Is that how Porsche tested the aero on the 911?

One more request. Do you have any pictures of your 911 on the lift? I would be extremely grateful for some reference pics! :D
Sorry for the late reply...I just sobered up from the "500" weekend. This was my old 996.

Use some steel plates to spread the load out.

Appreciate the help Pete! I think the maxjax is what's right for me, given my current garage situation. (2 car garage in LA)

Finally pulled the trigger! Today is the last day of MaxJax's summer sale and they are currently offering free shipping and lift gate service! With the $400ish saved, I opted to upgrade to the Danmar M6 which has a few additional safety features. It has a ratcheting automatic lock that you see on most lifts instead of the two pin positions you get with the MaxJax.


I AM PUMPED WOOOOO :mrgreen:

You lucky sod...

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.
