My driveway was recently repaved and now my s2000 can go into my driveway without any scrapes on the underbody but when I try to enter into the garage, my front lip scrapes too much and stops me from proceeding as it might just tear off if I apply more gas. I know the contractor guys should of fixed this or at least have someone watch what they were doing but I was at work so no way I can do that plus I didn't anticipate this problem.

I went to home depot last nite wondering if I can buy 2 wooden boards and line them up so I can use as a ramp to get into my garage but the guys there said no wooden board can withstand the weight of a car. Now frankly the car is going to be running over the boards about 2-3 seconds really quick and the clearance from the ground will be just a few inches barely giving me enough room without too much damage to the car.

Is there any type of plastic or wooden piece I can use that will allow me to avoid any massive scraping? I will post pics later to give a better look.

 

I have the same problem with two of my other garages. I can only park the S in one of them. My neighbor who used to have an S had to remove his aftermarket springs and lip to be able to park in his house.

I don't think there is much you can do except remove the lip .

Sad thing is even though the M3 is lower, it can still park in any of my garages without scraping because of it's very short nose.

 

Yea I was thinking if I remove my front lip I can clear it but I don't want to give that up.... =(

 

Try it from the back!!!

 

Back in? Go in at a bit of an angle?

As for a board holding the weight of an S2000, it totally depends on the length of the board and the angle you're trying to use it at. It shouldn't be a big problem.

 

my civic was about a soda can from the ground. i had to back it up everytime, but if that doesn't work and u don't want to give up the lips which i wouldn't want to either, i would get some 2x4's which is strong enough to make it over i think...

 

raise it.

its such a hassle to worry about this kinda stuff.

 

Yes guys I'm just thinkin of getting some short wooden boards which are diesel enough to withstand for 3-5 seconds just so i can clear it. I know the longer the board, the center will be weak once the weight transfers onto it and snap.

 

I was thinkin maybe i should try backing it in first cuz the butt is definately higher than our front end but then i have the problem of exiting as my front end wouldnt make it once I climb up since its so long and low.

I am on stock height.. not dropped.

 

Call the contractor,and have the driveway fixed.
