Question Where are the GT3 jack points???

As of yet I have seen nothing about this in the manual and there is nothing in the manual index. I am still work in progress reading every page.

Question:
Where are the jack points?

Are there center jack points allowing the car to be jacked up from the front so that both front wheels come off the ground and or from the rear??? Thanks in advance.

Okay, I found jack points on the sides, front ones behind the front wheels, the rears in front of the rear tires. So next question is, where is the jack???

The car is real low, so maybe a jack cant slip under the sides of the car???

Is there a jack that can by bought, trolley type that can fit under to get to the jack points??? Or is this the type car that can only be jacked by use of a garage type hydraulic lift. I need to get under the car so I can remove the cosmoline crap that has been over-sprayed into the insides of my rear wheels and under various parts of the suspension and engine components...Help!!!!

Did you not know that the GT3 does not come with jack and spare tire?

You can use a floor jack designed for low cars. Those can be found at Griot's Garage, The Ultimate Garage or Kinesis Wheels.

Thanks Viken, yep, did a search of the front trunk and no jack. Glad to hear that there is a jack that would slip underneath the car...

Or you may buy 2 lumber pieces from Home Depot, having them angle cut. So you could drive it up to those pcs. There would be much more space to slip in the jack. That's my way to do it, even your car is slammed... shouldn't be a problem.

the jacks shown by viken are the best jack out there, unless you need super light race jackes. but the GT3 is so law you the side skirt is even lower then the belly, when you jack it up, make sure the rubber puck is tall enough (maybe need 2?) so the arm of the jack doesn't hit the sideskirt.
