Sorry for this really dumb question, but is there a place to put a jack stand when jacking up only one corner?

So say I'm jacking up the front driver side to pull the wheel off. The driver's side jack point is occupied by the jack. I'd prefer to put a jack stand to hold the car up. Where would I put it? Thanks

Your best bet is to get small wood, gktech, cusco, or race ramp wheel ramps to jack both fronts up by the center jack point (you will need a long jack) and then put the jack stand on the side you would like it to be placed.

You can jack the front up from here. Either go in directly with a low profile jack, or raise one side of the front with a second jack, then go in to access this point.

Slight thread hijack; where is the best point to position the jack to raise the back of the car (Coupe) when the front is on ramps? I need to level it out to ensure all of the oil is drained during oil & filter changes.

Does the coupe have the same rear center(off center) point like the hatch? Type R has a reinforced jacking point on the left side(driver side) next to the exhaust outlets.

I personally haven't jacked up the car in the back yet. But if you watch this video there is a rear spot to use.

I don't think all the oil ever comes out completely, however wouldn't more come out when front is tilted up as this puts the drain plug at the lowest position on the motor? Unless you refer to filling and I will to bottom level of dip drive car off ramps then let all oil settle and recheck and fill as needed.
