Lol you can get a Craftsman tool set like I have for 70 bucks at Christmas, plus a jack and jack stands for 40-50 bucks on sell. 20 dollar hanes manual and you can do brakes. It's not that hard just takes time and you have to do it right. Or you die XD.

Yea no pressure Gabe but seriously you can do whatever you put your mind too, I started doing brakes when I was 12 and let me tell you I've learned a lot in my 17 years man. Mr. Booby you asked me ages ago about 10w30 right? Heres you're answer. I know 10w30 will not flow as fast but oil pressure is important too and my car seems to take a split second longer for the dummy light to go on on 10w30 HM but it goes right out not flickering out which I think means more pressure.

So I got me a le speeding ticket last month. Costed me 300 bucks or so, no points, nothing on my record but that was money for the car. But look in the trunk I got a present for myself even though I had the ticket. As a matter of fact I got two XD. They've been on the car for about 2 months but you guys will have to wait
Keep in mind all my pictures are delayed but about a month at this stage.

The jack was supposed to be $100 but it was on sale for $60 picked it up. Works ok so far. However is sinks after being put up loaded or unloaded. So I'll look into either getting air out, topping off the fluid or replacing it with sears great warranty. It might still be on sale but I couldn't recommend because it sinks.

Here's the jack I bought because I needed a low-profile one. It works great and can get really low cars:

So I start with some rims. They came off an IS300 17x7 50mm offset. Next up is the engine its a long story but I'm swapping in a healthy 1mz and it's getting some love(hp) before I put it in. You guys need to set tight because this old Thread is about to get more interesting.
