how do you jack UP an evo i mean . . . ?

if i want to put the car up on 4 jackstands, where do i do this safely on the car?

 

jack points under the car depending on ur jack stands you have you might need a block of wood to keep from damaging the panels under the car

 

wow...I was thinking the same thing... I have ramps.... so i thought about putting the front tires on the ramps, then jacking up the rear by the reardiff housing and putting in the stands. Or ramps front, and with one person on each side, jacking up the rear, then the stands. Hope I dont mess anything up.

 

haha thought you meant jack as in steal the vechile yeah bro theres 4 jack points under the car

 

i was thinkn of doing that also but then i started thinkn that would be verry unsafe incase some how somone bumps into the back or front of the car depending on how you go up ur ramps cuz i can only make it up my ramps in reverse and only on the back tires but that would be verry unstable if it got a little to close to the edge it would beable to roll down the ramps and knock over the stands and thats a bad place to be. if you wanted to do that use 4 ramps. not 2 ramps and 2 jack stands.

 

haha what i thought when i first read it i was like OH.. no fun..

 

There are very clear jack points under the Evo. Be careful about using wood in conjunction - it slips dangerously.

 

Here's a pic, you can see pretty well where I put the stand:

 

^^thats where I put them this last weekend when I put on my exhaust, it was very stable.

 

the first thing that came to mind was why would anyone ask how to steal an evo on the evo forum???

 

different angle

 

like this
hehe

 

what i do is jack the front up by the metal plate that is under the engine, there is a little plateu that comes down from it. once in the air, i place my jackstands on each side behind the tire where you would normally jack up the car to change the tire with the cheapo jack. for the rear i jack up at the rear diff, place the jack stands in the same spots, but for the rear of the car.

 

^ that would have made putting on my exhaust and hard pipes easier

 

Doesn't everyone have a hoist in their backyard?
