When installed the ramps are horizontal. (obviously not sitting like in the photo)

I made up a test piece with the angles (like in most ramps) at 90 degrees, also had them sitting down a little to give a bump edge.

Then decided at some time I might want to turn the wheels lock to lock, so flush and flat was how they ended up. Got a big range of track widths to accommodate too from a Vitara, Commo, Skyline, Aristo up to a Patrol. The toy tractor goes straight through the middle.

Really my first choice was expanded metal but it's so pricey up here and I would have had to buy 2 full sheets as they're only 1200x3000

After cutting and welding in all those bloody angles though..................

Looks awesome! Just a thought though, once you drive the car out on to the ramps, do you need to make a leap of faith?

Yes, using the step ladder until I pick up some more Forgeweld to build a walkway along the side.

Have finished the removable wheel stops now and the sliding tool tray so it rolls anywhere down the centre.

It's always a compromise.

A pit is great, you're at floor level, can use an engine crane etc but usually will cost a heap more than a ramp and you have to plan for steps, drainage and illumination.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
