How the hell do you work on your car???? Rob?

The freakin' lifts at the dealer are too high to fit under the car, so we had to drive it up on a ramp then jack it

If I wanted to do some serious rear end work or something it would be a serious pain.

Love the drop though

 

So far, I do all my matience myself. All I do is either drive the car onto boards, or lift it an inch or so with the spare tire jack, then slip my big jack in.

The S is pretty low to begin with. Another 1.5" makes it a bit challenging

 

Yup, the stock height won't allow me to use the big jack either.. Need to use the OEM jack first.

 

I keep some boards around just so I don't have to fight with the OEM jack. Works for me

 

Make 4 ramps out of 2x10 spruce.

You need 2 10' 2x10's. Cut 4 at 3' and 4 at 2' 45 the ends and glue/screw them together. Use a 3" screw and countersink 1/4".

Done!

 

you must work at home depot....

 

OWNED... hehehe.

Right now I use some pieces of scrap MDF I have laying around. At the dealership though I didn't have them obviously so it was a pain, they found a wheel block and I drove onto it.

I should make something but it's still a pain. Changing the diff fluid it said to have the car level! Well I couldn't jack it up then because it wasn't level. I suppose I could have jacked up the entire car, but that seemed like a pain as well.

 

Wait a minute ..... I'm confused on your "ramps"

How they going to stand up? Hmmm

 

Did... and the wood was free when i made them

 

just get a really good run at the hoist; itll clear the arms if you get up to a good clip....
