Ladies, gentleman and whatever the f*ck Samass is, thinking caps required.
What I am wondering about is a SAFE, relatively quick, hassle free method of jacking these 306's up and getting axle stands on the sills.
This has come about mainly for the track car that Jonny and I are building, just to make life easier. We've both had experiences now of the car sliding off. My fell the other night and so I now have a lovely dent in my passenger door, but that's not the point of this thread.
The car just wants to be supported in a way so that the subframe can come off.
One issue is that because the cars are lowered, it makes entry form the front difficult, i.e. crushes the bumper.
I think Jonny said he tried a way in which he drove the car onto ramps and then tried to jack it up, but the trolley jack was hard against the engine.
The only method that we can think of is either two bottle jacks or two trolley jacks onto the subframe and then lift it up that way. Although, this would work, it is rather time consuming and if we can get away with using just one trolley jack, it would make life so much easier.
Jonny had a thought on making a frame, but I can not quite remember exactly how it would work or be made, so I'll let him explain at some point.
So, just wondering if anyone has any thoughts/ideas on how to solve this issue?
