Sunex low profile jack or race ramps....

madwi 07-08-2016 09:32 AM

Race ramps and a HF jack when they are on sale for like $70

I already have the 3 ton steel HF jack haha. Race ramps plus extensions are still just sooooooo pricey. I should just buy them though. They'll last a lifetime and make oil changes way quicker than jacking and using stands for placement.

Buy the ramps.

I just drive one front wheel up onto a piece of 2x12. This allows access to the front jack stand point so I can place both front jack stands at the same time. Takes <5 min :tup:

Race ramps it is

ChaseZ 07-08-2016 09:47 AM

What size race ramps are you looking at, 56"?

Yea. The 56 inch 2 piece versions and getting the 64 inch extensions since they're somehow $3 cheaper.

madwi 07-08-2016 09:58 AM

I think I might run over to the exhaust shop with the test pipes and see if they can do it without breaking an o2 sensor.

I think I'd have to take these off to be able to use any of the race ramps, only 1 5/8" clearance underneath :rolleyes:

Like them though. And well pretty much need them so I don't trash my front end. Car isn't even really all that low,

2x12(s) to give you clearance and roll up the ramps.

I left the o2 sensors on when I took my cats off. Much easier to deal with off the floor. Came off no problem then.

Just let them scrape a little. They'll be fine :twocents:

My front chin spoiler is still a champ and takes much more damage than those little air guides in front of the wheels.

Yeah, sort of defeats the purpose though. Especially if considering a few hundred bucks for specialty ramps and then still having to use 2x4's like I do now. I have to roll onto a piece of wood even to get my low pro race jack underneath.

Oh they scrape alright :driving:

And if they scraped the lightweight race ramps I'm guessing they would just push the ramps forward

Leingod 07-08-2016 10:04 AM

Hence why i am ordering the extensions also. No scrap at all at roughly the same height as yours.

Good morning.

ChaseZ 07-08-2016 10:11 AM

I'll grab a yard stick later and see if this works. Supposedly this is the "calculation" for use with the extensions.

Where is the best place to sell a nearly new unlocked iPhone 6s Plus?

And by best I mostly mean risk free of getting scammed

Masterbeatty 07-08-2016 10:23 AM

Good morrow everyone!

It is a fine friday with lots of humidity in the air.

Sounds like it's a lo better than the laptop I picked up yesterday!

Lenovo Ideapad 100S Red w/ Atom Z3735F, 2GB, 32GB, 11.6in HD, Win 10 at Memory Express

It's a pos but it's only for the Zed/Uprev

Did you get the updated BIOS that doesnt have a backdoor built in?

PC giant Lenvo has launched an investigation with Intel to find out which of its suppliers introduced the recently-disclosed BIOS level "ThinkPwn" vulnerability that allows attackers to bypass hardware protections on the company's ThinkPad laptops and other computers.

madwi 07-08-2016 11:32 AM

First shop I rolled into did my exhaust for me. They told me to :gtfo2: and take my test pipes with me. :mad:
Wonder if I can have a place install them and I'll flat bed it out of their shop and drop it a few miles down the road. :ugh2:

Davey 07-08-2016 11:44 AM

Not likely to get any reputable shop to do that, unless you know someone.

Darned if I know. I assume there must be an update for it?
It will literally never be run in anything but airplane mode, unless I need to update Uprev. Won't even touch my home network.

But I still don't like the sounds of that!

What about a performance shop instead of a muffler shop?

We don't have cat requirements in AB so no biggy here, but did mine myself anyhow. Really it wasn't too bad.
