A lot safer than being under a car on Jack Stands.

I'd like to see more on how you lift you shark off it's wheels once it's up on that lift. Do you use a normal jack and jackstands on the normal jack points?

Yes exactly that. I use large planks of wood to spread the load of the jack stands.
I also use a bridge that fits across the ramps. If you go to the webpage in the first post it shows you the bridge under options.
I personnaly prefer to either jack up the front of the car or the rear, not both together.
Just being carefull.
I have jacked up the complete car, however I find that I need to do that infrequently.

So Roger you think using EFI clamps is a bad idea too then huh!
as for the clamps i suppose they are fine, but if i could afford to replace with a proper fitting like the porsche one i certianly would. EFI clamps only in an emergency.

I would love to have a lift that lets me park two cars. That would mean I would have the roof clearance to do it. I do not so I have a Quicklift.
Ryan,
Back to the fuel hose issue - I will post some pics of the hose (on that thread) I just took apart and it is not as safe as we think.

My garage has a 20 foot ceiling, so the idea is a bit tempting to me. $2.5k and a car goes from driveway to garage parking. Sure would make me paranoid about drips.
