Thanks !! I wanted a set of the Old Skool Fab CF guards. I just didn't have $250 at this moment . LOL!!! The ZL1's look good & should do the job just fine. I'm happy with them.
I'm sure they are awesome....they are a solid company! I love my Old Skool Fab guards too....you can't go wrong with either one! Best of all no rock chips!! Is Top Sportsman in your name like NHRA Top Sportsman??
Yes. I had my 1998 Mustang bodied Vanishing Point race Cars chassis registered for IHRA Top Sportsman. I wasn't fast enough to make the National event races. they were pretty much 6 second fields. I ran it on the divisional level. This what I sold to buy my CTR.
That's awesome. I used to race NMRA Super Street Outlaw and I won the AMRA stock world championship in 1994. I still have a few Mustangs and my Camaro left though! I pass by Vanishing Point almost weekly on the way to Ocean City.Yes. I had my 1998 Mustang bodied Vanishing Point race Cars chassis registered for IHRA Top Sportsman.

Hello,
Sure, its an ezcarlift. I ordered it from here about a month ago:
https://www.ezcarlift.com/
It’s a bit on the pricier side. Went back and forth deciding whether to pick one up or try a cheaper option... (or spend the money on other car mods, lol)
For the Type R is was:
$1740 for the lift
$79 for ramp extensions (CTR needs these)
$175 shipping
+ Sales tax I think.
I also had to buy a corded (2) speed drill to operate it, so that was another $150 or so. I went with DeWalt.
Ultimately I took the plunge after reading the many positive reviews + I like the portability. It’s held together by (8) nuts and bolts. Remove these and it breaks down into (4) pieces.... (2) ramps and (2) crosspieces which can be stowed in our hatchback with the seat down if I ever want to take to the track or a friends house. I also like that it is screw jack based rather than hydraulic.
Customer service is probably the best I have encountered from any company. The owner Boytcho Manev seems to really take pride in each unit he sells and was very patient and helpful answering questions via text pretty much at any time of the day. Shipping was fast.
When I decided to buy, I was having all kinds of rock and dust issues making my brakes squeal which was driving me nuts. I was thinking it would be useful to have something like this to jack the car up without damaging it to remove the wheels and clean the brakes.. of course, shortly after buying I found the brakes can be kept clean by spraying them real well with a pressure washer, when washing the car. I’ve had no more issues with brake squeal since I started doing this smh.
The first time I used it to swap out the (2) front tires. One of my (2) front OEM rims was bent
Yesterday was the first time for an oil change and to get underneath the car. Replaced my transmission fluid today. I raised it nearly to its full working height of (26) inches and it surprised me how much clearance that turns out to be. That gives plenty of room to work and makes things really easy. The oil filter was on really tight and it would have been a much tougher task if I had less room to work with to get it loose.
The ezcarlift is raised and lowered using a corded 2 speed drill. Lower speed when need more torque for initial lifting and fast speed once it’s going. I saw a YouTube video where it took some dude several minutes to raise it. I think he was using a crappy drill. Mine raises (2) mins or less.
It has (4) small caster wheels so it can be rolled around easily and positioned under your car.
Once the lift is raised the feet set down and lift is rock solid.
Build quality is excellent and it looks great. If there is a downside: fully assembled it is heavy and awkward if you are alone and trying to lift it to lean it against a wall. With a buddy it would be no problem. If you have a garage and can stow it under a car, no problem either. My garage is full of old arcade games so this isn’t an option for me. I don’t want to leave it out to rust.
I disassemble mine each time I’m done with it.
Each ramp weighs about 60 lbs.
I’ll snap some more photos and post
Regards
Tom
I could always convert it back but then you lose the "resale" value etc... Oh real estate...
Wow !! Very nice collection of race cars!!! I didn't know VPRC had reopened in Maryland. My car was built when Jim Geese was in Telford, PA. then they closed shop. Next thing I heard on Jim was he had a chassis shop near Winder, Ga. It wasn't called VPRC, it was R2B2 Race Cars. Jim does great work. Sadly, my drag racing days are over but a new door has opened. It's called the Type R!!!That's awesome. I used to race NMRA Super Street Outlaw and I won the AMRA stock world championship in 1994. I still have a few Mustangs and my Camaro left though! I pass by Vanishing Point almost weekly on the way to Ocean City.
Great shop no doubt! I am done with drag racing "race cars" myself! Hurry up and wait to make 3 passes in a day has worn out it's welcome with me! I love the Type R, much like you. I'm going to sell off the Camaro, which I built from a shell in 1994 and the Blue 04' Cobra....I never have time for either one and I'd rather have the money!!
Are they just stick on? Mind if I ask how much they charged for shipping from the UK?
Pimpmycivic carbon fiber vent overlay.
