Car Falls Off Lift!!!
A vehicle at a garage slipps off the lift arms and some how manages to get stuck 1 foot off the ground. Somehow the vehicle suffered very little damage. Car gods were looking out for this one.
*update* This is how the vehicle came to it resting spot*
Engine and tranny were getting ready to be installed into vehicle, Hence the craddle sitting on jack stands. While lowering the vehicle down to install the craddle back into vehicle no one noticed the pole jack still supporting the rear end of the vehicle until it was to late. This is the result of what not paying attention does. 1 man almost looses an arm while holding the strut up right to slide it into position... Dont work in a hurry people!

Welcome back kids as some of you might know this video is a companion to the video I did on "Diagnosing An Overheat". This is how the cooling fan got fixed. I realize that some of you out there might be electronic wizards and know how to solder way better than this but my methods work and are way better than using those plastic connectors that just clip 2 wires together. My little tool works good in tight spots too, all you need is some house wiring and some alligator clips to make that happen.

.5yrs in the making delays due to the usual bad UK weather, holidays and the like since her initial start up earlier this year. We finally got her mapped today for track use, after pulling 591.2hp@1.5bar around 5-6weeks ago on the street map, making sure she ran straight it was time to turn up the Boost.
Unfortunately peak power figures were held back as we hit a 92% duty cycle on 1200cc injectors at the top end of the rev range. So once we know she still runs straight bigger injectors are on the shopping list.
