ACCESORIES pt.I
drifters need to change rear tyres very often, whenever neccessary.
(i now keep 2 spares in the trunk, you know what for, lol).
the std nut&studs set-up, is a bitch. stud threads are always dirt, and wd40 is always empty.
a battery drill, tooled with a 19mm, socket comes very handy for this job.
sadly, i spent in beers and cigarettes the whole budget for an hydraulic lifter.
so to lift the car up, i welded a 19mm nut to a mechanical jack, bought for nothing at the junk,
and i first arranged a kit like this one:
this jack is from a peugeot 206 has a too high rev-to-lift ratio and need a strong driller.
i made this one, from an old f**cked up 12v battery drill. but i almost burned it.
all that cable is pretty fancy to handle, and i also need something more "water-proof", if connected to the battery, to be used in my rainy closed-parking-lot-nights.
i've finally found another jack at the junk (almost for free), from a fiat punto mk1 (&others), which has a lower rev-to-lift ratio,
as you can see from the inclination of the 2 threads (at right, the punto one)...
it means that i can lift the car with a std 10euros euro-spin driller (the first one), without connecting anything to the car battery.
i just have to keep the thread a little greasy.
(i also kept the std crank, just in case...)
all fits in a small and light-weight bag.
