Im going to post this comment a few times in the hopes that you see this. Do not read these comments as hate comments, These are people who enjoy your channel and want you to be safe. Please prioritize safety first. You can upload videos with non-lift projects while you sort this out. I have pasted 3 comments down below from professional lift installers on the subject: From @Marc11M Hey Caleb I install lifts for a living, if I was inspecting those lifts they would immediately fail because of the anchoring. I'm not as familiar with bendpak but every 2 post I've installed comes with 5-1/2 anchors which looks to be what these did come with. Most lifts want minimum 4-1/4 inches of 3000psi concrete with minimum 3-1/4 anchor embedment, as well as staying around 3-1/2 inches from cracks, seams in the floor, relief cuts, edges of the concrete, old anchors etc. which you can't see some of those issues with the epoxy already on the floor. Those anchors are pulled up way too far so either you don't have enough concrete or the concrete there is low psi or cracked/weak. I would guess you have maybe 1-2 inches of embedment on some anchors especially the ones near the drain, also since you cut off the extra length of the anchor that would also be an immediate fail due to that alone. With the little amount of room to move the lifts around in your shop I would seriously recommend you to remove the lifts and get new concrete pads poured. I do not want to see you get hurt or killed from those lifts failing please take my recommendation for your safety From @deanandrejevic1946 install, maintain and do insurance inspections on garage equipment in the UK and funnily enough used to fit Bendpak ramps and this 100% my thoughts. The bolts pulling up is extremely concerning. The cutting of the bolts is an instant condemn. Please please please get some concrete pads. I don't know if the specs in the US is different but 1m squared and 500mm deep is what we would recommend, but it will also say in the manual minimum concrete specs. It may seem overkill and a ballache but it's better than a lift falling. I've seen it happen and it isnt pretty. I see a lot of these videos and the fact Bendpak don't send professional fitters out when they ship the lifts is appalling. From @JessopRyan I fit lifts too, in the U.K. so the rules will be different. I agree those bolts pulling though aren’t good. We use Hilti bolts, I went to a training day about bolts and they are very confident even on expansion joints…. We don’t do it but they say you can. Safety First! You don't want to learn this lesson the hard way. Love ya, stay safe Gingium.
Someone pointed out on the last video that the lifts could be a safety hazard the way they are installed. I hope you saw that comment. Just a reminder to check it out! Don’t want anything bad to happen!
@@KartsAgainstHumanityThe other guy was mentioning that the concrete isn’t deep enough or the anchors aren’t in far enough. The funny part is gingium wanted to have a lift installed in his very first shop. The installers said no because the concrete was way to thin, I haven’t seen him use a installer since

@@officiallilsideshow It would be an incredible feat to get that to function! 😃 And I'd love to see it! Nankang AR-1 275/35 R15 is probably one of the best rubber choises for such a build.

Your welds here are absolutely beautoful dude. Found you when you had the miata before it was boosted. What a long way you've come. These videos inspire me to learn how to weld as well. Thanks for making great content
$50 used large flatbed scanner and a flat ruler for scale. Pretty perfect for scanning flat surfaces to adapt to CNC. A cheap tv/monitor screen protector can be used to prevent metal parts from scratching the glass with metal parts. 50% of the time a photo does the job but it skews flat surfaces, so prevent wasted metal and time with a scanner. Only takes 2 min longer than taking a photo.
You should drop a Cbr600rr motor in that thing. Around 120hp would be a good jump from the original motor. I'd bet anything it would be a very easy install.. my first bike in the early 2000s was a 02 cbr600f4i. I put a D&D on that thing. Sounded great.
If I’m being honest I wasn’t too much of a fan of the idea of him changing the exhaust setup because I didn’t know how much it would change the sound. But, my fucking god. I could sit here for hours listening to that shit bro lol. Fucking mind blown. Good shit Gingium.
havent watched a vid since the rally miata / bus times. man has your recording and editing gotten insanely good like man that slow dolly pan across timelapse is amazing
My friend, it's so amazing to see you converting cars into super cars! Tbh, I'm in a whole different work field and I have to admit that I'm jealous of your skills! I really loved the video of the Volvo! Thank you for sharing! Gr from the Netherlands!!
Epic job on the exhaust! Sounds Amazing! Side note: A Boilermaker once showed me you can draw a simple single "V" over the join for clocking your pipes.
If you end up wanting it louder you can drill the rivets. The cap will come off the end. Pull some of the packing out and put new rivets in. I’ve also cut them down shorter and it sounds great on a bike
I love this car and your work. Awesome man. A small car like that with a 3-cylinder or even a 4-cylinder cross plane from Yamaha would be absolutely sick.
I've done many a motorcycle end can conversions to get better sound quality and flow and it's a case of drill all the rivers out at the furthest end of the muffler remove all the wadding/packing and simply rivets back together and hey presto job done
Interesting project. Gotta say though, you might wanna keep a very close eye on EGT's once you fit the spray kit and start tuning. Mild steel flange on stainless pipe is a really bad idea in high temp applications. Tends to crack around the HAZ after a few heat cycles.
I think the one longer header tube helped avoid some of the raspy "Honda" sound you might have gotten otherwise. Gives it some tone. Overall I think you got a pretty cool sound out of it! A small resonator might actually make it even better, but you could also change mufflers if you ever want a different tone. Good stuff.
when doing the header flange, you should of taken into consideration the thickness of the material of the runners. add that to the size of the exhaust ports.
It is kinda wild that all this work is done, not including boosting it yet, just to still make less power than a new 600cc motor. Swap would be way cooler and probably more cost effective
I remember my mate spending a fortune on a D+D exhaust for his YZF750 back in the 90’s, they were hard to get in the UK at the time of if I remember rightly
