xos Report post Posted September 2, 2013 Looks awesome! Did you have a hard time putting it all together? What were the total costs? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemlender Report post Posted September 2, 2013 Looks awesome! Did you have a hard time putting it all together? What were the total costs? No I had a company install it. Today a friend and I ran the electrical and air to it. Had to run a 220 line from the breaker. The lift was $3000. Install was $600. $150 in electrical supplies. I had the air compressor already. And my friend was free except for all the water he drank, lol. It was a scorching hot day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destructo Report post Posted September 3, 2013 That looks great! I need one for the house, and that's not a bad price in my book for a good four-post lift! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HannibalACP82 Report post Posted September 3, 2013 Is the new car the purple VT roadster you bought? I can't believe that hasn't been delivered yet or did that deal fall through? Nothing wrong with a Civic! Is that a white S2000 parked beside it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemlender Report post Posted September 3, 2013 You selling the SL when the new car arrives or is the lift your solution to expand the fleet? NO. Keeping the SL. The lift is my solution to expand. Ran out of room with just a 3 car garage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with a Civic! Is that a white S2000 parked beside it? Yes the Blu Scuro VT Roadster is the car going on top with the SL on bottom. It is on its way here now and I will have in less than 7 days :-) Took a long time because of the Monterey Show and parts. There will be plenty of pics when it arrives. Yes I know there is nothing wrong with a Civic. It does a great job as a DD driving 125 miles a day to my stores. The White car is a Porsche 996 911TT Cab. Fun car pushing 600hp.

Now that you said a 996 Cab I feel like an idiot that I missed that! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpegs13 Report post Posted September 3, 2013 NO. Keeping the SL. The lift is my solution to expand. Ran out of room with just a 3 car garage. If you want more room, have the center motor taken out and install a direct drive motor on the side of the door. It eliminates the center bar drive chain and drive motor in the middle of the garage Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jpegs13 Report post Posted September 4, 2013 Is Bendpak the only lift you looked at? I was looking @ Rotary Revolutions. I have the Rotary Revolution (see post #7). They're basically the same, the dealer in my area was a Rotary dealer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
