How To: Safely Jack Up The MR2 Spyder

[@Trickey1]

Good video, but couldn't see anything it's too dark and blurred.

Before you raise the front of the car, make sure to chock the rear wheels. And once the car is on all four jack stands, give the car a good shake! Better to fall now rather than with you underneath it!

[@twrcrew8852]

also; "your jack will always be centered" is misleading. You should always turn the wheels of the jack just before it's fully loaded to the orientation that the jack will start to travel IN ORDER to stay centered. many novice "mechanics" total things when they let those pivoting wheels remain misaligned as the jack raises the vehicle and the resistance of the jack's crooked wheels being planted into a crevice or simply perpendicular enough to it's travel path so as to be able to stop the jack from rolling forward WILL start to slide the foot of the jack off the frame as it lifts the car and then you end up slamming down the weight of the car into something you really didn't want to with a raised jack.

Thanks for the info. Was unaware of the front jacking point...

Awesome little tutorial.. Mine is now safely up on stands :)

Awesome videos man! Looking forward to seeing more. When I jacked up the rear of my car, it did not jack up evenly on both sides. One side was a CM or two higher than the other. Was this your experience as well? Thanks and keep up the awesome work!

Thanks for the video! You could use an app and edit this video to bring in some light...

hey im thinking about buying an mr2, should i?

[@themr2n00b4]

please redirect all "should I buy an MR2" questions to the most helpful and sarcastic MR2 Spyder forum on the web, spyderchat.com/forums ! Also there are three generations of the MR2. One had a stock supercharger option, one had a stock turbo charger option, and the third generation (this one) which was the best handling, lightest, and convertible.

Would a Daytona 3 ton jack be overkill on the horseshoe

[@MrJhuber46]

Buy a work light !

Interesting sound bite, no video, just a black screen with vague pale areas. Might have been useful otherwise.
