Now there's a shed I can relate to.

I see you even have the laptop in there so you san surf SAU while in the company of your toys :P

Mine gets a big clean up after an event - leading up to the events the shed tends to look a lot like yours, with bits and tools everywhere. :rofl:

old man got stuck into it today and pulled most of the bench together, starting on the shelving and finishing some bits off.

Nice one Mat, coming together nicely. I noticed the lights and extra power points you put in. Very practical. You planning on building something special or any more plans for the S14 with this new garage set up?

been living in a unit for a while now so know what that it is like to have no space or no power to work on your car. It is just awsome having space and heaps of light to see what you are doing now,

tell me bout it!

been in a unit for almost 3 years. 1.5 weeks time we move into new home with a large single garage!

cant fkn wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you will end up juist standinbg in the garage with a big smile on your face and the wife will be looking at you like you are a weirdo. great feeling having your own garage.

keep the photos coming or any suggestions as doig some more playing around soon

one day but have to pay for the reno's and house first!!!!

lol great setups here....i have the same sickness.

i have designed our whole new house around fitting a decent sized garage including 2 post hoist. we ended up with 15m x 7m with 2 doors front and 1 to rear to allow drive thru. bulldozers arriving shortly...we moving back in march 2011

great thread, and yes keep the pics and ideas coming

a good way to save space and have a tyre/wheel rack is to run 2-3 post's of rhs or pole from one side to the other of the room but mount it as high as u can with the exception of room for tyres/wheel to come out. will need to make a stand/stable movable step ladder like the ones used at coles etc

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
