he posted something yesterday on another thread.

but i think he's overwelmed with reading this thread and not sure if it's okay to just blow off reading and post something fresh (like me

...) or not.

If I can fit a full lift (and the HOA allows it) I'll opt for that. But this is a great solution for a typical home garage.

Go for it and screw those goose-stepping, glassy-eyed, clipboard-carrying, armband-wearing, tongue-clucking, finger-wagging, lifeforce-sucking, no-life-having HOA people. That's what I think.

Though most of the time they do a good job at preserving the neighborhood. Like when they stopped my next door neighbor from painting her house purple.

Not Z related but I splurged on a new EVO LTE.

Is that what Mitsubishi is calling the new car now?

+1 mr.alcheng hang in there!

isn't there a way to 'dial' the close height other than relying on the motor and mechanical close on the glass?

sucks.

Actually, we have no such association in our neighborhod and I am thankful. We sort of look after each other.

The only downside is it's not a full lift so while under the car you've got to be on a stool and be mindful of your head, but it sure beats four jack stands.

Oh yeah, I remember these now. Costco in Canada sells them. $2100 delivered. It would be perfect for me.... It's nice that you can raise the pads too. I need something like that to get around he Amuse side skirts on my car. I add a couple of hockey pucks on top of my floor jack for it to work now.

One thing to keep in mind, on the site it says you need either a 20amp - 120v circuit or 15amp - 220v circuit. Most houses around here are wired with 15amp - 120v circuits in the garage.

I would pull the trigger on this right now, but just bought some wheels and tires, and need to get my kit painted.... Maybe this winter for when I install the boost!

Yup I will probably buy mine through Costco as well. Just need the house first.

Actually contemplating selling the 5.0 and DD'ing the S2K for a while. I owe just about nothing on the Mustang so that cash would be helpful to add to a down payment. After I get in the house and set up I could buy a Boss/GT500 or something else.

I have to think about it, though. The S2K is pretty damn slow... not sure if I can handle that for 6-12 months.

That sounds like a sound idea. I did a similar thing 12 or so years ago. Needless to say, it paid off big time.
