Jim has a garage with a lift we have been friends for over 20 yrs. I am love'n the lift !!
No sorry no links, but I did bring Duncan Donuts for breakfast this morning to the shop. Now that I think about it ....that's probably why we need the lift, haha oooo

^Lucky! I get tired of jacking my car up everytime. I have to use the one provided by Honda to even get under the front. The pump jack won't fit under.

How do you guys jack your fit from the front? i was able to place my floor jack under the rad support after ripping out the underbody guard, (which cost me 2 fenders), but when i tried to jack i saw the metal bend a little so i stopped immediatly...

I drive over some 2x4s and jack my car from the recommended location (behind the tire, under the front of the door). I also have a low profile floor jack, so that can almost fit without the 2x4s.

I hear Al Pacinos voice " Just when I think I got out, They PULL ME BACK IN !!!!!!" I just knew you were incurable my friend. I use ramps, but they are too steep for my drop, so I have scrap 2x4s that I drive up on first. Otherwise, my big azz shop jack goes into the front jack point no problemo.

Well folks, to tell you the truth I am always interested in seeing how other GD owners are enjoying their cars and wouldn't spend the time I do on Fit Freak if I didn't... I only go to threads that are of interest to me and ignore the ones that aren't..... It is called exercising your freedom of choice, like not eating food you don't like or preferring fat bottom women to skinny ones.

Ooh. Getting a little hot in here.

Back to topic:
Discovered that Aibo's due for an oil change. I used FK/Massimo Super SS-X on my last change four months ago. As good as it is, it's still just mineral oil, and I've been logging a lot of kilometers on road trips. I might go back to using Royal Purple again or experiment with a full-synthetic Motul.

I'll probably need a change of spark plugs, MTF and clutch fluid while I'm at it...
