Thanks for all the advice guys! I ran out of time to do it today, because i was testing the boost pattern in my new car. Seems good at just under 0.75 bar, fast dip and back to a steady 0.75 bar agagin...

Cheers, Paul.

ref : car ramps

most RX7\'s suffer the front spoiler being low down so 2 things i have done in the past

1 - get some DECENT planks of wood - put these on the ramp to make it longer and less of an angle - you get a nice slope doing this and the car goes up much easier - i use 2 short peices of scaffolding plans with support underneath

2 - buy 2 breeze blocks , 2 house bricks and some short planks - stand breeze blocks on the floor , place brick in front , put wood on bricks - drive car onto the breeze blocks - this will lift the car 4 inch - then use a trolley jack

something like this ( runs off to find pic )...

although you would place them under the 2 front wheels :D

From the look of your first 2 pics I have a very similar side skirt. I use a trolley jack and jack at the point where the indents are shown on your second pic and never had a problem. Just remember to put some axle stands under before you start working.

What I do is use the standard jack in the correct jacking point (on the ridge about 25cm back from the front edge) wind it up to the point you can get the trolly jack under..... then jack away with the trolly! once its at the correct hight I wind the standard jack up so it just sits on the jacking point..... just incase the trolly moves or drops away for any bizzar reason!!!
