Camber bolts were seized on the spring rear buckets. A bit of blowtorch (and a brief scare of melting the wiring near the diff bush) I managed to get them off and wire brush them clean and refit them all loosey goosey.

Thats my rainy weekend job sorted - Nismo mk1 full carbon wing from Torqen. The quality of the carbon is gorgeous and well worth the wait. Now I've just got to make my mind up between airlift v coilovers with air cups...

Welcome! Can't say I've seen your Z knocking about around the Manchester area. I'll keep my eyes open๐. -
So I guess garage envy is a thing ๐ Years ago now I worked as a designer for a company that did garage fit-outs. Stuff like: wall storage, PVC tile flooring & ceiling, tool cabinets, lighting etc would easily fetch for ยฃ20k+. They looked great, but I could never justify spending THAT much on a garage. Found some renders & couple of install photos

Hello everyone, Iโve been driving my 350Z for quite a while now, but Iโve just realised I never actually introduced myself here in the introduction section! You can actually find my car thread over in the Wanted section โ I bought the car thanks to this very forum. Itโs a 2006 RevUp model, and when I bought it, it had around 73,000 miles on the clock. Two years later, itโs now sitting at roughly 79,000 miles. I wanted to share a bit about whatโs been done to the car โ both what it already had when I bought it and the modifications Iโve added since. When I bought it, the car already had: Japan Racing JR5 Wheels ISR Catback Single Exit Exhaust ARC Air Intake System Nismo Style Front Lip After driving it in this setup for quite some time, I decided to start making the updates Iโd always dreamed of. Thereโs a long list in my head, but Iโll just share what Iโve done so far. Itโs a bit of a story, so here goesโฆ When I first got the car, it already had a Nismo-style front lip. Personally, I didnโt love the look with just the front lip โ it felt incomplete. So the first thing I did was order a set of side skirts from Tarmac Sportz and had them fitted. In my opinion, the carโs stance completely changed โ it looked so much more balanced. Without the skirts, it really did look too plain. Of course, with the new side skirts and front lip, the rear end started to look a bit empty. Iโve always loved the 380RS body kit, so after a lot of searching, I ordered a Nismo V3-style spoiler, again from Tarmac Sportz. Once fitted, it looked great โ but it made me realise the rear spats needed updating too. So I went back to Tarmac Sportz and ordered a set of Nismo N1-style rear spats, which really tied everything together in terms of the body kit. For now, that was the exterior just how I wanted it. After another good stretch of driving, I started to feel that the carโs sound wasnโt quite doing it for me anymore. It still had the stock catalytic converters, so it was time for a decat. After some research, I decided to go for Berk Technology decats, which I thought would pair nicely with my ISR Single Exit exhaust. Once fitted โ that raspy, aggressive tone was exactly what Iโd been looking for. Iโve never been a fan of the DE bonnet design, so I thought Iโd upgrade to an HR bonnet. One thing led to another, and during the Black Friday sales I found myself ordering a Seibon carbon HR-style bonnet โ couldnโt resist the deal! Thatโs everything Iโve done so far, but Iโve got a long list of future plans. Next up, Iโm looking at getting carbon front fenders, because I just canโt resist a bit of carbon. Once again, hi to everyone โ Iโve attended a few meets already, and Iโm looking forward to many more! You can see the carโs first look and its current setup in the photos. If youโd like to see the carโs progress, you can follow @beko.z33 on Instagram.

Your garage is badass bro!

@DoogyRev Nice big space there. You need some Mustang merch to make the most of it whilst you've got it! @Keith D Quality looking set of tools there bud! @Stutopia Decent space mate, nice and tidy too. ๐

Yeah this has cost me just over ยฃ900 for 5.2m x 4.8m. They do unbranded alternatives on eBay of what is probably the same stuff, but maybe for 70% of the cost. What swung it for me ultimately though is i've been planning to epoxy my floor for the last 5 years and i'm just never going to get round to it... so paying slightly more for something that i could implement in just a few hours was worth it to me. What do i think of it... it's not as sturdy as i thought it'd be... there's a slight clicky noise when you walk on it. Impressed at how clean it seems to stay though, with all the dirt just falling through the gaps!
-
What did you think of the flooring? I've been googling all different kinds only thing thats put me off is pricing. I'm looking somewhere between 800 to a grand for slightly bigger then normal single garage which seems steep to me. Can I ask what yours cost?

Don't feel bad, I have way too much crap in my garage.... apart from the big fighter jet grey thing in the middle (although I do love my 2 stage impeller snow blower and my 2 jet washers) ๐คฃ 13 years ago when we moved here I did not even own a single screwdriver ..... time flies.... so does the accrual of things ๐ Soon be time to wrap the stang for the winter ....... booooooooooooooo

I was feeling pretty good about acquiring my first ever garage space, until I saw this thread You've got some great spaces there lads!
-
My garage is a bit of a building site, I'm extending it from a double to a triple to make rook for another project - something rusty that needs a bare shell rebuild I do like an obnoxiously large tool box maxed out with shadow foam OCD though ๐คฃ
-
Looks good ๐

I like the flooring ๐

It really was! It's a small miracle I got the wiring for the steering wheel controls right first time! But very happy with the results. I've never done anything more than plug and play before. But this worked well. By the way auto wire stripping tool is the best thing ever! (New favourite tool)
-
Looks like a bit of a rats nest of wiring. Nice work on being able to get the steering wheel controls back working! ๐

I love your lotus

Looks great! Loving the storage. ๐
