Front Bum Racing 360 Challenge all ready for Targa Tasmania

That or topping up the NOS bottle!

Possibly.

I was just saying I like 2 post hoists better than 4 post hoists.

 

Who are you calling "cock"?

 

you.

 

exactly.

the way it lifts the car is similar to the way it's done at Zagames,

Two posters with our cars being so low is a total pain in the bum

 

The also make arms on the 2 post hoists that accomodate lowered cars.

 

the best of the lot was the laycock,but they were too expensive,mind you i have one.

 

nah...they're crap. putting a ferrari on a two post hoist is hard work, but usually on 4 posters you can't take the wheels off. this hoist is the best of both worlds.

easy to get the car on, and easy to lift to work on wheels/suspension/brakes.

 

Lol!! Fair enough mate.

I swear by 2 posters!! The 4 poster ramps get in the way ALL the time. Trust me, that are crappy and annoying.

2 posters give you A LOT of room. Its not hard to get the Ferrari up at all. Drive it in, leave the car in neutral, get out, kick the front legs under, roll it back and kick the rear legs under. Place them in the right spot and lift the car. Takes 1 minute.

 

lol. Someone else here is a bit confused. Currently he's a 3 poster. And no, not in that way.





















Hint (mpmp, Bestia, Jag V12)

 

Crap

 

Yep

 

I,m with you,Peter ,this hoist is the ducks guts....wheels off when you want to...engine ,g/box and other nasty things if you have to.Great for normal serviving.

 

I would LOVE to see someone remove the engine out of a V8 Ferrari on a 4 post hoist.

At best, a hoist for the lazy man for basic oil changes.

 

Hmmm...well g,box and ancillary bits.Not owning a rubber band car I thought since the engine was in the posterior the thing would come out the same way...out through it,s arse

 

As with any 4 poster, dropping anything 'big' out from underneath is nearly impossible because they are too narrow, because of the wide ramps.

I have seen people drop engines out of 348/355 using a 4 post hoist. They drive the car onto the ramps, but leave the rear wheels hanging over the edge. Then take the hoist up and down etc...to do the job. The car need to be supported under the body as it sits on the ramps. Also, it looks VERY dangerous as it looks like its going to topple backwards off the ramp.

In my VAST experiences, 2 posts are the way to go for all major repairs.

On Tuesday went to a mates workshop to drop the gearbox and diff oil in my Commodore ute. He has a 2 post and a 4 post. 2 post had EL Ford with the transmission out. So I used the 4 poster. Just draining the gearbox oil was a mission because I had to use a breaker bar and 3/8 allen head socket to crack the fill and drain plugs. They were VERY tight. The ramps, being so wide with a narrow section in the middle cramped my style and I couldnt get a good swing on it. I got them loose after a few goes. The advantage of a 2 poster is.........you could have had a party under there and still had plenty of room to loosen both plugs on the side of the gearbox!

 

yep sounds about ok.

 

Yep

 

trouble maker!

 

Five days, 3 and a bit hours to go.

 

yep

 

ok, it takes me 1m:17s but that's because I'm slow and old ... maybe driver training will help ?

 

Speaking about slow, did you see my post about tony bennett's time? I think he should go back to his S2000 and cheat with non disclosed mods....it seemed to work much better for him.

 

you're being harsh, outside of you and Michael Schumacher who else can get a 355CH to do those lap times ??
