Just think how many extra you can buy and store 🙂 Cracker of an idea, and you're very welcome. Just keep my phone number from your wife, I don't need her calling me to abuse me!

About $5k yea?🤣 The minimum is; bottom car height + top car height + deck thickness + lock clearance. Most lifts recommend 150mm for clearing the locks but the vast majority need nowhere near that. Finally are there any ceiling obstructions? One of my garages is 3100mm to the ceiling but the panel lift controller is at 2750mm. You can install a side lifter to maximise space however they are exy. Ideally you want 3600mm minimum, however they can be installed all the way down to 2400mm depending on the cars. Example: (991.2 GT3 = 1271mm) + (Emira = 1225mm) + (Bendpak HD9 thickness = 114mm) + (lock clearance = 150mm) = 2760mm ceiling height minimum.

WGA Posted 19March, 2023 Report Share Posted 19March, 2023 I have been keeping the plates of most of the Porsches I have owned over the years with a view of doing a garage wall of cars and their respective plates. Started the project today with more to come. DM911, sleazius, Yeatesy and 9 others 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleazius Posted 28March, 2023 Report Share Posted 28March, 2023 Starting a bit of a garage project that I've been meaning to do for a while. New door openers (jackshaft), new concrete, lifts. Potentially will raise the ceiling too. Also want to extend it but that will have to wait (council). Will posts updates here as I go. hugh, GC9911 and TwoHeadsTas 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleazius Posted 29March, 2023 Report Share Posted 29March, 2023 Installing - trying to get away with a Merlin before I stump up the cash to a Liftmaster 8500, I need 6, and the cost saving is about $800 per unit, so giving this a crack first.

As with any door controller make sure you balance the door via the springs to reduce the load on the motor, BE CAREFUL TENSIONING THE SPRING.

Door is already balanced otherwise I wouldn't attempt this myself. I'm not going near the springs, don't want to meet this guy GC9911 and AndrewM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleazius Posted 20March Report Share Posted 20March Not a flex, just showing my garage set up with the p-cars that the forum cares most about, also the autostacker which I know people have asked about in the past. If that pisses anyone off tough shit - this is a garage thread on a Porsche forum after all! GC9911, 3legs, MFX and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
