It actually scratches the paint on the underside of the QuickJack rather than doing any damage to the floor. There are some videos on YT where people have made it easier to move around, but I haven't done anything like that yet.
I have to keep my racing gas off the concrete so it doesn't absorb moisture. I think that's why you need to keep your pump off the ground so that moisture doesn't condense into your hydraulic fluid. "Be not wise in thine own eyes, read the manual and depart from evil."
I don't think so, but I'm about to find out by doing an oil change. I may add one additional level to my yellow ramps. That would let me safely use the larger QuickJack rubber blocks and give just a little more room to get at the fasteners.
I haven't had a chance to check the access to the panel fasteners and clearance to remove them. If I had it to do over again, I'd probably buy a bigger one. That being said, check the frame specs on the QuickJack website to make sure your choice fits between the tires of a 718. @@borntokill158
Yes, I use the rubber hockey puck style twist to lock pads in the Porsche jack points. Those then rest on the quickjack blocks when the jack is lifted. The smaller size of the jack pad compared to the blocks keeps all contact with the car away from anything that shouldn't be touched. With this set up and my small yellow ramps, I have no issues with clearance and the jack has sufficient space to start the lift and pressurize before bearing weight.
Excellent video! Thank you for taking the time to make it and post it.
Lovely car! Thanks for the video, well thought out and presented
Excellent video! Well done.
You are a very careful person, thanks for the tips! My QuickJack is coming in few days. Just a quick question, does the Quickjack scratch the floor?

I just purchased a 718 GT4. Are you able to get the bottom panels off the car when it is up on the quick jack for oil changes?

any update? I have a 718 Spyder and will buy the quick jack soon. question is tl-5000 or tl-7000@@focusedwherever

Were you able to use jack pads that lift the car using the Porsche jack points?

when fully raised on your GT4, what's the height the car is at? (in inches)
What ramps are those? They look perfect!
It's just precut MDF from home depot
Yep, precut panels that I cut some more to create the step up, glued, screwed, and oil based painted.
@@focusedwherever it's almost like you said it in the video at 1:15 and if people watched it they would find out =)
Isn’t your quick Jack backwards. Looks like you have the forward end under the back ?
Large decal should be facing towards the front of the car. Be safe 👍
This car is mid or rear engine so sometimes it's better to put it on rear.
This.
Is that a 2023 cayman?
