So we just moved into a house and when we went to pull our cars in the garage the bottom dropped out underneath the car causing it to scrape as we entered. Basically, we couldn't pull our cars into the garage. I have a 350z Nismo which is somewhat lower than the standard and my boyfriend has an extremely lowered 240sx, his car actually go hung and almost got stuck onto the garage. So we found a solution, check out these cool ramps that were built so the cars wouldn't scrape!








As you can see with the last photo, I was able to pull the car in with no problems!

 

Nice handiwork!

 

You're going to want to spray that with some textured rhino lining (rubberized bed liner) for traction in the rain, or your car may slide off of it. You also definitely want to cover it with something like mentioned above if it isn't treated wood, or it won't take long to begin to rot and then fail under the weight of the car.

 

Lolol

 

Form follows function. I like innovation and do it yourself stuff.

 

Great idea but like the others said, treat the wood or spray the bedliner stuff on it. A driveway like that would be a deal breaker in my book. 15k off the asking price please!

 

pics of the 240sx.

and +1 for the nismo.

 

The Nismo looks normal height to me...?
At any rate,sometimes you gotta do what you goota do.
As Z owners,I'm sure everyone has has a problem getting up on drive-on
ramps.Even with stock suspensions.
Although your ramps are functional,I could not get away with them being
a permanent fixture in my driveway.My wife would not be pleased.I would'nt
either.Aesthetically they look pretty bad.I agree,you need some coating of sorts.
Wood is gonna rot/gets slick.A gray colored textured material to match your concrete
would help.Last I looked,you can get this no skid stuff in rolls.Not sure on how good
the adhesive would work.I imagine,a good seal job of the wood's surface would have to be done first.

 

You should be able to get the bed liner stuff in a grey that will blend a little better with your driveway. A quick google search found an example of color matched rhino lining: http://www.rhinoliningsofflatirons.c...oroptions.html

 

very nice. looks like you may need some for the sloped entrance at the bottom if you ever lower your car.

 

may want to treat those supports for awning while you're at it.

My HOA would have a field day with this, but like others mentioned... .when we shopped houses, the driveway was a deal breaker on two. My girl even told the realtor, that's a bad driveway for sportscars and we'll likely always have one... next. she's a keeper.

props on the DIY though....

 

I'm confused. Is the OP a girl or a guy?

 

use fiberglass and resin to seal the wood like you would if you were building the deck of a boat, it will be solid and definitely not rot. when you go to paint, buy some nonskid to mix in with the paint as if you were going to paint the deck of a boat. problem solved

if girl awesome, if guy wouldn't surprise me

 

Very nice work! I wouldn't mind doing that to my driveway.

 

Nice! Your driveway looks intense.

 

We just moved in so we haven't had time to spray the liner for the tires. The wood is treated we just need to spray it with a gray color to match the driveway. This house is a rental so I really don't care how it looks on the driveway as long as we can pull ours cars in. The bottom of the driveway isn't that bad, you just pull in and back out at an angle.

For the guy that wanted pictures:

 

nice ramps! I may be having to carry something like this to get out of my winding driveway into the road. Are they bolted/screwed down or moveable?

Just an added note, this may be a red flag to thieves. If they are any kind of educated in car theft, they will know why those ramps are there. Usually indicates something valuable on the other side.

 

LOL.....Um I'm a girl (born a girl), will always be a girl.

 

sometime born a guy but doesnt alway stay to be a guy

but anyway...any of you guys have solution for me ??? i have to deal with this **** every single days 365 days a week...im scare is that one day i "accidently" back out too fast and might damage my Topsecret
the entrance is not like a steep like your but it like a hump for waterway ...is ****ing suck .... and that is exactly how i get out of my drive way every single day

 

The boards are actually nailed in using this machine gun like tool. It sounded like a shotgun going into the pavement, so powerful it just went through the boards and deep into the concrete. They don't budge! Luckily for us we live in a fairly safe area where most people don't know what a modified import car is..LOL. However, that's not to say it couldn't happen but we have pretty cool neighbors and hopefully that won't be an issue.
