ok, got my new driveshaft in, got the heat shield back in place, now i need to get my exsaust back in, it's freakin heavy! anyone have any idea's on how to heave it into place long enough to get it bolted onto the header and back into place?

put it on the hangers first.

cant lift it enough to get it on the hangers, i dont have much power to lift it while im layin on my back and it's above my head, lol

make some friends?

haha... there all at work or out of town and im impatient when my car isnt running

just don't do like me and drive with it off for 2 weeks...



can you say 2 exhaust tickets @ 75bux each..



thank god i'm going to get my exhaust put back on this weekend...

i was thinking about that but cops seem to peg me for any exsuast violation they can think of, i almost got ticketed for exsaust related things 5 times with the 510, imagine what kind of a target i make now in a convertable sports car being only 20

hook up the y-pipe oval hangers on first while having the mufflers laying on the ground. this should give you some leverage while hooking up the back.

jack

dont have a good one

blocks of wood

your spare tire jack? floor jack? firewood? bricks? boxes? This is a serious question right?

im usein the tire jack to raise the car, the floor jack i have is out of commition, and the bricks and stuff is a good idea, i'm gonna go out later and see what i can do, and yes this is a serious question

i got a 3.5 ton michelin floor jack at sams for like 60 bucks, some of the best money ive ever spent.

im a poor man, which is why i dont have many of the thing's i need and improvise ^_^ plus im getting ready to move and cant afford to spend $60 that i dont need to, but probably will once i get settled where im goin

you are working under a car without jack stands? you are a brave man. Maybe if hte ground clearence of an rx7 was 6 inches + I would tempt fate but not when ground clearence is less than your body.

dont have any in good condition, so i dont really have much choice if i want my car to be driveable https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/violin.gif and i almost alway's have a buddy to spot me to tell me when and if the car start's movein, i may be stupid but im not an idiot, https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/happy.png

dude. go buy jack stands, NOW.



Seriously.

i wont need them soon anyway so it'd be a waste of money, but i'll probably be getting a set for christmas

lift some weights

i lift quite a bit more then weight's https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/happy.png i have two engine core's in the garage i move around quite often, im the pack mule for anyone in my family that wants to move, etc. i could lift the rear end of my old car to about my knee's which i thought was pretty cool, at rock fest me and three other guy's actuly picked it up and carried it around a little bit, we had a crowd cheerin us on https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/happy.png
