Turn Signals Optional: Gberg’s M3

[Desertbreh]

Well a ton is 2240 lbs unless they use the fake americans tons. Either way its either 3000 or 3360lbs... which seems fine as you're only lifting up 1 wheel/side. But then again HF is not exactly quality stuff...

If I did replace it it'd be with either a 2 ton HF or Husky I'm going to assume they're using 'murican tons as the listing for the 2 ton says 4000 lbs.

They're probably all made in the same chinese factory anyway.

At a certain point you need to acknowledge that if you have the money for a BMW M3 you can probably suspend it in the air with something more substantial that the cheapest jack you can find. HF has it's purposes but I'm not sure car jacks are one of them.

$209 seems reasonable.

They have a lighter aluminum one for just $20 more dollhairs.

58 vs 78lbs... that's one heavy piece.

Yeah I have this and it’s quite ducking nice: https://www.harborfreight.com/3-ton-low ... ROEALw_wcB

Also similarly priced so likely quite similar but also comes in cool colors.

I was going to say just use the jack you have but when I realized mine has twice the alleged capacity than you’re talking… eh, maybe get a proper one. Too bad you’re not closer, I actually have two and would sell one on the cheap.

The HF daytona super duty is the same one snap on sells for $1k. The regular one you linked is fine for me but if I worked on my cars a lot the super duty has a 3 year warranty as opposed to 90 days on the other ones.

Looks like literally the same product to me... I think it's basically just a $100 warranty. I've had mine since we bought our house in 2019 and it's been great.

ALL JACKS ROOK SAME

Technically it’s my dad’s, but he can’t even walk or dress himself let alone wrench on Citroën’s anymore. You can probably have fo free, I’ll check with them. I think it’s a craftsman but rooks same.

[CaleDeRoo]

Oh ok yeah definitely check first before offering it.

Pretty sure they already asked me to take it I will confirm

M ppl. Any reason to not just do this single mid pipe and keep factory muffler?

https://www.vr-speed.com/vrsf-high-flow ... 2-s55.html

Seems cost effective. I dont hate the sound.

Factory muffler as in the rear axleback? If so, then it's really personal preference. I'm assuming F80 is pretty much the same as G80 when it comes to midpipe options with dual, single, and equal length.

I haven't heard any in person so

IMO the best thing to do with these cars is to keep the factory rear box and change the things Infront of it, so if you like the sound then there's no reason not to.
