Yeah not sure about the DIY MR2 one. All the foldy hydraulic stuff is cool but as i said,budget next to bugger all!
Jims got the idea,just 4 standalone columns of good strength and with the ability to stop the wheel rotating once on.Would probably need one end of the car on some raisers though,if you werent using a driveon, then once one end is up in the air,if you did want the entire car off the ground then youd need one end on some slabs or whatever first to get the jack under as the car would be at a big angle!
This is also the reason for getting better height.I have to watch my back after having a discectomy when i was 30. I did the underside of the gen4 years back with it on axle stands,and it was a bit of a killer.I want to do some cleanup under the GT4,and also to be able to keep the Gen4 good,so I'm not going to fold myself about any more,too old and rounded for that shit these days
if you want a set i can knock some up for you,100ft of 30x30mm angle iron,problem would be getting a courier,but it no problem to make you a set,the ramps used up 150ft and the cross ramps which are no finished yet was 100ft.

left handside from the wiper motor silver colour box (igniter) below it is the coil pretty much next to the plate on the firewall
-
not quite finished yet but the 4 column things is strong enough to support the wheels,then altering my ramps the idea is to be able to drive car up so all 4 wheels are on these column thingies then able to remove the ramp and bit inbetween leaving it sitting just 4 columns

could some of you give an opinion as too what height/ground clearance is suitable for this,
the arches can be adjusted lower if required or lowering the suspension,but drivability practicallity and looks to think about
this side has the arches slightly lower which I think looks good but we dont want something resembling an offroad truck

hopefully the non car folk will think like most,what a waste of time effort and money,it would better to give them free bus passes,providing there electric
wonder how it can be enforced someone like Dan could be firing his banned firearms at the time a car goes past the acoustic cameras,will it also work on loud music playing in the car

wow what a great future to look forward to,styling on those are second to none.human race is getting less and less intelligent as computers driverless cars self parking etc take over.now its too noisy,wonder if the same rules apply to aircraft/trains and even power tools.
be aswell calling it a communist state.

Your welcome Jim. Well first of all when I got home I washed car and then went out for a spin. Loved it as ever car passing the folk weee cranning there necks to look lol
as for the driving, yep the steering was lighter but the driving was great. Doesn’t seem to wheelspin now at a standing start too. It felt smoother and less noisy. And according to my mrs she said the wheels make the car bigger lol
while I remember what size of wheel nuts do I get when I get the new ones sorted out?
Thanks again
thats what i have wether they come in kawasaki green i,m not sure.but throw your locking nuts away before their stuck in the wheels,
glad your happy with them

Thanks again jim and hopefully catch up again soon and no doubt will be bombarding you with more questions
thanks for the kind words
not a problem.its nice to meet a fellow member.those wheels certainly look the part on your celica,was it any different to drive with the bigger wheel and wider tyres.

i went for rainsports over the eagles as reviews favoured them plus their a lot cheaper.
these cost me £87 each considering the size is pretty good.F1 eagles were £30 more per tyre
