I Love My WRX Sound [ May 24th, 2010 ] By: Charles Smith Posted in » Videos

I rode in a friend’s Ferrari (1978 308) recently and while I love how it sounds… I often can not get enough of the turbocharged sound. So if you love the sound of turbochargers doing work here you go:

Link for you RSS peeps.

It may be an older video of ours, but I love it and cannot get enough.

Update: Apparently I decided to post this exactly two years after uploading it to YouTube. Odd.

How To Put Your Car On Jackstands [ May 28th, 2008 ] By:Charles Smith

What You Will Need

  • Jackstands
  • Jack (either for your car or a general jack)

Putting Your Car on Jackstands

  1. Put your car in gear (or park for autos) and make sure the parking brake is on.
  2. Find a jackpoint on the car’s frame. It will be metal and solid, not flimsy.
  3. Start jacking up your car from that point.
  4. Slide the jackstand under the frame (not plastic!!!) or jackpoint.
  5. Drop the jack to lower your car onto the jackstand.
  6. Remove the jack from under the car.
  7. Repeat on the other side of the car (LEFT-RIGHT, not front-back).

Put the car up on jackstands on both sides of the car (left and right) as it is safer. If you are going to be taking wheels off, break the lugnuts loose before you jack up the car.

Why Put Your Car On Jackstands?

Because it is the only safe way to work under your car. Never work under your car when it is only supported by jacks, they go down as well as they go up! If you have a hydraulic lift…I am jealous and you should be using that (also can we use that?)
