    Drivesolo's Garage Build

    I got the shed up earlier last week. I'm pretty impressed w/ it, modest size (8' x 10') but it came together pretty well and didn't seem to be effected by a wind storm we had last week that blew down fences and knocked down trees in my neighborhood. I'm currently in the process of working out...

    My 1st real garage.

    From the looks of things you have a lotta fun in your garage. Nice! Great cars too, I have a particular soft spot for the blue S30 you have (a Devil Z in the works? :thumbup:). Is that another S30 (the green one) you've got there? That looks like it's gonna be a pretty sick locost. Very...

    Still working on getting everything stored away. Been tossing out and giving away a lot of stuff over the past few weeks. It feels good to 'purge' though. Put up a shelf next to the bench for some stuff. I'll probably be putting up more similar shelving and brackets as I finalize things...

    Yep, we have a unit in the attic above our laundry room that does just that. Originally I thought it was pumping air out of the house and contacted the builder and he explained what it was and what it did.

    Drivesolo's Garage Build

    The home's air and the air in the garage are kept separate in homes built today. As for running the car in the garage I usually leave the door open for that at times in the winter I've used a flex hose and left the door open just enough at the bottom to run it out but not in this garage and not...

    Are you referring to the Z? Yeah, it's a great car. In stock form it's decent, but once you start modding it, it's performance jumps drastically from what I've noticed. The most drastic improvement is going from a VLSD to a clutch-type (OS Giken Superlock) LSD. Next to R-comp tires, it's the...

    It's been a while since I've posted to this thread. But I'm happy to say I finally got the Max Jax installed and I'll be putting it to good use: Looks like the under-carriage of my car is cleaner than the body The garage is still quite a mess. I need more wall shelving to store...

    ^ Gotcha. I happen to have a SDS rotory hammer and a hammer drill too. Should make quick work of drilling the holes. I was able to find a 7/8th bit at a local hardware store for $36. I know that you can rent the bits from Home Depot, but since my availability to work on the garage is...

    LOL... that is SO true. If you look at the 6 different sections I did, you can see the progression of my flake distribution skills. Almost akin to the classic evolution of man picture.
