Need floor jack for lowered NSX?

[matteni]

I have a $30 wallmart jack that I was able to modify for my lowered NSX.

I used a dremmel cutting tool to cut off the welds that held the top disk on it. The disk still has the hole and the pin for the "holder". It does not fit under the stock mounting point but does fit just to the left - still completely on the plate as the mounting point. Not ideal and could slip but I only use this method for swapping a wheel not jacking as high as possible. I am thinking about getting another one so I can start one side and then put the other one under it to completely jack it up.

I find one of those concreate splash gaurds around the house is great for driving up on as well so you can jack it up. Just the darn thing weighs so much!

Just another thought...

Uhhh...I take that back, thank Steven. I just ordered one, but I'm not expecting it to be anything near the "high quality". I have purchased and own many of their tools/equipment knowing that I'm gonna modify it, fix it, or just return it. Anxiously, I will await it's delivery...
Thanks Steven.

See if you got better luck then I do. I ordered it and was told the item was back order every month I called. After 6 months, I gave up and purchase the other one (similar but twice the price).

Just visited the Harborfrieght web site and noticed that the aluminum floor jack was on their home page.

Perhaps it's now available?

Andrie does the jack slide under the car alright or is there clearence problems I assume your car is lowered.

With the H&R spring, the jack will make it with a little help. I have to lift the fender and push the jack with my foot.
