QUOTE(Heeltoe914 @ Jan 29 2007, 11:16 AM) Some have PM and asked at the other board if you can or cannot do a motor pull. Here are the pics. this car is getting a front mounted oikl cooler and a new trans, with all work being done on this lift So yes it is great for 914 repair. If you are thinking about one and you are local drive over and put your car on it and see for yourself how easy it is to use. I truly wish that back in my days of one car garages I had this option. The time and money I would have made and saved I can only wonder. How is the 4-poster for doing stuff like engine drops etc? I was planning on a 4-post lift in my garage....need those oil drip trays (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I think that you will be surprised at how much access you have to the underside of a 914 or any other car for that matter. I never had the plan for a 4 poster. It was simply because I looked at it as only for storage purposes, But after having it I can do a lot of work on that thing I got the service tray that allows you to put a jack in the tray and lift the car for suspension work. Its a little harder to get to suspension parts but it can all be done. It’s more of an all around lift than any other but you can even do a valve adj, with no problem. My clearance between the ramps is 40 inches. And yes with a Porsche get the drip trays I got three.

I make a habit of not leaving a car up in the air over two feet. I lower all cars before closing down. With the four-poster it’s getting bolted down. But yes we had a shaker yesterday I went to the garage and all was fine but. I also have earthquake Insurance and fire.
I also like to live life not worrying about what could happen. Sure you have to take precautions but that’s just life. I often say to myself if I lived in a hurricane area my car would be five blocks down the road, In Calf, at lest the car is sideways in the same spot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

There is a guy on F-chat that just bought and installed a Bendpak mid rise lift. You may have to join to view the pics but it looks good. He had to build ramps to get the car over the lift.
