any recommendations on a good scissor lift for a 914? I have a small garage so a 4 post or a 2 post would be to large. Can you drop engine/trans or is there too much in the way?

Anyone buy the harbor freight car lift? Looks very similar to the bendpak, has good reviews too.

I got one and have been pretty happy with it. I did have to make a ramp so I could clear the lift though. At the time, I wasn't sure how long I would be in the the house so I wanted a portable one and this one lifts it pretty high (granted I'm not very tall). But it is easy tor roll a chair underneath. If I knew I was going to stay a long time in the house, I'd have purchased the lift from Costco (Max jack? or something like that)

I put the 2x4 on the ramp to stop me from rolling too far forward so i was centered on the lift. I wish the arms were longer though because I tried to use it on a minivan and was unsuccessful because one side had the exhaust that was interfering with one of the lift points. But it works fine for the 914, a prius, and my kids cars (Corolla and Civic).

You will need to put install a end plug to HF lift, one of the reviews gave good advice that I used when picking and installing the electrical.
