rx7 bunkbeds.....this is the solution to when your wife says, "you can't get another rx7, because its a two car garage and my car isn't staying outside"..... oh no, no honey... your car will not stay outside.... I will stack mine with this.....

I would love to have a setup like Scrub however I don't have $3K+ to spend at the moment. Maybe sometime in the future when there's concrete on the ground instead of sand.

Several years ago I looked all over the place for a good set of gen III RX7-friendly ramps and finally found what I wanted at Griot's Garage. Here's the link

http://www.griotsgarage.com/search.j...=15&search.y=8


* They are easy to store and take up no more room than normal ramps
* They have the same height as normal ramps
* They allow a gradual climb, so they are easy to drive up, without back wheel spin,
etc, and without ascending so fast that you finish up in the living room
* They have enough ground clearance for the front of the RX
* They are easy to "assemble." Each ramp stores in two pieces for space saving. The
pieces quickly lock together in a pretty foolproof manner.
* They are wide enough to accomodate the full width of the standard RX tire.

In short, I've had 'em for several years and I love 'em.

They're a bit steep (sorry!!!) at $60 (+$10 shipping), but well worth it if you're doing a lot of work with your RX.

And, no, I don't get a cut from Griot's!!!!

$1000? WTF? That is stupid expensive. Years ago I worked for Takata here in the U.S. in one of their engineering depts and I never would have guessed $1000.......MAYBE $500 at the very most, but $1000....I am shocked!

To answer your questions about the ramps though, iirc they were under $150 per pair range.

I use a low rise jack, and some jackstands. Just takes a few min to get the car proped up and has always worked well for me. I see you are from Wisconsin as well, if you are from the Milwaukee area you are welcome to borrow my low rise jack and stands.

Wow Dan, that's pretty slick. I've always wanted a lift in my garage. But my current house has too low of a ceiling.
Next house i buy. I'm definitely getting a lift of some sort.

As with most owers, I can't get a floorjack under my car starting out. The low profile jacks typically don't raise as high as a normal floor jack so that wasn't an option for me.

I use the stock jack on one side on the front to raise it up enough to get my floor jack under the the front. Once I have the front on jack stands, I repeat the same for the rear (raise it a tad with the stock jack to get the floor jack under the car etc).

Sounds like a lot of work but it doesn't take that long anymore. But I always use jackstands.

Thats exactly what I used to do....doesn't take long at all once you've done it a few times.

I have a set of these car ramps and they work perfectly!

it's the Takata L.D.S Car Ramp

Yep....those are the ones I remembered seeing. I thought they were a little higher though. Apparently I was wrong. Looks like you STILL have to jack up the car when using those ramps. Oh well!

yes, a jack is still required however this ramp gives you the right clearance to roll a floor jack up to the engine cross member. i often leave the ramps in place and pull the car in/out of the garage. quite convienent!
