Low Profile Ramps / Race Ramps!

[eggy790]

i was looking for some low profile ramps so i could get the car on and detail underneath it/ come in handy for oil changes.

anyway after searching i found out they cost a bomb! so may aswell stick with trolley jack and axel stands

but hey i found this

may be of handy for you guys that are handy with the tools.. create your own ramp!

paving slabs work the same too, but more expensive i'd imagine

I bought sum ramps from halfords, they get the car up about 1 ft or so in the air, enuf to scoot under it and have enuf space too

 

[Edit]

Think I'll have a go at making some, when i can be bothered.

how much did you pay for yours?

I use paving slabs as a ramp up the kerb to get my bike in the back garden. 100+bhp and no traction climbing a kerb when the bike barely fits through the gap is a recipe for a broken hand, bike and fence!

i use a trolley jack and put a block of 4" thick timber under each wheel.....the extra height is enough to change an exhaust system with.....much cheaper than ramps.

£39.99 at halfords, there is that option wot Ste suggested, but it depends on how low ur car is
