Did you add any extra foundation for the bolts and stuff? Or is it the standard pad for the garage? I just want to make sure that I have all my ducks in a row.. I had a good tax return this year and with me doing all the maintenance on my cars I feel like the lift is justifiable
Yes machine shop is studding the crank right now. 9/16th head stud going down the center. I gave them this sketch I got from another guy as a guideline along with my own instructions.
No standard pad is fine. Their instructions say your pad should be at least 6" thick I think. Mine was 5 1/2 or something close. Never an issue. Of course I'm not lifting 6000 lbs either which I think is what the lift is rated for.

Yea I wouldn't max out the lift either, It would be the Cobra at 3100lbs, and my race rolla which is a whooping 2xxxlbs lol.. Good to know man.
You're killing it with the car.

Just buy a $20 tester. Really not a big hassle to test your fuel. Little water, little E85 and shake. Malcolm's system will be awesome when finished, but most people should be fine testing at the pump.
I gotcha. Yea man he is on it!!!! Lol That's the whole reason I wanna go E85 to begin with. Seeing all these hardcore Terminator guys swear by it! I've been reading up on it for weeks now haha
It made my 2.9 Whipple car wake up for sure. Feels like a different animal.
Thats awesome that your studding the crank! So are you planning to keep the TVS and spin it harder?
Yeah TVS is staying. Going to leave pulleys the same 2.8 / 4. IAT2 and cooling results would be all messed up if I changed blowers and pulleys now.
I am bumping the CR though for some more power. Old motor was 10.5, this one will be 11.5.
Man you are doing some excellent work on the Terminator. Bravo sir.
I spy that TT P car that you always wanted. I need to see and hear more on that ASAP.
98 Saleen Cobra,
I just put a lift in also. I was looking at the MaxJax as well and had planned to get one. I know many guys with it and it's a great unit. However, I ended up with an Atlas from Greg Smith Equipment after reading about it on garagejournal.com. It's not much more money but it can lift a little higher as long as you have the ceiling for it. It's not removable/portable like the Maxjax though. http://www.gregsmithequipment.com/Atlas-BP8000

The Cobra is always my main car that I really love but the 911 has been a child hood dream since as early as I can remember. A couple years ago it finally became a reality.
Lots of cool extras on it. Ceramic rotors, GT2 spec Fikse wheels, GT2 rear deck lid and wing, and a whole ton of stuff I won't bore you with. Bigger turbos of course, custom exhaust, light weight RS3 flywheel and clutch etc. Around 600 AWD hp on 91 pump gas. PSS9 coil overs and drives like its on rails. The original owner tracked the car so it's setup for road coarse.
That lift you posted there looks very nice too. I went the maxjax route due to low ceiling height. The intent was to move it upstairs to another garage setup I have with much higher ceiling later but that never happened lol. It just stays down in my main work area.

Thank you for the link! I'll have to check it out. The lift will be purchased in the next few months, so I have some time. I do like the removable option though.
Man I love the Porsche. Congrats!!! Fikses are so damn nice too. 600 wheel in that car is a blast for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah the MaxJax is a badass unit and is perfect for low ceilings.
You're welcome. The Atlas is made in China but I did my homework. Everyone has had great things to say about it from a reliability standpoint. I installed mine and it's made well too. Yes the removable option on the MaxJax is a plus. Especially if you have limited garage space to begin with. I have 10'-4 ceilings in the garage. With the GTR on the lift I get about 5'-11" of ground clearance under it. Anyway enough highjacking. Just saw your comment and thought I'd share another option. I didn't see spending double for a Bendpak with my limited usage. PM me if you have any questions.

Awesome thanks for the pics buddy .. Love some lift talk/hijack

Since the radio is an unused ornament in my car and has been pretty much since I've owned it I finally swapped it out for something I'll actually enjoy and use.
That's live data from my car you see above there too. It syncs wirelessly with my car.
Its essentially a tablet with the Shadow Dash app from EFI Analytics running on there. It syncs wirelessly to my MS3-Pro.
I mocked it in place with some tape and then siliconed it down forever lol.
It's pretty slick. Not only can you customize what ever gauges you want where ever you want but you can also set a bunch of checks as you can see below. For example if data logging has failed or the SD card is not present it'll light up the appropriate square red. Or perhaps the flex fuel sensor has failed or is giving an abnormal reading out of range it'll light up that square red so right away I know there's something going on I need to look at.
The other really slick part is I used an app "auto sleeper" that monitors the cars ignition power. So when I turn the key on the display lights up and activates. When I turn the key off it'll wait X number of seconds that you can set and it'll turn the display off and put the tablet into sleep mode.
It works really quick and well. Gives the display and OEM feel since it comes on and off automatically with the ignition key.

This is pretty sick and clean install . So the main reason you added the MS3-pro is the E-85?
You still be able to run the J&S safeguard and your own module with the MS3-pro

Awesome stuff!
Holy hell I'm loving what you're doing with the setup! that dash and ms3 will be awesome. Nice choice on rods, if/when I need engine work I'll be using the molnar's. Haven't heard an ounce of negativity with them and the price is too good to pass up. who's doing your pistons?
Also what's the details on that heat exchanger? I would be very tempted to do something like that on mine and want to ditch the bumper support anyways.

Dont waste your time on that. if wanting something to monitor ethanol content get the innovate kit. it does way more for the same price. it's a wideband, boost gauge, ethanol content and fuel temp gauge all in one and can datalog with it when setup for it. I'm extremely close to pulling the trigger on one.

Wow that's quite the kit. I really don't need a wb kit, I already have one.
