But does it woosh?

Oil change...love the fumoto! Job done in about 30 minutes and not a drop of oil spilled.

If you think that's bad my stock (lifted 4x4 stance) ride height Mustang was too low.

rofl. Pretty much how ramps seem to work out for most cars.

I remember my dad used to use them for all his oil changes and jobs not requiring taking the wheels off. He'd drive cars up forwards, backwards, whatever was needed. When I was 15 or 16 and doing my first oil change dad had me drive up on the ramps...holy crap that is a scary deal when you're first starting to drive! Used 'em for my second oil change, almost launched the car off the back side and said "Never again". I've been a jack and axle-stand guy my whole life since.

Finished painting the undercarriage on the '58 today. Did the inside of each fender, rear suspension and apparently the back side of my head. Guess I touched a fender with my hair! Also finished the wiring of the horn, which meant making and setting up "the carbon brush" on the steering column. Wish I had taken a photo to explain what it is, but it was 50's VW's solution to getting a wire up to a turning steering wheel.

I finished up some wiring on the Coupe Quattro turbo swap, and then started on the fuel and oil lines. Guess I forgot to order a few fittings, so that's on hold until Monday. Works fine for me, it's back to the '58 tomorrow!

Nothing really important but installed this:

Put on my Blox 490 knob that le gf got me. The weight makes such a world of difference, shifting has become effortless. Not feeling the height of the knob though, I predict a short shifter in the near future.

Also setup my boost gauge so I can monitor for leaks and such. Feels like a kid again watching the arm raise as you hit boost. Waiting until I can afford Oil Pressure and AFR wideband gauge before fabricating a pillar.

i have been doing alot of work to the DA, i have many small projects im working on and i do plan on another build thread. i have taken anti theft to a whole new level with this car and come up with some fun little things to make it my own.


im currently looking for a new set of wheels and tires.. as our dollar is so low compared to US im hoping to find someone local selling whistler kr1 in silver, 16x8+20

and interested in grabbing a 225/45 for them, might settle for a 215/45. i am aware of the 225/50s on here but 50 is for too tall unfortunately

EZ Oil Drain Valve - Home

They ship out of BC. I think PoCo or port moody.

yup check out the dealers: Dealer/ Distributor ? EZ Oil Drain Valve Canada Official Website

There you go, PoCo. I was going by memory from when I bought one. Installed it last oil change, so I'm waiting for the next change to actually test it out.
