figured i would throw another update before i am banned from the computer (gf bday today) man cave is 95% completed just needs doors and outside lights installed and they will be installed tomorrow garage is 30x36 and will have running water heat tv/xbox a fridge and a microwave man cave for sure

 

^ pure ****, I would suggest more lights though. They are fairly cheap and I can see junction boxes not in use! Nothing like a nice flat concrete floor

 

so far i havent had the need for more lights i might add more to be honest i havent spent alot of time in there because it has been so cold and windy without the doors and yea the junction boxes are for the ceciling fans if i need to cool it more in the summer will just add a small window unit i am beyond happy with how it has turned out.

 

update: motors pulled along with everything else i decided to paint the bay might shave and fill to depending on how much time i have before she goes to the body shop and yes i know i need shelfs.

 

Garage looks great, man. You're going to LOVE the 2.4L over the 2.0L.

What did you end up making on the 2.0?

I'm still not ballsy enough to relocate the fuse box, but damn does your car look good relocated.

 

I got street tuned so no clue on the power i just wanted to make sure it was safe over the summer i new i was going to pull the motor apart soon and i kept that block so i think i am going to do a 2.3 to keep it simple i picked up a manley 100mm crank the forged not the billet i wanna do a mill spec connector on the harness and clean up the wiring on the inside but dont have the time.

 

absolutley LOVE the garage, if you don't mind me asking, roughly how much did it run ya? good luck with the car too my man!

 

honestly i would have to go back and check last time i checked we were at 17k but that was awhile ago i saved a ton of money i have a friend who is a electrician did all the wiring uncle did all the concrete work and family friend built the garage he took longer then expected but it was worth the wait the doors we paid someone to install and got all of that stuff when it was on sale insulation and sheet rock are not up yet that will be another $600 without doing the ceiling but i have a 200.000 btu forced air heater so it stays 70 degrees in there when its 30 outside .

14k materials
2k concrete
$1300 doors
$ electrician was free

 

thats awesome

a buddy of mine builds pole barns and those are pretty cool too. yoursetup is so nice too! plan on putting a lift in there?

deff got hooked up with the electrical work, i actually went back to school to be an electrician and graduate following spring, big money to be had in that field!

 

I would love to put a lift in there but with me having to buy new motors every 6 months i dont see it any time soon lol and its a great field to be in always will have plenty of work your hard work will pay off soon

on another note i decided on the motor setup

2.3 motor

nice dude! talk to tom (tscompusa) he got me a killer deal on all my parts for my motor build..

i hear ya about the motor thing lol.. you assemble them yourself?

 

I will check with tom since he is building a monster of his own and no way i dont have the know how or tools to build motors i guess i just have bad luck who knows.

 

damn man well better luck this year lol

 

i want your garage

 

I am blessed to have it i came from a old wood floor shop in my back yard

got a small update i placed my order for the pistons friday they should be here this week weisco had them in stock and i went over my buddys next door and we did a few things on his car and made a few things for mine added a -8 fitting on the rad so it will drain alot quicker and a huge -16 for the lower rad hose also made a fire wall plate for the harness and drilled the fire wall for a positive terminal so the alt and starter wires will no longer have to come inside the car.
