Don't go with the 3 ton, get the 2 ton that @eikond was talking about. The 3 ton is low profile, but the 2 ton is low profile AND long reach, and with our long chin on these cars the long reach helps a lot.

I have the 2 ton, but I've had to use my friends 3 ton non-long reach jack and it sucked in comparison.

I usually drive my car onto planks so I have more clearance before I jack it up but the 3 ton I am looking at seems to have long reach also. I dont know. I will have to delay this purchase then. I will save up for the 3 ton racing jack.

My 1.5 ton craftsmans just takes too much pumps to get it up and it doesnt go as high.

thanks for the input.

Spotted grey BRZ with Hodge badges. I guess he works near my work in Halyard Drive.

we could just find a good place to have lunch and hang out?

Anyone interested?

I would be game for later in the day. I will be on the west coast of MI in the morning.

Were you just driving around the area or work/live close by?

I see a lot of Focus ST in the same area too...like 3-5 in a day. Im glad I didnt get it.
I work right across from him


Yeah there's two Focus ST's where I work. They're really common.


I might be free Sunday.

I'd be down for a meet.

Also, anyone interested in a Berk single tip muffler delete? It has the 4in tip on in too. I took it off my car late last year and it's been sitting in my closet since then. It will come with bolts but no gasket. Looking to get $80. Pending Sale.

So my BRZ's registration is due this month and I'm thinking about getting a custom plate when I renew it. Any thoughts on what to get? I'd like it to relate to the twins but not in a crazy way. I know a few weeks/months back, someone in this thread posted that BRRRRRZ or something like that is still available. I don't want something like that.

I found your other post with a list.. no pricing?

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...16#post1825116

I might be interested in the grimmspeed pulley cover, the open flash tablet and the helix mirrors. Send me a PM with a really low price that I can't refuse.

My wife is going to be in Appleton this weekend, so I could arrange to have her meet you partway to pick the stuff up.. That would make things really easy. But again.. would have to be a really good price because I just dropped a bunch of money on brakes and swaybars and stuff..

Thanks
