Default My idea of the perfect IS-F bolt-on!

Hello All!

I don't post here too often, as I don't often have anything that comes close to the cool stuff I see on here. In fact, my IS-F is typically relegated to daily driving, grocery getting and kid hauling duties. It's been awhile, but my car is probably most known for this:



Well, now I present to you my idea of the perfect IS-F bolt-on! Or maybe it's more of a bolt-in? Either way, I thought you guys would get a kick out of it. Here's a video of the install and some other shenanigans that I think you'll enjoy.
I don't have any exciting plans for the IS-F and the lift at the moment, other than the 20,000 mile service coming up, but I sure can get a good view of the exhaust manifolds now. Hopefully I can resist the urge to replace them with new, shiny, free-flowing bits



Thanks for reading/watching!

-Tom

Wow, that lift is surprisingly cheaper than I thought it would be! Looks like it only cost about $2,600 for a 10,000lb capacity lift? That's a relatively small investment which is sure to pay itself back in countless hours saved over a lifetime if you like to work on your own cars.

Looks good, that a nice setup

I have two lifts in my garage. It was one of the best things I ever did.
Yet......I still find myself working on the floor, on cars under the ones stuck on the lifts waiting for parts

Oh, and if the novelty ever wears off I have a pretty nice GVR4 for you

Very well said! Yes, that is the price with shipping.

Most of my co-workers and extended family view it as an exorbitant purchase, but as you get older and take on big projects it is a small but very worthwhile investment in the scheme of things. I used to lay on my back for hours late into the night dropping transmissions, etc. Now a few hours of that and I really feel it for the next couple days!

Thank you! Oh, I could totally see that happening! I'm trying to keep my hobby under control by only having one car tore apart at a time. I'll get back to ya on how that works out. Oh and regarding the Galant, please for the love of god don't tempt me!
