Under Car Photos

[Walsted]

Oil change time is fast approaching. I usually change my oil at the Auto Hobby shop at NAS JRB, where I can put it on a lift. While I have the car on a lift, are there any photos that I should take that would be helpful for others? I'm guessing the location of the transmission fill plug would be helpful - any other suggestions?

You mean photo's like this?

aalvarez04, what kind of bracing is that? Or is that an NC?

aalvarez04 - Yea, like that, or any other photos that are easiet taken on a lift. Is there already a repository somewhere?

It's not an NC. Those stamped steel LCAs are pure NA/NB, and so is the single-sided exhaust.

You think the name of the picture gives it away?

I took a few and posted them at http://www.mikewalsted.com/undercar.html . I figured they might help someone if they are trying to explain something that would be easier to explain with a picture.

Hope this helps someone.

Nice pictures, that should help out for those crazy times you need pictures like that. ::saves pics to computer::

I'll probably take a few more next time. With my previous car, there were many times I wanted to ask "what is this?" and didn't have an angle for a decent picture when I needed it. I figure if I get enough pictures while I change oil, I won't run into that problem, and if I share, it may save others some time and hair-pulling.
