Phase 1 is complete :)

[Supra_James]

First post on here, but been lurking for awhile. Many good ideas have come from here. Thank you all for that. Now on to the summation...

A normal, lived in 3 car garage with 4 yrs of wrenching. Cleaned it, built shelving, added a UCoat floor, and did the 2 tone walls. This is phase 1.

Phase 2 is to start building a shed in the back yard for all lawn equipment and storage. Also bring out a spare computer, old surround sound system, and fridge. With any luck, phase 2 will be done in 30 days.

On to the pics....


Before...

During...

End Phase 1...

Project AE86 and some lumber for the shed

That is all for this phase. UCoat and the wall idea came from this site

 

[sexymopar]

hehe, welcome here, and welcome in the grey, red and white club

you've done a good job, and keep us updated with the phase 2 with all your equipment

 

[Supra_James]

thanks bro. Your's looks great too. Garages are becoming an addiction like modding cars... just want to keep going!

You know the hardest part of the whole thing was getting a clean cut off line for the grey and red. My garage walls are textured, so there was really no good way to get the blue tape to seal flush.

Nice garage!! (and cars)

 

[stricht8]

Nice garage. OK, admit it. Those are Horror Freight jack stands and jack in the corner aren't they? Just kidding. I actually like HF.

 

[Jiffycake]

Whole lotta rice there eh? lol. Awesome garage, I could only imagine having a garage half the size of that. I'm only 17 and I have a fairly large 1 car garage, I have to share it with our pack rat tenants though!

Harbor Freight FTW! It is actually like 4 miles from my house

Rice? I guess so. The evo I take to road course events. The wife wanted it for her DD, so I didn't complain. The Supra makes around 1100 rwhp. It's stroked, T6 turbo, twin 44mm WG's, 1600cc injectors, AEM, 5" exhaust, etc.... here is a bad shot of the engine bay... (excuse the dirt, been busy on the garage)

The truck is my DD and the corolla (rwd @ 2000lbs) is going to be a all out road race car. My balls out training wheels if you will. Alot cheaper to wreck it then one of the other cars

Those Corolla AE86's are supposedly a lot of fun when set-up right, might end up being the funnest car of the bunch when completed. I had the same family of motor in my old Prizim GSi and it loved to rev.

Good work on the garage, wish I had a 3-car.

 

[thetastelingers]

Good stuff. Kudos to the wife for the EVO as a DD.
I have always wanted a Supra. Never pulled the trigger though..

You helped me get a little closer to buying the mud to do the rest of my drywall.
I want Ucoat it too.

get it done bro. I'm am amazed at the UCoat stuff. So tough. Has already laughed at my jack stands and jack. I have noticed puddles of water remain in tact for about 24hours... that's a good seal! Cost for a 3 bay was ~$475 shipped.

As for the supra, I love that car. I just wish I hadn't gone so big on the build.

That supra is hot. Not sure if I've seen it somewhere (on the net) before or not, though it looks familiar somehow. I can't think "Supra" any more without seeing that funny graphic with the looping horsepower curve in my head. Maybe a little off topic, but is it drivable at all on the street, or is there enough lag to make it usable?

Well done on the garage, looks really good- clean and purposeful.

Thanks bro

drives just fine on the street. 27lbs on down I can run a 315x17 Nitto DR. For 28lbs up to 43lbs I run a 325x50x15 Mickey DR. It runs on E85 and track tek 118.

43# of boost?!?!

Whoa.

Whoa.

Gotta love the 2JZ. I used to have a Supra but went the dark side and bought an RX7 instead.

Also, the garage is making me want to epoxy my floor too .

 

[Supra_James]

43# of boost?!?!

Whoa.

It's pretty insaine at that level. That's set on kill. Race gas mode is usually 34-37lb range. Guys have gone above that, but I'm not willing to window my block. The block has a partial fill of concrete to add a bit of safty at that stress level.


RX7's kick ***! There is a local one running around at 490ish hp. Awesome car. I would love one for a road race car (v8 swap only of course )

So I see MO tags. However the only Supra guy I know around here named James has a silver 98 and a fox with a TT motor. What part of MO are you in? Nice garage setup so far.. my only complaint (as is yours) is that it'd be nice to have a few more feet of depth to stack up toolboxes, workbench and spare parts shelves. Are those BBS?

I had an AE86 coupe awhile back.. ended up selling it on ebay for some retarded amount to some kid from NJ. Not a bad trade.. running a 240sx, NX2000, fox mercury now & have an old dato roadster waiting in the wings right now.

Thanks bro. I would love to see pic of that Dato. I love those old cars. A 510 2 door is something I would love to add to the collection one day. As for depth, I know what you mean. This is my first home, and I've learned alot from it for little stuff for the next one.

I've seent he fox with TT motor on supraforums. Really cool build. I'm down in the springfield area. There are 10 supras in town that I know of. Of those, only one is on stock twins

BBS? Like as in wheels? The wheels on the sup are CCW classics.

what size is your garage? Length and width?
