What did you do with your Z today VI (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

Went to a friends then on the way back i decided to go on a drive. Time melted as fast as my fuel gauge and I topped her up and got back.

I wish I had a more level garage then I'd get some chocks + jacks to learn how to change my own oil.

i use ramps for oil changes. is you garage slanted forward/aft? then should work just fine?

mishuko

well it's a bit weird.. i need to go out and get my dad's level and check how flush the ground is on the entirty. it's slanted downward toward the road enough that if i keep the clutch down or in neutral it will roll backwards when fully inside the garage... and then I'm at a crest of a hill too lol... I'm at a T-intersection and 2 parts of them go down a hill.

So correct me if i'm wrong... get race ramps, back the car up into the garage, put the ramps down, roll the car up the ramps, chock the wheels, dolly under and get'er done?

my biggest concern is getting crushed... or is this unfounded fear?

kenchan

no, you want to raise the front so why fight gravity? just drive up onto the ramp facing the garage
so that the rear is always lower. then chock the rear tire.

since you can fire up your ride out in the street vs in the garage, you
can get a pretty loud exhaust without waking people up inside the house...lol

Ah make sense... now time to look for some ramps+filters+oil+dolly... any reccomendations? (i es in canadia... toronto specifically lol)

On another note my mom was commenting how she heard me downshifting (okay SRM downshifting) while coming up the hill and she 'loves how it sounds and made a brr vROOOOM' so noise shouldn't be an issue.
