brought home a 3rd car that needs to be garaged, of course I didn't think it through and obviously I don't have the space (well, i knew I didn't have the space). So now the Turbo parks outside. I'm limited on ceiling height so I can't put in most lifts. I'm currently looking at this one:

Any issues storing the turbo on an incline/decline?

32krazy!

you may get some smoke on startup due to oil pooling at the lowest cylinder while parked

Modify the house; lift the floors and park it in the living room...

What's your ceiling height?

I notice your location is Walnut Creek, CA. My advice is don't use that rack in earthquake country.

^ Good point.

108"

Also looking at this. But height wise I'd be cutting it super close.

I played little league with a kid whose dad parked his f40 in the living room 😂

Ouch, that's going to be tight. What cars are you stacking? I just went out and measured. I have a 996TT over a 930 and I'm at what looks like 108", but could drop the top car down one click and still have room to park under it. That said, you'll need to go up before you go down with most lifts, so something like you proposed above may be best.

parking, let alone.. "storing" on an incline will absolutely result in smoke at startup. i wouldn't do it. but i can't explain why.

This under the 996...


The good news is. My garage is open beamed, so I can get the highest point into an open part.
