Last summer I saw a vintage Corvette race crew with them. Way cool. T

Got one last Thursday myself love it. You know you can cut that twin hose down the center so you can bring the hoses in from the sides. How long does it take yours to go all the way up ? Mine takes a full minute.

Yes I think it takes about a minute as well. There are a couple minor pet peeves that I have: no master power switch in case the remote buttons get stuck (seen this before ) and relocate the carry handle more towards the center; the weight is not balanced. I'm probably going to make a wooden plank that goes across the lifting points for those vehicles that can only be lifted by the body seams. Other than that it works terrific!

Just talked to a guy on C5 section who has had one a couple of months. His raises at the same rate as ours so I guess that's how they are. Enjoy your lift I know I will.

Do they have a manual lock on them for after you raise them or does it depend on the hydraulics alone to hold the car up?

Mine came too. Both air nipples leak and don't hold air.. they leaked what the mfg calls "testing fluid" all over the floor.

I am supposed to be getting new air nipples today. I also had to turn my plastic electronics tray 90 to get it to fit. Not a big deal but necessary.

I ended up slotting the pump mounting holes in the metal tray 3/16" longer to make it fit.

I have to say.. once the parts got sorted.. this is a great product!

Lifts quick, lowers quick and holds the C3 really stable.

Very impressive hold with no leaking / lowering of lift once its stopped.

Strongly recommend it!
