was just wondering if anyone can give me some ideals on what type of ramp i needa be making. i just got my v2 front put in, the sides and rear on monday, but i cant make it up my driveway anymore, and i havent even installed my tanabe gf210 springs yet.. at this point, i dont think ill be able to drop it anymore
i cant redo my whole driveway becuase i have 7 cars park at my house, and redoing the driveway takes to much time and money, and parking outside in the streets at night will get us parking tickets after 3AM i think.
i was thinking about some kind of wooden ramp or something, anything that can make my car go up without hitting anything. can someone help me out with some ideals or pointers? i tired www.jandkcurbramps.com, ordered one of thier ramps but that dont help at all with the way my driveway slopes
btw from the pics, the driveway seem like i can angle a bit, but in person, i have no room at all, i have to take it almost at a striaght dive. going at a angle will lead to driving off the curb or hitting it.
thanks

 

Put a few 2x4s down or go backwards up the driveway.

 

back into it???

 

i tired backing in and out, it makes everything a whole lot worst, even with my stock bumper, when going backwards i scratch so bad i thought i was gonna find my bumper on the floor when i get out of the car.

 

I think backing up will still get you scraping. I say professionally get some asphault laid, that way there is no down time and you can have a nice clearable entry.

 

+1

 

how much would it cost to add asphalt to my driveway? and how long does it take for those to dry?

 

lol, damnit. if you cant get your z up that driveway....i now have no hope in getting mine up my driveway when i get my setup next month. my driveway is a damn hill compared to that.

guess shell be an outside z from there on =(

 

Mine is almost exactly like yours except more extreme. You have to hit it at a wide angle and then straighten out.

Or nail together a temp wood platform like this...the darkest layer is the bottom. You'll need to layer metal slats in there as well for reinforcement.

 

+1, there hasn't been a driveway I can't get in at an angle. Just takes a little practice.

 

i tried angleing from both ways, had 3 friends watching me while i pull up slowly, when i started scraping i had to back up..left white scrap marks on the floor, and scrap marks on my brand new bumper on the bottom only.

 

Honestly, that drive way is not bad at all.

 

iv tried angleing from the right and left, with 3 people watching, no hope

 

this is a perfect example of modyfying your car to the point it's not even practical.

 

GTFO

 

does asphalt come in a bucket and i can slap on or is it a mix with a bunch of other stuff?

 

you're not going to be able to go to many places if your driveway is the worse you've seen so far. i've seen some parking exits that are much more evil than that.

i would do the 2x4 thing like it was suggested. cheapest thing and quickest too.

 

I've used asphalt patch in the past,,,(not for automotive reasons, of course) But it comes in 50 pound plastic bags, and you just apply it how ever you want(no mixing),,,in your case to even out the angle of the slope....here's an example http://www.labsafety.com/search/asph...sredirect=true

Might look kinda ghetto to some people, but it just might save your car.

 

Sadly this is why I will never be able to drop my car

 

well i never said my driveway was worst, in fact, my driveway isnt all that bad. the thing that i hate about it is that i cant get out in an angle, tried with my stock bumper and ill just drive off the curb. and cant get in from an angle or ill just run up the curb. and takeing a striaght/slightly angle dive in and out causes me to scrap pretty bad.
i havent tried driving out with the new bumper yet, cuz im having trouble trying to get it in..and if im having trouble getting in, ill forsure not gonna be able to get it out.
