Bob,
I've been thinking of trying a set of ramps with the TR3, providing nothing
scrapes the floor of the garage when driving on or off. The car sure is
built close to the ground. I now use a hydraulic floor jack and jack
stands, which are a pain to set up and take down.
Questions on the ones from BJ's:
Do they raise the car high enough to do work underneath easily? What is the
height?
They don't slide on the floor when you're trying to drive up?
In your opinion, is the 17 degree incline enough to clear a TR3?
Thanks,
Sumner Weisman

This may come through twice - sorry
Temperatures took a turn down this past week in Connecticut so I put the top
up for the first time since May. This is a new top, installed in Aug 98,
put up in Sept 98 and left up until I put it down last May. Crystal clear
windows in May. Totally fogged over windows last week! I tried cleaning them
with everything I could think of, to no avail. Then I found Blue Magic
Plastic and Plexiglas Cleaner at Pep Boys. Rub it on. Buff it off. Crystal
clear windows again. The bottle even recommends using their Blue Magic Metal
Polish on the plastic to make it shine even more. Best $3.00 I've spent on
the car so far.
I also picked up a pair of "Rhino Ramps" at one of the warehouse clubs
(BJ's). Heavy duty composite material, honeycomb construction, 17 degree
incline, $25.00. Nothing hits front or rear going up and down them.
