1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

A rental Pacifica is one of the finest rally cars available. Pro tip: fold down all the stow-n-go seats for a lower center of gravity.

Gonna have to go head to head

 

For a limited time only!

 

First i need to firm up this suspension, im used to things that ride like a chuckwagon. Makin me nauseous.


Its the hybrid and seems to have plenty o power. Other than that, i dont love it.

 

yeah I'll just strap it to the roof of the M3

 

Well don't drive that you'll never make it up here

 

So you don't think it would make the 2,500 mile drive to PA?

 

Still haven't gotten around to welding the rear reinforcement plates on my frame.

Now this thread has me all fucked up, how do I make sure I don't do this:
Had friend weld safe t cap

 

You're confusing the application.

The Safe-T caps are to essentially repair/replace the metal in the frame that has failed (or about to fail).

You're adding reinforcements to a non-failing frame.

 

I'm betting that frame was cooked, already buckling, and a good portion of the frame was already gone.

 

Oooof that sucks

 

Ooof added up all the monies on this project. Definitely gonna be figuring out how to return shit on Amazon for the stuff I didn't use

 

I think safetcap has instruxtions like leave the bed pn and don't let it get too hot/weld it all at once. My amateur self cut my own plates and welded them, came out great.


Also, my frame wasnt that bad.

 

I'm not convinced it would make the 25 mi trip to In-N-Out

 

Most returns just require simple drop off at any UPS store

 

So I shouldn't have any worries since my frame is rock solid, but to be safe should I alternate sides? Weld like 1/4 of one plate, go around weld 1/4 of the other side and repeat?

 

Yeah, not a big deal, just never done it

 

Amazon has been cracking down a bit on returns, especially the 30 day limit

 

I've learned some UPS stores definitely don't enjoy being a part of whatever that deal was that Amazon made with UPS. Especially the "no packaging required" drop-offs. I think they get some small fee from Amazon per return but I don't think some of them find the hassle worth it

Definitely makes returns really easy though from our end

 

Pretty much

Weld distortion is a thing no matter what

Just alternate like you said
