Just wondering how you guys are able to fit a jack under your 7's with body kits, mainly talking about sideskirts with slammed suspension.
thanks.

oh yea, the search engie no workie for me.

 

Easiest way would be to get some "low ramps"
I think takata makes some, but there are probably heaps of other companies that sell a similar product, or you could make some fairly easily.

They give you just enough clearance to get a jack under

 

Just ride on top of a couple pieces of wood board. like 2X4 size

 

get some 2x4's then get the stock jack then get a good jack and there you have it

 

drive on to 2x4s jack from the diff and move forward with jack stands on each side from there.

 

kool thanks guys, Nice Work VS-KF's btw.

 

wow your car is slammed. looks good.

 

Thanks but needs to be lower to the top of the rim in the rear is my goal

 

Wow! Aren't you scared to drove that around the streets?! More pics?


+1 for the pieces of wood. The ones i have are really wide (~10 inches) and about 1 1/2- 2 inches thick. Look around construction zones, they usually dum,p them into the streets. THey come in handy!!

 

i've always used 2X4's and i used to set 2X4's on the lifts to so they would clear my sideskirts

 

I wish! That's a zt member's ride. He hurt his back real bad and got 5 back surgeries so he can't hump around on the ground getting jacks under the car, etc. So he did that. SO RAD! I wish i had those for my FC! One day.....

 

Wow thats definitely interesting.

 

wow, interesting...

 

Hey, what's the proper name for that onboard jack system? I'm just curious about it, wanna get pricing, etc. Thanks!

 

What are the chances of one of those failing when you're working under the car? I don't want to die a horrible death with a messed up face!

 

Its for changing your wheels while at the track! You run an air compressor, plug it into the male fitting mounted on the car somewhere, and your car pops up without the need to take anything off the car, drive it up on any wood, and jack it up, etc.


To do work underneath the car, just hit the air, get the car off the ground, THEN fit a jack under your car to a nice safe place, jack it up, and like regular, USE JACKSTANDS!!! Any moveable device whether it be a hydraulic jack, scissor jack, air rams, whatever is not safe to hold your car up while you are working under it. It always has the change of failing somehow. Jackstand is the only and safest way!

 

Ohhh... I see what you did there...

 

What's the name of the system? If you have the forum the guy is at and a name i can PM him at that'd be awesome too Thanks!

 

The forum is Ziptied.com

Check the Pitpass Body Shop section. Thread is called: "air jacks and fuel cell stole your girlfriend"


His is a custom job, so its not too much money. Complete sets for 4 jacks i've seen go for as high as $3000. Its obviously not that much if you do all the work yourself and search around for something else that can work, not sweet billet aluminum aircraft-grade ****.

I think his style of setup would run about $600. 2 jacks, make the mounts and brackets yourself. Mount to your main hoop of the rollbar.

 

Cool man, thanks!

 

Why? The gap in the front is already larger than the gap in the back. Making the gap in the back smaller would just make it look goofy.

 

Oun, here's the long version... =-/ https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/jacking-car-up-towing-370483/

plaguepunx, I love your FD. Post up some more pics man (or just email 'em to me hehe).

Dorifto_PG, thanks for the info man. Always wondered where you could get them. Any idea on how heavy they are?

Thanks!
