Car jacks

[baute]

I'm having some problems, to lift my car, I've already broken three "oem jacks and my question is the following.
what you use to lift the car? because I searched many car jacks but neither is it small enough to fit between the floor and chassis. I have to upload the car to woods and juggling before using it and want to avoid this and buy something I can apply to any emergency, that I may not do rare things ...

You can buy low profile jacks....



But I usually just drive up onto wood and then jack the car..

thanks, I've seen something similar, but are rather large to carry in the car every day, I wanted something more portable...
I have two woods in the trunk for any problem, but I want to avoid this step

You can buy little ramps instead of wood but it's same shit different pile basically. Just part of what comes with being lowered.

i think more than half the people on this forum rock some pieces of wood in the trunk for lifting purposes. its just part of the game.

I've never broken a scissor jack.

Now that a scissor jack doesn't fit under the Miata I don't carry one with me, but I used to. Now I just bring a small floor jack in the trunk if I'm going to autocross, or somewhere I think I might need a jack.

yeap blocks of wood and a jack in the car is key, almost as much as zip ties haha.

Get an e36. They have that side jack post thing.

god
looks a little unsafe...
and my 1.4litres engine surely turns off when you get out that of the trunk..
i found this :



but you need an air compressor, I do not know if that can be inflated with a 12v compressor

You won't trust scissor jacks but you will trust air bags? I am confused.

[baute]

no no! you dont understand me, the scissor jacks are perfect, but when it start work so low, so open, the plastic axis load an extra pressure and breaks .. I've already broken three oem scissor jacks
honestly I have never seen any of the two air systems works, for these reason I am asking why do you think?

[Kielan]

Ah now I see what you are saying. Your best bet is really to carry 2 small 2x4's with you and use an OEM jack.

Looks like we need them stanceworks engineers to come up with something......Lord knows I'd buy it
