lift rental
 

Anywhere near Aliso Viejo that I can rent a lift for a couple hours?

Got an FT86SF catted header and motiv OP to install and don't want to do it with the car on jacks.

im stuck in your boat as well. there's a spot in hollywood or something like that but that's way too far for my liking. i too have to install a header and overpipe hahah

Why not save some money and use a jack and Jack stands:iono:

+2 use a jack and jack stands, these are the easiest to install.

I don't think any rental spots are around here. 4 stands would be your best bet to keep the car level. I'm near you if you want to see how I go about the lifting process safely. I did a whole clutch job and turbo install like this, works fine.

You the white BRZ/FRS?

I was under the impression that most headers were a pita to install on jack stands for these cars. Is this not true? At the very least, is the FT86SF unit installable from jack stands?

If you're willing to drive to the San Gabriel Valley, theres a pretty cool place called "Your Dream Garage". http://www.urdreamgarage.com/

I'm like 2-3 minutes away from this place! :confused0068:
Going to check it out.

Damn... $25/hr?? That's cheap! And it isn't TERRIBLY far away, either!

If you need help I'm down to help you. I've changed the over pipe and front pipe. Havent done a header yet tho! It'd be a good one to learn cause i plan on getting headers too!

Thanks! I am still waiting to hear how difficult it would be to install this header on jack stands to make my decision on weather to make the drive up to yourdreamgarage or not.

Suppose I should take things right from the horse's mouth and PM FT86SF. I'll let ya know what I find out.

I might be able to hook you up with a lift but I'm over here in 626 as well...

Yeah, and they provide all the tools that you need.

+1 with http://www.urdreamgarage.com

Do you know if they have lifts that go under the car and let the wheels "float" so that I can do springs and jazz?

From their site it looks like they do. I haven't been there to confirm but I drove by it yesterday and really want to stop by. Attachment 69239

This help anyone?

If you guys can't find anything, we have special labor rates for FT86 members if they need a quote for whatever parts you want to get installed. PM me for more info or just to ask how much we would charge for what you need installed :)

Thanks, but I really want to do all the installs myself for experience. =)

No worries! Just thought I would offer just in case :)

Headers are easy, it's the overpipe that requires a bit more work. it is all doable in less than an hour though with an extra set of hands. I've uninstalled and installed all the exhaust pieces by myself on jacks only and this car by far is the easiest to work on exhaust wise. I only suggest having an extra set of hands because it's a pain to try and mount the headers with one hand and wrench with the other.

If you make the long drive, do you just sit outside for an hour waiting for the car to cool so you don't rack up hourly charges?

They don't charge you until you start wrenching.
