Hrant,

Thanks for the info on the jack. I visited the local Harbor Freight Tools store last night (located at Auburn and Garfield, Sacto) in the interest of getting one, and they were wanting $169 for the silver 3000# jack. Is this $149 price an internet-only deal, do you know? The register person there didn't know what I was talking about regarding the online price.

I didn't see/read disclaimers that this was only an Internet deal!

What I propose you do is take the print out from the Internet and take it with you ........ sometimes the staff there need a few more cups of coffee if you get my drift ...........

Thanks guys. I brought a copy of the webpage in with me to HF, and got the jack today for $149. It is not a "quick initial set" style, i.e., under no load, the jack can rise to full height in one pump, but it's a good deal nonetheless. The ones at Costco have the "quick set" feature but cost $279, so the one pump feature is a costly option!

Does anybody know if this jack will fit under the car with a WW body kit installed?

This jack fits under my lowered '95, and Chris Wilson said it fits under his lowered S2000, which is very low. I do not think you will have any problems.

ncdocdog,
Wow, thanks for that lightning quick response !!
Guess I need to go ahead and order one then.

It works fine with my lowered (Comptech/Eibachs) WW equipped NSX.

The box mine comes in says the minimum height is 4" and so check your measurements...jim rehner

So can you or anybody else tell me how well it looks/works/is made?

 

[ncdogdoc]

Once you buy one you will never use a regular jack again. I promise. The only problem I have is, because it is so light, it rolls down my driveway if I do not rest it against something!!!!

WEll I guess if you consider 55 lbs to be light LOL

The jack that was for sale for $149 weighs only 35 pounds. But it feels like only ten pounds, after always wrestling a standard steel jack around my garage floor.

The quality seems very nice. It's a jack worthy of the NSX.

BTW, the minimum height of my jack is 3.5", not 4."

Just ordered one...since the order is over $50, shipping is FREE
They do add a $5.95 handling fee, bringing the total to $155.94 to your door.

Thanks for the heads up about the deck height! That was a major sticking point for me.
