There is a place at each end of the pinch rail on the rocker panels used for the scissor jack. There are two little cuts in the pinch rail at each end and you are supposed to jack between the two cuts.
BTW, there is a provided floor jack mount point at the front of the car and you use the diff at the back. Wish I had a lift...

Yep, that's the spots I use to lift mine on my lift. I also bought 4 hockey lucks and split them. I use them to straddle the pinch weld so I'm not lifting by the edge if the sheet metal.

If you haven't found the pinch welds yet, here's a pic: (Taken from the DIY on jacking your car http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10111)
