There is a long crossmember that runs right-left just aft of the radiator. Jack in the middle of this piece and secure jackstands on either side of the jack. Do not jack on the gusset or crossmember that goes front to back.

When jacking up the rear, I put a block of wood under the rear diff (if so equipped) and place jackstands on each side of the rear subframe

Good to know..

Better than the idiot who owned my car before me - thanks to that fool I had a dented oil pan and floor pan on both the driver and passenger footwells. New oil pan & pickup when I did the balance shaft elim kit and about an hour and a half with a 25lb hammer fixed the footwells.

I've yet to see a 1G without some "denting" of the oilpan. Though if you uses a block of wood to distribute load, you can jack the engine up (not the entire car) by it

Well, I guess I put the Jack in the right spot, but after seeing some pics of random 2G's on Jackstands..I am not so sure I did it right...Are 1G's different, where do you put the jackstands?? Pics would be best

Can someone else give some advice...I want to get the car up before I take it to AMS on wednesday next week

Look.. I've owned the same car you have for 15years and have told you specifically how to jack the car up place jackstands. Seriously, if you are still confused, maybe you should not be working on your own car

yeah I realize the spot you speak of but I was wondering if anyone had any pictures...thanks your help is appreciated, but don't start flaming at me for asking a question that I don't happen to be familiar with..I really don't want to screw the car up, so if you don't respond with pics or advice then don't respond at all...I know how to work on the car and I am very knowledged with the 4G63, I just am not so familiar with jacking them up and putting the jackstands on the right place...don't tell me if I should or Should not work on the car, you don't even know me..Pics please, if not, don't flame just press back and flame someone else's thread

Red = Jack
Green = Jack Stands

Well, these were taken before I saw these pics...it was like 2 weeks ago, did I put anything in the right spot..It doesn't seem to be in the right place...BTW: my car held fine:
Maybe theyre too big of pics, I hope not:

Looks like you put the jack in the right spot and not the jackstands. Personally, I pu the stands under where the a-arm bolt up to the car, it allows the jackstands to straddle them and keep the stands from slipping.
