i feel like jacking it from the rear like that would put alot of torsional stress on the entire frame/chassis.
i'm just a guy with a lowered/stock bodied s13. i get down on one knee, slide the jack in there, ram the gas tank a little, and before i know it, she's up in the air! |

Another idea.
Run a steal plate 5"wide x width of the frame rails. Then mount this bad-boy to it! right in the center. - Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices My S13 is apx 12" off the ground where this would mount up under/behind the bumper. At full jack, that would raise me apx 12-16" Would be cool to rig it so that you just slip on a power drill to a small rod sticking of your bumper or somethin. |

You know they make 12V scissor jacks, right? One on each side, at the OE jack points, bingo. Car is raised. Takes what, 20 seconds each side? Plus you can carry one in place of the OE scissor jack, the other in the spare tire well. No taking up room, no big, bulky items to carry, no crying about having to use (gasp) your own muscles. Hell, buy four and raise all four corners.
Seriously, if you're at a track event and the extra 5 minutes required to jack the car up is an issue, what type of tracking are you doing? Maybe drifting is different (I wouldn't know, I'm not ghey) but autocross, grip, anything else you have a good 20-30 minutes between runs, and plenty of time before and after to change wheels. If you need to change shit that fast, rent a pit crew.

I be a little worried about it removing the empty space between your gas tank and the rear bumper structure.
Anything back there is just a rear ending away from a possible fire. |

Not on an S14/S15... fuel tank's above and in front of the differential. Additionally, I think that if S13s tended to ignite when rear-ended, we'd hear more about it... seeing as how everyone seems to have crashed an S13 at some point on this forum. Just sayin.

Forgot about the fuel tank being where it is in the S13.
I was going off a picture of the product that showed it between the tank and bumper reinforcement on some other car. I used to make custom trailer hitches for Z cars and spent a lot of time making sure that I did not make the car a fire trap. |

I made something like this for my car not to long ago. I notched the bumper support and then welded a scrap piece of C-channel to the bottom of it. Then some spare 1.5 dom tubeing and another piece of C-channel for "pad" for the jack to sit on. Kind of crude but it works for me, easier then taking of aero plus using ramps to get a jack under the car.

Even with a tow bar connected to the front of another S13, it would be too much stress pulling on the trailer hitch (again mounted to the bumper support). If the trailer hitch could somehow be attached at the frame-rails, like all other trailer hitches, then maybe (still doubt it) *edit* how freakin cool would it be to have the Daily Vert tow the Track Vert - lol |

like this one keep all 4 wheels on the ground, and angle it to reduce tounge weight to a minimum but still it would be kinda lame to do that. the only reason i looked into this system is it would be a cheaper alternative to a full trailer. but hope you don't fuck up your car other wise you will be SOL
