ahhh nice deal... alot of people like the JEGS aluminum jack, its goes for around 150 for the 1.5 ton. I was just happy I found mine and it was a low profile jack.

ok installed the 10mm in the rear and they were way to far out and was basically on the fender and I dont feel like doing more fender pulling so i put the 5mm back on. Noticed that after I did my camber adjustments they were pretty flush and still gave me just enough space to not be on the fender so I'm sticking with them.
Up next for tomorrow is my ecu retune cable coming in and my differential! Dam UPS wont let me go pick them up at the station unless the sender calls and tells them I can request to pick it up, no wonder I like Fedex, plus i use to work for them. Can't wait, hopefully they'll deliver it early since the back package is kinda heavy. I'll hopefully have a chance to install it tomorrow or Wednesday morning and have a DIY posted on the differential

i got the borla pro xs muffler #40348. I was contemplating the borla spitfire muffler and just not doing duals with quad tips.
Second choice the borla spitfire oval.
heres a video of the spitfire on a E420 it sounds so SIIICCKK, soo mean sounding

agenda for the next month or by spring break:
1. Ecu retune (this week)
2. Differential install (this week or next week I'm off)
3. Change brake pads and fluids
4. Do my FX-R retrofit (procrastinating on it for awhile)
5. Maybe audio upgrade (still contemplating on it)
