Jack for GT3

[johnrs4]

Wanted to take the wheels off my GT3 but my trolley jack wont fit under so went to look for the jack that I assumed was in the car and couldnt find one. Does this mean it is missing or do they not come with one? If not then any suggestions as to the best type to get?

Just find a plank of wood or something similar to put under the front wheels, or a slope that you can drive up enough to raise the front wheels - problem solved!

I got a low entry trolley jack when I had the Noble, was about £80 from demon tweeks.

If you can justify it then this is the one to go for:

Thanks Mark worked a treat

I use a mini-ramp mad from a couple of pieces of wood screwed together, just enough to get a normal jack under. Also, the GT3 doesn't come with a jack (no spare wheel, so why would you need one) - instead we get a can of squirty foam filler goo.

I have also got an air jack which is excellent - quick to use and can lift 2 wheels at a time, but can't get a coupling to fit the GT3, so have to use another car to inflate it - pity.

Must admit dont understand not having a jack as even though I dont have a spare wheel I still may want to change them at home or do other work on brakes etc.

When I bought my Mk1 GT3 Clubsport a couple of years ago the idea of not having a spare or even a jack did not appeal.

I bought a jack and spare wheel with the collapsable tyre that is standard with a Turbo. Once the polystyrene tray is removed this fits flat on the floor of the front boot. The thread for the securing screw was already in the floor as standard.

Not certain which wheel is required for a Mk2 with the larger front brakes.

What to do with the removed wheel if you have a passenger is another matter though.
