i'm sold. thanks so much for the pics and video!!!! you should ask omega for commission from all the sales you generate, lol!

 

You're all welcome. If I knew how to start a group buy on these, I'd do it.

 

you'd have to be a Sponsor to do that....I've already asked a mod about this on something else.








peace

 

Thanks for taking the time to post pictures and the video.

 

Thanks for posting this. I've sent it to my wife telling her it's what I want for X-mas.

 

awesome action!!! but man... i'm in the market for a new jack too but i dont think i can afford $200 worth of jack.... =( sucks being a poor college kid.... i guess the cheaper alternative is 2x4's and my stock jack

 

I have the Torin Big Red one from Pep boys. But the Red version of that blue that comes with the two jack stands. It feels like I am maxing out the weight on it. It's light but just feels so puny and is hard to jack up the car. I need to pump it like 10 times and put a lot of weight into it when it gets near the top. Kinda scary, I hate it. I was just thinking about selling it and getting the craftsman. I know my S is about 2800 lbs and the jack is only good up to 3000. Could that be an issue?

 

it's probably not a good idea to get that close to the rated max. it will probably wear out the jack quicker and possibly (god forbid!) cause a malfunction. i'd go for a 2-ton jack which will have you using it at about 70% of it's max if you are lifting the s2000. much safer than the 93% you are using your jack at!

btw, i'm no mechanic or anything, so i could be totally wrong about jacks, but like you said, you're putting a lot of effort to get your car up with your current jack... that can't be good.

 

Thats what i was thinking. It is hard to raise the car IMO. My dad tried it and was like ah na thats fine. But I mean our S do weigh a lot more than my 2000 civic did. I'm just wondering if it is the jack or what. Here is a pic of the jack I got from Pep boys.

It's pretty small. Light as hell and nice, just worryes me. I mean I know I just jack the car up and set it on stands, but it's kinda hard to jack up....or im weak. I just cant fit any of our other jacks under the S. Even with blocks.




BTW: Is there a jack point in the rear of the car? When I go to put on my exhaust, where should I jack the car at so I can set the jack stands infront of the rear wheel? I just got my S a month ago and have not really looked into the points. I know there are two behind the front wheel and one infront of the rear wheels. But if I use the one infront of the rear wheels, how will i get a jack stand under there if the jack is. If that makes sense lol.
