New R53, looking to fix it up
New to me, 2005 R53 manual, picked it up in march with 46k on it. Already added 10,000 miles. Looking to do a super charger service shortly and some new control arm bushings and engine mounts to quiet things down a bit. I have been reading a lot on NCS Expert here and wnt to program some features such as auto unlock on turn off, etc.
i picked up some quickjacks this fall and ithey sure make it easier to get at everything.
Looking forward to the forum, I have already been search it for sometime.

Welcome to NAM! I see you're using the QuickJack! Aren't they great? Be sure to check out "DIY help" in my signature for help when you go to service the supercharger and anything else you do no your R53. I am here to help if you need anything.

Had a civic before the mini, never like the jack stands. Plus I only had two, and with the mini's stiff frame 4 is preferred. So having never really liked jack stands I thought I would try the quick jacks. I borrow a neighbors garage and driveway so that means I can't do a real lift. I picked up the 5000SLX hoping it might work on my TJ/LJ, but have not figured those out yet as the frame jogs. It does look like it will work on the JK my brother has since its frame is straight.
So in short, no leaks, quick disconnects are great, love them, quick to setup, easy to store. Optimal given my work location.

I love the quick jack, but as stated earlier , I borrow a driveway and a garage so its perfect. Would I like a regular lift, sure, do I have a garage no :(. Great compromise for those renters/house sitters/those without a garage. It fits nice under the R53, lots of room underneath to work. Oil changes, brake bleeding, all actually enjoyable.

Congrats, nice to see you have the old factory roof rack and the blanks covers when removed.
