(Camera phone quality) Disclaimer: No GT3's were harmed in the taking of this photo.

The story goes like this: My buddy gets tired of watching me learn the ropes of TIG welding (yes it was my first attempt at welding; I suck). He goes outside his shop and measures how hard it would be to remove the mufflers on his GT3. Comes back in and we discuss. "Why yes, it would be an excellent idea to remove the mufflers and make straight pipes for your GT3."

About 30 minutes into removing the mufflers we realized we needed some additional 'tools'. The shop lift was way to big to fit under, so we improvised. Grassroots if you ask me. (Yes, we used wood blocks to only lift on the lifting points)

Oh, and the sound of straight pipes on a GT3 = cup car = heaven!

(A bit off topic...)

How am I going to fit all this stuff in the trunk? There's an engine in the way?

Is this what an autotmotive hernia looks like?

Not to be outdone by the other yellow vehicle, the GT3 attempts to lift the same weight and blows out a nut.

Federal authorities burn marijuana field next to industrial complex, giggling was heard amid the fork trucks and impact wrenches. Local tycoon still has yet to find his Porsche.

I have had a chuckle with all of these.

I didn't take any action shots; to busy trying to pry the 50 lb mufflers out of the car.

Reminds me of this one douchebag I worked for who liked to park his yellow 911 (993) in the middle of the warehouse. It didn't matter if it was in the forklift's way, he'd just park it where ever he felt like. God I hated that prick.

Easy on the douche, I know its a stereotype but my buddy does not fit that profile at all. In fact he is opening a new facility in New Symrna and he mentioned having a GTG for anyone (including GRM'ers). His shop has robots and lots of other cool stuff to bend metal.
