    Jacking the car up

    Ok I read through the owners manual and I cannot understand where they are telling you to jack up the car, I jack it up, but I am affraid I am putting it in the wrong spot.
    MSD Ignition Control: $330
    B20 Engine: $2000
    NOS System: $750
    The look on a cops face when you press the little red button and leave him in the dust: Priceless
    There are just some cars that cops cant catch, for eveyone else, theres NOS.

    If you're using a scissors type jack it goes about 4 inches behind the front wheel well or in front of the rear wheel well. YOu can tell it's in teh right spot because it's reinforced and there is a groove for the top of the jack to fit in. For a hydralic jack the front tow hook goes in the jack's lift cup. For the rear you'll see that the underbody comes to sort of a round point in the center about 3 feet forward of the rear bumper.

    depends on what kind of jack are you using ?
    best points for for jacking the whole front end or rear end ( using a hydrolick jack ! ) it is the base of the ring that you use to tow your car !
    if you want one side you can jack it @ the lower are connection to the chasis ! ( needs experience ! )

    using a jack like the one came with your car , there are 4 jackin points jusst like MIKE said !
    but don't work under your car with a jack like that !
