Some really nice spaces posted here. I'll add to it the world's smallest 3 car garage. I was able to squeeze a 4 post lift in despite a pathetic 9'3" ceiling height.
At least I'm able to house all of my babies under one roof : )

Future plans are to add air conditioning and flooring.

The furnace is in that vicinity and honestly not much more clearance to the roof. I've seen examples
where guys cut and angle their ceiling to accommodate a lift but in this instance I just don't think it would
give me that much more height.

You should get 2 more lifts

Hah - the only way I can get away with it is the tandem portion of the garage doesn't have to compete with door, opener, and tracks.

Even with a high lift track and a side opener system it still wouldn't work as I only have about 1.5-2" from the top of the Supra to
the ceiling, just enough to get the lift off of the locks.

You guys with multiple collector-grade FDs in indoor storage are doing God's work.

Don’t have any good pics on my phone. It’s not very fancy and a slightly different take on a “garage space” but.....



Friend a I bought an old two-bay gas station about 5 minutes from our homes and rehab’d it. He’s in to boats. I play with the FD and an old Chevy. Currently one 2-post lift but adding another in a couple weeks.

Not a good pic but rehab’d the office too. Not shown is the mini-frig, liquor cabinet and poker table. Just added a small humidor too.

Only pic I have on the phone of one of the bays. It’s tight but plenty tall for the lifts. We’re decently equipped for a couple of amateurs...engine hoists, stands, jacks, Drill press, hydraulic press, MIG welder and all the tools a couple of old guys accumulated thru the years.

I love Amp's setup but just not a fan of the R32. In a few years you will have the ultimate setup if you swap that out for the R34.

Then take it a step further can get the modern day variants to go with it (R35, MK5 Supra, and NSX).

...pretty sure that’s an r33.
i think visually I prefer the 32 the most.

Either way, I'm just not a fan of the r32 and r33. Just don't think they aged well. R34 has a bit sharper lines and looks "tougher" or something. The others just look like normal sedans converted to coupes.

doubt ill be able to afford the 34... was a huge fan of the 34 until i sat and drove one...
the 33.. fell for it pretty easy.. handled better imho... it also recorded the best lap against the other two in the nurgburing
whoring pic of the 33
