The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXIV

Leingod · 07-06-2016, 07:43 PM

So I am shopping around Amazon because Prime day ahs a special for Amazon Visa card holders. $30 off any prime purchase of $150. So I planned to buy a low-pro jack. But I found these things. I may order a pair and see if they'd allow enough room to allow my normal jack in the front and sides.

I felt bad but that thing must have been riding in my blindspot for a while as I never saw it and I check my mirrors frequently.

Forgestar price includes powder coating at least.

That is a plus for forgestar as you can get them in about any color you can think of included in the price.

Save $40, a couple of 2x12's and you can have your own set.

You are correct. I can't get my regular jack under the front or sides. This past oil change was a nightmare. I jacked from the diff in the rear. Got 1 stand under the rear side panel. Then lowered the car and jacked the other rear side panel. That gave me enough room to jack the front side panels while slowly sliding the stands since I only own 2.

So my original plan was to buy that pittsburg low pro steel jack. But now I am curious if I can spend half as much for some mini ramps allowing me to fit my standard hydraulic jack under the sides and front.

hummmmm... scissors jack cant fit under there either just to raise it enough to get ur hydraulic under there?

im thinking if ure going to get them halfarsed ramps, why not just get a couple of wood planks for cheap, and get some raceramps and extensions?

It really has turned into a Touring car. I might pick up a square set of track wheels in the near future. Now that my warranty has ran it course I don't mind going to the track once in a while. There is one not far from the house.

I don't have a circular saw nor know anybody close with one. I taught myself how to use power tools for as scary as that sounds.

Scissor does fit, but I've heard they wear out very quick after just light use. Didn't want to break mine.

I was thinking of just getting the race ramps and extensions. I just saw those mini ones and got intrigued.
