I've scanned through the old posts, but couldn't find the info I was looking for.
I might be in the market to get one of those mid-rise lifts. I'm looking for the one that a couple people have said was great for the 914. Low enough to get the car on, and would rise high enough, and had enough room under the car to enable an engine drop/install. I'd love to get some information on this one. A new lift for the garage might be in my immediate future! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Then I can REALLY get some work done...

Hi Josh,
I ended up with the XL6 Midrise lift from Greg Smith Equipment (IMG:http://www.gregsmithequipment.com/photos/TP-XL6-3.jpg) Works great with a 914!  Remember that you have to build some ramps to get a 914 over the lift itself  Besides the obvious benefits of having a lift, I recently rebuilt my pedal cluster and boy was it great standing up and just leaning in to R&R the pedals vs. lying on the floor half way in the car doing the same! |

QUOTE(race914 @ Dec 5 2007, 09:53 AM)  That's the one! Very cool. If I can manage to get this soon, can you send me drawings or something for those ramps? Looks like a great way to do it, and wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel in the process. And I could use this to work on my "other" cars too (all Volvos)... THANKS!! -Josh2 |
