EmZvr Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I read the thread, some scary stories For now my method is to put one wheel under the car so if anything hapens it will take the hit. Also one time I used logs instead of axel stands But I'll definitely buy axel stands some day in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickster Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Um...Yes. Are axle stands expensive? it's a long time since I bought some. The state of Honda handbrakes I would consider them essential along with wheel chocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I would never go under a car without stands there just isn't enough room for my head between the sump and the ground and I don't fancy having it made to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickster Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I see what your on about now James I've just read the last page of Pauls build.While we're on the subject tarmac is not the correct surface for any kind of jacking; use a spreader unless you want to end up with a trolley jack shaped ditch (especially if you had your drive laid by our friends in the travelling community for a bargain price ). Also the emergency jack is exactly that; leave it in the boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 lads FFS!! Yea brain dead ... spending hundreds on mods and risking everything to fit themhave you ever been under a car and though "what would it feel like if this car falls on me right now" while looking up at the gear box or chassis an inch above you forehead ..... next time you go under a car with out proper safety precautions have a good think and look up at what could pin/crush you to the ground, i bet you wont be long getting the F*** out from under there you would probably die from suffocation if your broken ribs dont punture your lungs or hearti have a foot and a half of telephone poll between the chassis and ground, two axle stands and a jack under my car when i am under it i am shocked that guys your age and being enthusiasts are this stupid, Seriously i feel a sick now, and i am raged cause it would make be sad knowing someone on here was such a tick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
