Thumbs up RACING JACK FITS PERFECTLY!

Kind of an odd thread really but before purchasing a racing jack I always wanted to know before getting one if it would fit in the car and where. Since some other people maybe thinking the same I thought of posting a pic from my new race jack that fits perfectly in the trunk. So transporting it to the track is a breeze, the jack fits like a glove, like it was meant for our trunk!

Ok guys, I have to find out more about where this jack is sold. My mechanic sold it to me and he uses the same ones on all his race cars.
It's called Zinko race Jack, Model ZSJ-15A.
It seems very sturdy, light and it works like a charm on my lowered car. It takes about 5 pumps to lift the car to a height that you can change a tire...It has two pieces, the main one and the handle which is made of thick aluminum and its very light. I do not know if they make them in Silver, I guess they would!

All race jacks are essentially the same size. I have one I got from Griots and used to carry it this way also. I would suggested added some padding to the top of it incase it gets jostled in transit.

Phew!
First I though you're carrying this thing around all the time (extra weight! ) but for carrying it to the track, seems like a perfect fit.
Very nice!

I'll be needing one of these soon since my car will be a lot lower after it gets back from suspension 'treatment' in next few days.

Guys beware of the Harbor Freight cheap Jack. If you look at the archives some of the Listers here did not have very good luck with them... Here it goes the saying you get what you pay for...

Thanks for the tip Greg, padding will go on top!
