EMERGENCY JACKING
Place manufacturer-supplied jack on reinforced support points of side body panels (between front and rear wheels).

HOIST – When removing heavy rear components such as suspension, fuel tank, spare tire or tailgate, vehicle center of gravity may change and cause vehicle to tip forward on hoist.

1. On all Honda models except Accord, when removing heavy rear components such as suspension, fuel tank, spare tire or tailgate, place additional weight in trunk of vehicle before hoisting. Placing front wheel/tire assembly in cargo area can assist with weight distribution. On Accord, when removing heavy rear components such as suspension, fuel tank or spare tire, place tall safety stands under front of vehicle after hoisting.
2. Place lift blocks on reinforced support points of side body panels (between front and rear wheels). These are same points as used with manufacturer-supplied jack. Lift hoist a few inches and rock vehicle to ensure vehicle is firmly supported. Completely lift vehicle and check for proper vehicle support.

After what seemed like an eternity Gran Turismo 5 finally has a launch date: November 2nd 2010. But lets face it Polyphony is notorious for blowing the launch date so don’t be surprised if it suddenly gets pushed back.

How many Forza’s have been released since Gran Turismo 5 has been under development? About 2. Forza 4 is already announced at E3! But of course the quality and care is no where equal to the Gran Turismo series. It comes close however.

I have to admit I’ve nearly given up on Gran Turismo 5 but if they keep their promise this time then I’m all in.

Check out the new trailer after the jump.
