Slammed Clio! Lowest on Site!



  Breaking A 172 Replica
I had 15 mins spare so decided to finish the job I started yesterday. So I Jacked up the whole of one side so I could do both drum and caliper at the same time.

The result:






















There are now wholes in the drive around an inch deep.

What do we reckon to damage? Need to wait for paint to try before I can drive it.

Where have the inch wholes come from? Shouldn't really be any damage, disk might be dented but hardly expensive...

The disc looks to be ok.

For some reason the jacks feet suddenly bent and the car went backwards and feel.

The wholes in the tarmac came from the disc and the rear arm that holds the hub.

I was going to get some logs to put under the sill in case of such an eventuality. Luckily I forgot :d

Go spend some money on a trolley jack and some stands. You might not be so lucky next time!!

It wasn't a Renault jack. Broke that getting myself unstuck out of the mud in a field one time...

So did you lower it on to the ground of did the jack collaps ?

Wouldnt mess around with the car without at least a decent trolly jack and some tryes... never mind axel stands.

Dont think the disks would have like that too much lol

Edit: alot of posts just came in. My questions are answerd. Just glad your were under it in any way !!!

The disc looks like it was loving it. The front bumper looks like it was hating it!

The jack collapsed and despite all my might I was unable to hold the car forward lol!

You numpty!

That jack looked like it originated from when cars were steam driven....i'd invest in a decent trolley jack if you HAVE to leave it sat on any jack.

Glad there is no serious damage though....to YOU or the car!
