weight distribution, air flow trough radiators, exhaust routing which enables a better wet sump design

btw, couple of nice details... cooling fins on the external damper reservoars, super high damper top mounts... really cool air intake...

I talked to Gilles Panizzi once, spoke a bit about the mitsubishi project.... we was fuming... apparently mitsubishi just pulled the financing quite early.. never developed the car properly..

Thanks you to those who still love the platform and continue to develop parts and fine way to make it better.

ECU Payment made! Since the winter sale also means a little wait for it, I'll have some time to knock out other projects. Of which I have A LOT

I too have lots of stuff to button up on the car including your rear uprights. Not to mention the stuff I wana do on the E3. But I think before I get back to wrenching I need to give the garage itself some love. I need a new slab poured, and if I'm going to do that I'm going to get it done thick enough to support a lift. Also need to insulate and drywall it and add some outlets. Only 1 outlet in the whole damn garage... And now that the wife is working (got her dream job as an OR Nurse), hopefully the money to fund these things can slowly start coming back.

You made me realize how lucky I am to have all that done. Sometimes I get so focused on new stuff, I fail to remember and appreciate what I have.

You only need footings for a lift. No need for the whole slab to be full thickness (usually 6.5") for the lift.

I forget the brand but there is a "short post" lift that is mobile. So I intend to drill holes in multiple locations depending on my needs for the garage at any given time. Need that flexibility with a puny 2car garage and 2 cars to play with. Plus there is a sizeable loft above the garage and I'd like to vault the ceilings for extra height so I may need to add beams down to the concrete to support that.

Yes, I want and need that. Getting too old to crawl around under cars anymore.

Same. I can sit under the car with a short, roll-around stool. One of the best investments I've ever made.

how much was it and what was the install process like? climbs high enough to get a (small) car under there?

While that is a good idea, you'll have the studs/anchors sticking out of the ground everywhere you want to be able to put the lift, so keep that in mind.

If you can vault the ceilings and get a full height lift, I would go that route.

If you're going to pour a concrete pad anyways for whatever reason, might as well pour it thicker. Otherwise yea just cut 2ft squares in the existing pad and pour thicker concrete what the jack is going. I had mine poured while my house was being built and got a 6inch 8000psi concrete pad poured and it cost me an extra $1500 over the normal pad thickness..... pretty cheap overall.
