people that are producing good results at the track! I can see the times they pull so THEY must be doing something right as well. That's the way I look at it

Im with you in the way that I don't know HOW to do things the wrong way. But in this situation Im not saying that loading the suspension is BAD, I feel that it's not 100% ABSOLUTELY necessary to load the suspension that's all..

 

10.14??? Hey thats quick! to say the least.... ....... but I was just wondering how much quicker your car would be if you'd of loaded the suspension when you put the sub frame connectors on???? .......... just kidding ya.....

ps.... actually it would probably depend on the particual situation to determain if there was a difference between welding it loaded verses un loaded. Myself I used to be a pretty good welder when LOADED.....

 

Well judging by what you guys are saying $hit I would probably gain like a full second

 

Just watch out for them fuel lines...don't want you car to end up like mine! On Fire!! Make sure you have a fire extengiusher close by!! Minekie did one of my (only had one left to be installed) for $20...they did a good job!

 

well its been said in this post b4, if you put the car on 4 cinder blocks i dont see what the diff would be than it sitting on the street. you might try four ramps too, same thing. that is if you have four of them.

 

driving a car up on four ramps? That sounds like fun.

 

drive it up on the front and then jack the rear up and put them under

 

at least some1 has a brain, jk. actually my ramps were too tall to drive up on them. i had to put the front wheels of my car on the edge of the driveway and then slide the ramps up under the front of the tires and then i could drive up them. and yeah you would have to jack up the back in ANY way you do this.

 

if ramps are too big try putting slates of wood in front so those lift ur front end before u get to the ramp

 

i did that, only i had a HUGE brain fart when i did it, i used 2X4's and broke the sob's, luckily i was up far enuff that i didnt hurt anything. i used 4X4 next time i did.

 

Ok WHAT???

If you cant drive up the ramp cause your bumper hit it, lay a peice of 2x6 (or 2x4) flat and drive up on them first.

 

did you miss the part where i said that i tried the 2X4 and it BROKE? or i can ensure not breaking any boards or damaging my Z when i had it, and just do like i did most of the time and use the curb at the end of the driveway. think b4 you speak

 

You broke a 2x4 lieing flat on the ground so you could drive onto it, and then onto your ramps.....

I find that hard to belive, did you use balsa wood? I run over 2x4 all the time in a 45000 lb forklift and it just makes it dirty untill I run over it a whole lot.

even if it did break so you fall less then 1.5" (as a 2x4 is only 1.5" thick, and if it broke ) there would still be splinters, so you would drop an inch....

 

HAHAH you tell him
