Not to go off topic but anyway to see more pics of the NSX-R clone:biggrin:
installed Bend pack lift in my garage - 2 nsx's now bunk mates
- Thread starter socalx
- Start date
Another option would be a 2-post Bendpak lift. John set me up with one years ago and it has been excellent. It does not bolt into the garage floor (which I like because when I sell the house the garage floor stays intact).
John and Benkbak ROCK when it comes to service, quality and value. Nice install Socalx.
+1!
Doesn't your 2 post take up 2 bays in the garage? My 4 post takes up 1 bay in my 2 car section of the garage...I can park another car next to the lift. Hmm, I thought all 2 post lifts required drilling into the slab...obviously I was mistaken. Do you have a model # or link ?

Those look nice but I can see a problem if you service the car in that the legs of the lift would get in the way. I know they are designed more for storage though so you can't have your cake and eat it too. Thanks John!

The floor is removable, if that helps. Its design is mostly as a storage lift. In the past 11 years, I have used the 4post wayyyy more than I do the 2post:redface:
I have one of those they are great for saving space.
I just picked up a 7k lb 2 post lift the other day its pretty sweet. I got one of these used for $1k at a bank auction. Its like brand new, I think they go for $8k new. Looking forward to installing it this spring.
I've had one in my garage for a year and a half now and no regrets. The Mohawk is the best designed lift IMHO. (I've been a mechanic -auto and jet- for 30+ years now, so I think I have some qualifications on what makes a great lift).
The only thing you won't like about the Mohawk lift is you won't be able to open your NSX car door open very far when properly positioned for a lift. I park the car about two feet from where it should be, get out and push the car to the correct spot, then set the brake. It's no big deal.
Also, I've stored my NSX since the installation of the Mohawk and have had no issues with the suspension (shocks, springs, etc.).
You got a great deal. Install and enjoy!
I had a different problem; Our house is "heritage" listed (Can not modify external look of garage). Dug out the floor of the garage; modified a standard 8,500lb four post hoist (using 2 standard platforms, 1 hydraulic/cable system & 4 new posts - double normal height). Now one goes down the hole!! Lots of CAD time & too much money, but very happy when it was done. If anyone wants more details PM me.:biggrin:
I have a 4-pole in a "historic" district...9' ceilings.

Hey, that photo of the NSX over the RL is mine! Sadly, both cars are gone, but the lift is still in the garage mocking me every morning as I leave for work. I've got to fill that space back up!:wink:
It's no problem. We put a provision for a "bilge" pump in a drainage pit. The concrete has been in the hole for 4 years. The most water we had in the pit from seepage was about 1.5 gallons (6-7 litres) after about 2 weeks of heavy rain. That evaporated out after a week. The hole is in sand, which surely helps, but I've never even considered drilling a drain through the concrete; water may come up, as we're only about 60" (1.5m) above the water table. :wink:
