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...

Hey, what do you peeps think of this one outside of the price. The big advantage I think is that it weighs 160#s and you could move it to another car. Those steel ones are 800#s and don't seem that movable. Also for an extra $300 you can get casters that allow everything to move. This only goes up 27", but my buddy has one and it seems really cool. I (Santa) am about to purchase one of these so please chime in for me too. ezcarlift.com Thanks

And 2) there's the crossbar that might also prevent an engine drop/install. And that's not factoring in the price which is nearly twice that of the scissor lift posted above. -Josh2 |
