Insulate the garage door with some foam, it helps.

Done, done, and done. The entire garage is insulated and drywalled. When we were building the house I asked the builder how much to fully insulate and finish the garage, he said $1200... That's extremely cheap in these parts so I didn't hesitate to sign off on that.

My only regret is not asking for a slightly higher ceiling in the garage. I need to get a structural engineer out to figure out what I need to do to gain a bit of hight in the middle bay, so I can park a car under the 4 post lift.

Umm... You have a 4 post lift??... WTH!!! JEBUS that's nice. If I were to get a 4 post, I would get the one on wheels where you could roll you whole car around.

I don't have it yet, it's next on the list. I need to get the ceiling figured out first. I'm hoping next summer.

I'm looking at one of these,

Four Post Lifts - DirectLift.ca: Residential Automotive Lifts, Motorcycle Lifts and ATV Lifts

Comes with the wheels, ramps, and drip trays. Optional are the hydraulic jacks, which are a must.

Mike! Long time no see! I hope you and your family are doing good, I also hope you're not working too hard.

I did a new edit of the above photo, took the tree out and tweeted the colours a bit. Which version do you guys like?

GaleForce · 01-17-2015, 08:02 PM

That issue is the Tuning 365 2014 yearbook. (Red cover in background). It's a special edition recent release. FWIW, that's the only photo of my Z in it. The mini feature is still due out. I'm told sometime in 2015. It keeps getting pushed back

GaleForce · 01-20-2015, 10:38 AM

This is the beginning of Version 2.0

GaleForce · 01-20-2015, 10:40 AM

The time has come to share some great news.
I am officially a member of Team Toyo! Toyo Tires / Toyo Tires Canada will be a big part of my 500+whp Nissan 370Z transformation!

Stay tuned for more build and sponsor details!
