What kind of muffler is that?

Magnaflow something. Whatever comes on the bummerworld race exhaust

Still leaking oil, but driving. should be getting the vc grommets today in the mail
exhaust went ok. It’s routed a bit goofy and isn’t tucked up as high as it could be, but it’s enough clearance for now and for $80 I can’t complain. This will be something in the future I will have modified to fit up against the car.

Also wired all the gauges last night. Went all out with the label maker
turns out the oil psi sender I have is most likely junk as the gauge pegs Max with key on. (Does this with sender wire connected and disconnected). The gauges all use the same power and ground and the other 2 work perfectly. New sender shows up tomorrow

Junk. Throw it against the wall and try again.

Sure, I stop coming to visit and this thing's starts moving under its own power. I see how it is.
-
Looking good! How does it sound though?
It’s ok. Haven’t heard it from outside yet

Passed this up to co drive the evo at the last auto x event. Which is probably good because I need to get things to 100% before taking this thing out in an environment like that.
Evo was still a bunch of fun

It makes me not want to own anything old and just buy tires/brake pads and go have worry free fun

New sender fixed the issue. @Rekpoint you can throw it against your own wall if you’d like

A first for me today, car fell off the jack as I was raising it up from the skid plate. It was odd, it just spit the jack out the front. Got lodged in between the valence and the core support. Barely pushed the valence out, blew the lip off and took some coating off a wire loom. Got lucky.

Glad to see no one was damaged in the process!
-
That's scary! Shit like this is why I'll never get under a car until I've got jack stands in place.
-
glad you're OK!
my guess it was the combination of a very smooth floor allowing the jack to roll easily (possibly a bit of oil residue or dampness?) and maybe going a little higher than normal.
when you jack under the plate from the front, you'll lose most of the contact between the jack plate and skid plate after only a few degrees of lift, per my half-assed diagram. also the plate is a smooth surface, so there is nothing for the 'teeth' of the jack plate to catch on.

There should be something on the skid plate that fits into the top of the jack to prevent slide out like that. I do like how Toyota vans (and I assume most of their cars) have the front subframe designed with a lump sticking down to fit into a floor jack.
As seen here below the harmonic damper.
