    Turbo plans cancelled: car fell off lift :*(.

    So I finally got all the parts ordered for my turbo, so I brought my car over to the shop to have them start doing preliminary fitting and such for the turbo manifold (I got the JGSTools manifold, which still requires welding the T3 and wastegate flange on). We also had to figure out if it's possible to run a 3" downpipe since it's a tight fit. Anyway, we got the car up on the lift when one of the pinch welds (where the jack points are) suddenly bent and shifted the car's weight. I guess the safety locks on the lift didn't engage, but it dropped the drivers side down and the car tilted to the side, then backwards off the lift smashing into one of the four Dynopacks in the shop. I am so upset by the turn of events. As usual, I had my camera with me (24/7) and took pics of the whole mess. I'll find out what's going on from the insurance company later today. Here's the pics:

    I just turned off the flash on my camera and had it take a longer exposure to get the tracer effect.

    Actually no, I don't. I kept that one secret on purpose at the time and only made them for my friends that I partied with.
