Can you share details on the speaker upgrades? Sizes? Direct replacement, or were modifications necessary to get the replacements to fit. Much appreciated!
The speakers are the same size as the door speakers. They are a direct replacement for the stock speakers. Thankfully there were no mods necessary.
Installed 3rd radiator, replaced water pump and thermostat. Coolant flush to go with it as well, currently in the process of doing. Also currently rebuilding calipers with only new dustboots and seals. Tomorrow includes changing out brake lines and master cylinder and painting the calipers after having them sanded down. Then new pads, motor mount with FF insert and headers hopefully by the end of this week.
Posted new PBs my last few track days. 1:43.382 at Laguna in December, Thunderhill East 2 weeks ago (1st time there), and then 1:53.658 last week at Sonoma. I also did some detailing today to clean out the dust.
I use Race Render 3 for the overlay (computer). I ended up paying for it after a couple videos to remove the watermark, increase time limit, and a little more customizing. It’s takes a bit of finesse to line up data with video but pretty easy to use otherwise.
I like the MaxJax, it and the Quickjack are in the same ballpark of price. I have a buddy letting me borrow his quickjack set up to try it first. Seems though you get more lift height from the MaxJax, any downside to the MaxJax (the anchors don't bother me unless they are prone to pulling out)?
Just looked up the Max Jax. Thats pretty cool, haven't seen that one before. @ochristofferson do you actually stow it away after use or do you just leave it there?

The MaxJax will go up to ~ 4' above ground. The shown picture is only half of maximum lift. My version has only 2 lift positions while the new version (I believe) has variable lift stops with a ratcheting mechanism.
I usually lift about half way and use a creeper - plenty of room to work. I have used full lift but dropping wrenches and other tools on myself are painful. And an oil change at full lift will splash everywhere if you don't have a tall oil collection container.
I have no other downsides other than what I mentioned and those are not really the fault of MaxJax. As far as the anchors, I used the epoxy anchors (MaxJax sells these as well) instead of the expandable anchors. Your concrete slab needs to meet certain requirements and installation of the anchors should follow procedure and be tested after they have set. Garage Journal and other forums have many posts on how to do a proper installation. Here's a link to how I did mine: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/...12#post5418012
HTH

I usually leave them in place - I have plenty of space so no need to stow.
