Cooksports and my garage

[botfch]

Basically my garage used to be a bungalow that we converted so it has a ramp about the height of a speed bumb to get in and out am I going to have issues?

Annoy one nearby fancy trying it out ? :rasp:

Will grab arb a pic later.

I cant help but I do want to see pictures of the garage that used to be a bungalow please, sounds interesting!

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

You'll be fine

 

[botfch]

Ask and ye shall receive.

Thats very cool.

Can you not get the ramp made longer? so the front wheels are half up it by the time the splitter gets to the garage?

Ideally yes but apparently fresh tarmac will ruin the appearance of the drive.

I'm hoping it will just about squeeze in otherwise I will be brushing the gravel back sticking fresh tarmac underneath then brushing it back on top but I could do without the hassle/expense.

Don't suppose anyone could measure from the splitter lip to the ground to see what I have to play with?

 

[M.C..]

just drive your car up until it is at the lowest point then measure the clearance, anything more than 35mm and you should be fine

 

[Chip-mk1]

What springs are you on now?


I use a bit of plywood for my mk1 to go in and out as its really really low to the ground and catches otherwise, but thats not a daily so no drama.

 

[botfch]

Just standards at the mo, hopefully I should have 35mm will check later on otherwise plywood sounds like a good idea.

You will be fine , we have a larger short ramp on the entrance to our drive and the only time it touches is if you drive at it and brake at the last minute , cup on cooksports here

At farm now and measured my clio on cooksports and standard splitter has over 100mm clearance (measured 120mm but think floor runs down towards centre) hope that helps

 

[Stefan.]

I would think you would be fine.

Just curious, could you not reverse it in?

Cheers guys looks like it will just about do it.
Reversing is an issue because of getting in and out.
