    Hello from the desert! Getting a new garage, so looking for inspiration!

    Hey there! Thanks, getting excited that I'll be able to start messing with it in less than a month!

    Hello from the desert! Getting a new garage, so looking for inspiration!

    Lol, I don't know if "exciting" is the word I'd use!

    Hello from the desert! Getting a new garage, so looking for inspiration!

    Oh dang! I lost my rear brake pads on one side *they literally fell out) on main coming into the tower corner before the main straight, that was a pucker moment!

    Hello from the desert! Getting a new garage, so looking for inspiration!

    Nice! I need to look into that for sure, thanks for sharing it! As for lifts, I've been looking at one of the bendpak units, but a friend of mine (who's my neighbor with the same floorplan as well, ha ha) recommended I look into Direct Lifts as well, which is here in AZ I believe.

    Hello from the desert! Getting a new garage, so looking for inspiration!

    Yeah, I've been a sucker for the Skylines since I was a teenager playing the original Gran Turismo game. I also have a 96 240SX that's my time attack build (I see you race with NASA, I do as well, although I've been taking my daily driver Subaru Legacy Spec.B out lately since the race car is...

    Hello from the desert! Getting a new garage, so looking for inspiration!

    Thanks! The A/C unit was a $3,500 upgrade from the builder, which was well worth it to me. Ceilings are just over 10ft at the lowest point. About 10.5 ft at the highest (there's a slight slope per code, lol). And yeah, I'll be getting a lift. Unfortunately have to do a 4 post, but it's better...

    Hello from the desert! Getting a new garage, so looking for inspiration!

    I'd like to, but this house is a limited custom developer house in a large "community", so my "options" are a bit limited. I do have a 12" RV gate on the side with the plans to put down concrete in the side yard for extra storage space. I have to be careful with working on anything outside...

    Hello from the desert! Getting a new garage, so looking for inspiration!

    For sure, I'll probably start a "build" thread as soon as I get the keys to the house and can really get started!

    Hello from the desert! Getting a new garage, so looking for inspiration!

    Yeah, I wouldn't have signed papers if I wasn't able to insulate and A/C the garage. I'm so over working in the garage when it's 115°F+ outside (and a lot more inside the garage). Summers are going to be my best time to get projects done since my wife is a teacher so she will be home during the...

    Hello from the desert! Getting a new garage, so looking for inspiration!

    ​​​​I think I can post pictures now, so here's the floorplan of the new garage: Here are a few pics of the status of the build as of a couple weeks ago: And here's a screen shot of my solid model of it, LOL!

    Nice! I'm on the opposite side of the valley from you in Queen Creek, LOL!

    Hello from the desert! Getting a new garage, so looking for inspiration!

    Another related project I will share once it goes under way, is a supplemental storage shed that I want to build to keep the clutter down in the garage itself. Limited to a 120 sq ft per city code without a permit, so I'm actually thinking about building two, but I'll start with one first, lol...

    Hello from the desert! Getting a new garage, so looking for inspiration!

    Yes sir, the garage is already built now. And the four post I'm looking at you won't have to drill. HOWEVER, I did take detailed pictures and measurements of where the cables were laid before the foundation was poured, ha ha! With that said, I don't want to drill until the builder's warranty is...

    Hello from the desert! Getting a new garage, so looking for inspiration!

    Hello everyone! My name is Steve, and I live in the greater PHX area in Arizona. My wife and I are moving into a new build in January, and I'm getting a new "over-sized" garage to play with, but I can't make up my mind on how I want to approach making it the most awesome garage I've ever had. So...
