Slammed Clio! Lowest on Site!

[C.slicker]

Yeah I should be pissed, but for some reason I just laughed.

I think its because the car is going so shortly and I am breaking it anyway.

ooops

 

[Andy_J]

oh my god.. lucky you or one of your legs werent under it at the time!!!!

 

[C.slicker]

How did you get it back up, if you don't mind me asking?

This was pretty tricky...

I just had to find somewhere on the subframe that would get a piece of metal under. I could then use this a lever to get it high enough to get the jack under the sill.

Took about 15 mins.

[rctempire]

You were using one jack? Not even one wheel incase that happened? Very stupid i think.

However, you will learn.

 

[RichMcc]

This reminds me of the episode of the simpsons where homers changing the oil and the cars jacked up with a wicker basket and barts kicking it...

 

[C.slicker]

Yep one jack.

Lesson learnt though.

Sam

 

[mikey_172]

[mikey_172]

Think, if you were jacking that up on the motorway, and a truck went past and the wind blew around the car and caused it to topple. Ohh no. Hense why you stick a wheel under the car, incase it falls.

 

[mini-valver]

I think he's aware he should'nt have used a scissor jack now fellas, lol.

 

[GilesB]

You can get a pretty strudy pair of axle stands for £10. Always stick the wheels you have just taken off under the car as a back up.

I'm just glad you are reading that you did this rather than you just got back from the hospital with two broken legs.

If only they sold common sense in a pill.

 

[ditz]

you serious? if i did something like that i sure as fook wouldn't have posted it on here
ruined disk, bent hub, cracked drum? never jack a car up in the middle like that let alone with a scissor jack
thought i took risks lol

 

[Clio_Craig]

oops
lovely car though

 

[Ted_200]

I did'nt think them things look safe i used mine the other day, but put a proper jack as back up

 

[C.slicker]

If I was generally upset then I wouldn't post it up on here.

Tbh though I just think its funny and worth a laugh!

Yeah - I guess I just took a big risk - I knew there was a chance of it happening of course!

Cheers for the lovely car comment - you can make yours look like it if you want the parts?

no no no no son!!!!!!!!

I did a very similar thing when changing the gearbox on my old Chavalier although I did use axel stands.

I lifted the front end and placed the axel stands at the ends of the chassis rails. As I jacked the rear , the car began to move forwards as the axel stands were tipping over. I ended up with the car on the axel stands at 45 degrees, me swinging from the yet to be removed tow bar with one arm calling my dad with the other on my mobile.

I hate lifting a car off of all four wheels.

It's a 172 but I like tricking people :evil:

 

[Gary-Lew]

Good job your legs were not under the car when it fell, you should have put both wheels under the sills if you did'nt have axle stands mate if it did go it would drop onto the wheels instead of your leg/hand you can replace alloy wheels, glad your unhurt:nono:

 

[Peperami]

[JAY(182)]

Not good mate.......... Ive seen your car in corby glen... thought i noticed it

 

[C.slicker]

Argh... you don't have a blue ph1 do you?

With a twin exit 3" exhaust?

Sam

 

[C.slicker]

Tbh I would rather it fall on its side than the superleggeras!!!!!!!

I love those alloys!

Just for the record I am not insane enough to go under the car with it on a scissor jack!
