6gc midwest guys: "Hey Chris, you home this weekend? I need to use your lift."
bloodMoney's Project V.3
I like how everyone ends up with the same lift at home, that or they just all have blue posts and yellow arms. 
Adopt me.
which lift did you get?

I was going to go with a bendpak, but they changed their stock color from blue to gunmetal, and that won't match my toolbox. When I called to see about changing back to blue, they wanted almost $1000 to do it.
So I ended up going with a Rotary Revolution, so that everything would match.
It is a China-made lift, but is is ALI certified, and backed by Rotary, so why not.

That ****'s expensive, but it looks nice though.
A buddy of mine uses a Universalift to store his wife's Supra and he got it for cheap. Their 2-posts lifts look pretty nice and their portable ones look pretty handy.

I'm really picky about colours, I have a preference for darker ones though so that makes it ok.

Well, It was kind of necessary... Plus, I'm not going to stand under a car that's not on a certified lift...

Did you just make a brown joke???

The benefit of white wheels?
You can spot when something is going wrong. I have no pics right now, but for whatever reason, I"m getting a significant rust buildup on the LR wheel. I need to get it in the air and see what's going on tonight.

So, the wheel issue turned out to be nothing. There are no leaks or an significant wear that I could find.
Unfortunately, I think the cluth took a s**t on me yesterday.
Was on the highway, in 3rd, decelerating for an exit ramp at about 2500rpm, when the revs suddenly dropped back down to idle. Clutched in to try another gear, but the clutch won't engage anymore. The weird thing is, there was no noise, nothing. Just dropped to idle, like I took it out of gear. I can still feel all the gates, and still have good pedal pressure/return, but no go.
Sat on the side of the highway for 3 hours before a truck showed up to bring me home. After that, I didn't even want to look at it. So, I'll start picking it apart tonight to figure it out. I hope it's something simple.

damn! 3 hours!! You could've fixed it on the side of the road by then.
Hope it's something simple too. Sorry bud.

No smart a$$ comment comes to mind. But at least you can put the 2 post to use.
The joys of owning older cars... at least it happened somewhere where you could pull over instead of getting stuck in traffic. Youll have to let me know how much of a nightmare the clutch job is.

I could've had the motor out by then.

Step 1: Remove Engine.

Well at least it happened on an exit ramp and not going down the interstate or going up the entrance ramp, so there's that I guess. Still totally sucks, might be the original clutch that just decided to give up on life.
Bunch of rust on a wheel can be an early sign of brakes hanging up on that corner, brake dust rusts pretty good on white wheels.
As for the clutch, it said '**** it I'm going back to Japan' and just left lol. Super weird there was no noise or roughness prior, unless something had already been stressed past elastic and into plastic and then just the slightest torque sheared it off like butter.

Removed the inspection cover yesterday. Didn't reveal anything except a lightweight flywheel.... No clue why they would put it on the back side of the flywheel, not really useful there.
So, I started pulling the left side of the car apart to get some visibility to the trans:

Got the starter out to take a look at the pressure plate/clutch, and it looks like it may have just been end of life on the current piece.

It's just weird because there wasn't any slipping prior to the failure. There was no noise either. I'm still thinking that it was the TO bearing that took a ****.
For the record, the current clutch is a Clutchmasters FX500 6 puck un-sprung unit, that the PO installed.
