The lift is sitting on some race deck flooring. I also have some steel plates under the rear wheels. I didnt want the lift damaging the concrete floor. I had to put put the plates under the rear rollers becuase the race deck buckled at max height with the car on it.
Thanks for the props on the CRX. It has a B16 swapped plus tones of other goodies. Just got front struts back from Koni, fresh rebuild, rebuilt quicker ratio rack, new camber caster plates and making cross brace plates that all need to go in. Also going to larter torsion bars to flatten out the car a bit in the corners. Also just chopped the roof off of a 86dx that we are going to use to re-skin my roof and get rid of the sunroof. So much going on and the lift makes it all easier.
So the steel plates don't tend to move with the race deck there?
I wonder if I could just put some of that "anti-fatigue" foam type faux steel plate looking stuff under my whole setup, then put the steel plates under the wheels but above the foam. I may look into that this weekend.
Very cool on the CRX. We put a D16 in the 83 Civic (I just realized above I said 85, but it's an 83 really. Don't know why I said 85). It's been a long work in progress but on the home stretch now. The 83 was originally carbureted so he welded in the entire upper tank assembly/fuel pump/hanger assembly from an EG Civic. Full EG Civic wiring harness/ECU/everything. EF Civic wheel/wiper/light/turn signal stalks. EG speedometer/odometer and tach swapped into the original 83 cluster and he even figured out how to get the rest of the original 83 gauges/indicators to read from the EG ECU and wiring.
Tons of little totally one-off custom things he's done to it. Coilovers from the UK. He even designed custom adapters in SketchUp that he then had a machine shop mill for him for a big brake setup consisting of Integra calipers on 11" Mini rotors.
And sorry I'm done threadjacking now
How tall are your guys ceilings? I want a Challenger MR6 (mid rise lift) but my ceiling is only 7-8 foot. I could use it outside but i'm trying to keep all the work inside the garage.
Pier and beam with a slab garage floor. Several steps which step "down" into the garage from the kitchen area. Never measured garage floor to the ceiling but it's probably at least a good 13'-14'. If I position cars so that the roofs/windshields don't hit the garage door opener, I can definitely max out the HF scissor lift.
