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

I sent out for a quote, we will see. I actually dig the Work wheels a lot and they come in black.
Forgestar cf5v isnt too bad either and comes in a plethora of colors.

dose are pretty light weight too, no? thought forgestars are light?

madwi

They are not terrible if I remember correctly. I want to say they are heavier than factory though.

kenchan

i c... the RE11's are pretty heavy so something to think about.. going light on the wheels.

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.

is ur car dat low where u cant get ur hydraulic under there?

Leingod

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?

Mine is too low for my low profile jack. Not least of all because the jack points are so far inbound on the car. I drive it on the a couple pieces of 2x4 then I can get it under. Had the same problem st the shop today to smoke it on the lift. Need 2x4 to get the arms of the loft underneath.

And I'm not exactly all that low either. Though I'm planning on raising it up about 3/8 all around but waiting until my spacers arrive on Friday to fit them first.

madwi

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

Leingod

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.

wat? just go to home depot, look around the scrap area and ask da guy to cut it for u.

madwi

Ok man, go get a shirt and vest that closely resembles a Home Depot uniform.
Get your 2x12s in the cart and mark them with the correct lengths. look for this beast in the store:


Walk up to it like you own the damn thing and cut the boards to length.

kenchan

EXACTLY!!

dont waste ur money on that crap unless it has some faking cool logo or something on it
