SHOP TOUR - Take Care of Your Brakes (and braking system)!

Taking care of your brakes is the one of the most important ingredients of winning. In this Shop Tour, I talk about how one race car ruin what you have that stops you! But wait, there is so much more - Close ratio, Mazda Motorsports EMT transmission about top go into Stephens car, Transmission rebuild so that I can test this new combo, and did I mention the prep for the June Sprints at @RoadAmerica is in high gear? But first, I have a stop at Ozarks International Raceway. And Next week? More cars will be in the shop!

Jesse your humor was in rare form this week!

[@PatrickLipsinic]

I got an engine/trans support bar from the Mac tools guy about 15 years ago. I love that thing. It's very handy for puling engines or transmissions on Subarus.
As for the clutch alignment tool. 😅
I have a large collection of input shaft ends from Subaru transmissions that I have rebuilt. I keep them or give them to the owner for the future if they want it.

When you're working on cars all the time, tools make the difference.

You should plan to do the HP Invite at MO (even though it’s in the summer)

[@jpm]

Nope! After the sprints it's all about runoffs prep and hanging out by the pool!

[@mrt7076]

How do you find the time to do all these projects?

[@jpm]

Sorry, I can’t answer this, too busy!

[@jpm]

I tend to not mess around in the shop. I'm very organized which helps a lot and working on my own I also don't have a lot of distractions.

Hey Jesse, do you think those quick jacks would fit under a spec racer ford?

[@jpm]

They are pretty low profile, but at most you might need a quick jack. Guessing they would fit and are super handy!

[@smiley800]

@@jpm ; thanks. I have a quick jack but it pulls the car forward/back. I'm just looking for something that will work better for the small area I have to work in. Thanks.

[@jpm]

@@smiley800 These pretty much take the car straight up, slightly forward. I think they would work well on an SRF.
