slownrusty Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Well I recently moved and I am in heavan (I think my bank is too..I see the enxt 30years flash infront of me!)...I have had some crappy garages to work in over the past years and when I lived in Toronto, I used to do oil changes etc outside on the snow in the middle of winter on my back as I did not even have a garage.... I saved and saved and just bought this older home and it has a very private 4 car garage all finished, it has AC and heated, full cabinets and cupboards (tons of storage) and a full bathroom and cable TV as well! My friends say that I should live in the garage and rent out the house...LOL...! So my Turbo ZX project is starting tomorrow in it...should be a nice change working with actual space to work in... Thought I would share! Its still messy from the move... Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the same kind of garage that I envision for myself: enough room for the Suburban, my company car, and the Z, and the bikes, and the scooter, and the parts, and the cherry picker, and the.... Man, that is a great garage and you should be VERY happy with it. Older homes have some great amenities that the newer ones typically don't. Great choice!!!

olie05 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 looks great! It seems as if someone (at some point) added another garage in front of the existing one... Interesting concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 Good eyes Olie! It was an original 2 car and then the previous owner added the extra two car onto it. He was a trim carpenter and needed the room, its cool as he retained both garage doors. Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mentallylost Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 You have my dream garage. Half for my auto projects. And half for a woodshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid240z Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I was thinking of doing the same thing with my garage but was wondering if my neighbors behind me would mind. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexideways Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Talk about a real garage, that place is more than great!!!! P.S.: I love your little mazda, what do you have goin' on for it? Me and one of my friends are bulding him an 4wd 1990 protege with turbo, the car looks like crap witch just adds to the fun when we spank some unsuspecting high $$$$ machinery. Be carefull though, if you keep up this pace, you'll need a bigger garage soon LOL. Very happy for you. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slownrusty Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 Thanks for all the comments and feedback guys! Alex - The car has the B6T it is essentially a Turbocharged Miata motor. I have upgraded it to 14psi, larger fuel pump, 2.5" exhaust, re-programmed ECU, fully poly bushings on the suspensions, Tokicos all the way round with Pedders lowering springs. Corbeau seats too anf the Rota wheels. Car weights 2250lbs and I am figuring its about 180ish hp....its fun! My goal is to eventually put down 200whp.
