Sean,
My god, that looks like a torture device! Seriously, which part of the wood did you use to jack up the body?
So in between the neighborhood rug rats coming for candy (nobody says "trick or treat" anymore---entitled shits except my neighbor's kids), I got a little work done. I removed the nuts from all body mounts except the ones near the engine, the side bumper flares, the stone guards, and the top plastic bumper piece. I didn't remove the bumper just yet because I wanted to see if I could remove the rear body mount without removing the bumper. i don't think it's gonna be possible because there's very little hand space to remove those 14mm M8 bolts that sit on the bump stop plate (x2 bolts). So I called it a night and the plan for tomorrow is to do remove the rear bumper (only 4 bolts holding it on right now) and then try jacking up from the side with my Type R body seam body lift device. AS you can see, I channeled it w/ my table saw so the wood will fit nicely (and it does) over the seam. I did give it a dry run and I believe I'll need to screw in another 2x4 beneath it---maybe a 3rd. We'll see. It may lower the 10 rwhp though by about 2.4. Just guessing
With all that removed, I only makes sense to test fit the bumper. I may have to postpone the tire install to next week, but we'll see.
On another crappy note, my damn Napa (or the hoses) power steering pump has a slow leak somewhere. This is driving me CRAZY.
