I've got the exact one :D.

Unfortunately I don't have a costco membership though, mate grabbed it for me.

@htial, I think $165 mentioned is normal price, so shouldn't change any time soon afaik...

I've got a membership... ...Well... ...Yuka does... ...But I don't know where my card is or if it's still valid... ...How long is the sale on for because I might get one for myself too...

Haha it's not a sale, it's just the price, I've been meaning to get one over the last 2 years just never gotten around to doing it, it started at $150! Although you have to be careful, apparently some ass goes in and buys pretty much all the stock and sells them on eBay for $240+ it's a bit hit and miss with the stock

EDIT: Let me know if your going PLEASE!

I've got a membership, and I've got the jack.. The jack is great, hasn't failed.. And they've got a 3 year warranty on em so if it ever f**ks up u don't need a receipt or the box, just bring the jack back and they replace or refund, no questions

That warranty only applies IF you keep your membership current for the whole time tho yeah?

I really should get one too... what should be 5 minute jobs on the car take me ages due to the old scissor jack!

Will they replace your car though lol

why would you not have stands when jacking up a car.. common sense to have stands and not to rely on a jack only..

not sure about that one. but yeh i think 5 pumps and its at full height, which is fkn HIGH!

i think its a pretty good jack, gf's dad has had one for about 2 years now with no issues at all.

and you also have wheels to take off after the cars jacked up...if the jack fails while you're lifting the car its only going to land on its wheels.. if you take the wheels off before using stands, then its your own fault.

and if you take the wheels off before lifting, i'd like to see a video.

not sure if I would be trusting a costco jack...

i've bought a few things there..quality is not their best point..cheap is..

Honestly I barely drive the car around anymore, I'm not jacking it up all that much these days I can justify buying a more expensive one, I'm just tired of my little POS. I have several Jack stands and service ramps so yea this is just a little cheap alternative which would be nice to have around. I'm not really looking for quality on this but a 7 page thread on JDM has prooved that this is good for just the once-in-awhile user. I ride my motorcycle more often now since summer is coming around and it's 100% fixed now (those that know me know I have been in a few....incidents....) :)

SCISSOR JACK? Hahah at least get an el cheap-o piston jack from scamco, crap-o-barn, or supershitauto. Although in saying that my friend has a modded scissor jack that works with his power drill....it's freaking awesome

      NC MX5

      Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.

      As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Nah. H2S. H2S is "rotten egg gas", which is what is associated with no cat. SO2 is equally nasty, and if you've ever smelt it you'll know all about it. More of a choking, acid in the back of the throat sort of thing. But you can only smell it in a narrow range up to about 1ppm. Above that, it irritates your mucous membranes, but you don't smell it.
