ebay ramp .....good for a IX ?

[evoaps]

You can buy a 3 phase converter my dad has one got it for 100 quid

I d rather a lift than a pit

 

[evoaps]

Most are 3 phase mate and will need converting to one phase for home use so end up mega money ! So it's not a little while saving knacker1

And they need servicing every 6 months

Build a pit and then use a sliding ramp maye loads cheaper ....I just can't destroy the barn floor or I'd have a pit now ......ooh I've had an idea ! Nice one apsy !

What's you idea mate?

Get a load of concrete delivered .....build a frame out of block and ply in the shape of two ramps then pour in concrete and im laughing ....instant pit/ramps (well instant once it dries )


I was looking a two post but from what I read they need the gears or cogs changing to one phase or the hydraulic pumps changed ??? ... Have you got a link for the converter dude ?

I don't know about the cost of these ,my dad was lucky to spot his one for sale cheap

the ramps look cool, as long as there is clearance i would say go for it, i would put axel stands upderneath just in case though

 

[invisible]

damn - so my ride on ramps arent wide enough!

I have a phobia of trolley jacks and axle stands having bend sills on previous cars and getting paranoid where to put the stands.

They would be ideal.

Could justify your ramps though jonny. It just scares me seing it that far up in the air!

Pit sounds good though

i never jack off cills. always head straight for the front cross member/ cradle or at the rear i go for the anti roll bar

and always put axle stands where the chassis rails are in the floor pan at the front and on the tie rod mounts at the rear

I'd go for these. Much cheaper and with the extensions ideal for lowered cars or those with front lips.

Still gets them up in the air and tbh you dont really need them that hight anyway.

If you get two sets you can get front and back up at the same time and have a good crawl around underneath

1 PAIR OF 2 TONNE CAR RAMPS + RAMP EXTENTIONS BRAND NEW | eBay

I'm thinking of these ones personally

I've got similar to these and even with the extensions the car still won't go on.
Fortunately the parking bay outside my garage is on a little slope and if I put the ramps at the top of the slope then I can (just) get it up on them.

hm and you have a V yea ?

my mates V is lowered the same amount as mine if not lower but he has loads more ground clearence than me due to my low splitter
would imagine evo 8/9 would have the same issue

 

[dessimpson]

Yep. I've got a 5.

Mine is pretty low though.
So low that there's only one place in Gloucester than can do the wheel alignment. Unfortunately they're frickin rubbish!!!

It works on a ratchet and socket via a thread system, you lift up each side 5" at a time .

WOW! i like those! ijust have a low entry jack and two 2 ton ramps , work fine,but those ratchet ramps look great!

easy fix if your cars low....2 scaffold boards and drive straight up ! and theyre wide enough for most 18" wheels and tyres :awesome:

no those would be great if you could just drive on them then jack them

 

[raph]

You do know that there is a jacking point on the n/s bar

Not if you have a under tray fitted ?

Yes but if your trying to put something under a wheel then you'd have to jack really high as the wheels drop as the suspension expands, hence why it would be really convenient driving on them
