I went with Zone Garage as well after Matsuda's recommendation. However they work by territories, so my contact was different from Matsuda's. 1 year so far with the coating and it's still good. Rolling jacks and Jack stands hasn't damaged it. I also got them to add baseboards and coat that too.

I'm using Clever Quarters based on the recommendations in this thread: https://www.revscene.net/forums/7170...endations.html

The price is now $7/sq ft. Install happening at end of Jan. I think they were a touch generous with how they measured my garage so it came out higher than I expected. I visited their office just a couple hours after my wife backed the car into the garage door so I was too pissed to pay much attention to the details. Pro tip: Don't spend money after your wife backs the car into the garage.

I also got quotes for cabinets and storage from them and it's $$$. I'm just gonna get my own stuff from Home Depot and install it myself for less than half the price.

96sf of slatboard was $1600 installed.
A 4ft wide cabinet with sliding doors was $2010 (regular doors would have been $600 cheaper I think, no doors would have been $1k).

I got a quote from Clever Quarters at the time. They were more expensive and wouldn't install baseboards. They would however partially coat up the wall if I wanted.

Rocking OE Audi S4 BBS wheels for winter.



OE euro black cherry LED tail lights and OE VW Cross bar.

Went out and bought a good binder today and those clear plastic page protectors for inside. Took all the service records in order, window sticker, original bill of sale, factory order form, tire receipts, and put them into the little slots in the binder, so I can be the guy with the insanely detailed and meticulous records when I sell the car (if I ever do lol). Have had the car 6 years now from brand new so it's nice to know the service records are all fully intact.

Good to see that owners are still holding on to every piece of paperwork for their cars. It makes it easier for like-minded enthusiasts when looking for their cars or at least it provides some peace of mind.

I just wiped down the dash and vacuumed my dirty old civic. Are they done salting the roads? Thinking about insuring it, maybe booking for dyno tune. I see MDA has Morris in town this coming week for tuning.

Yesterday, I attempted to fix a water leak in the trunk of the Mazda3. Made a quick video of it:



Several weeks ago I made new tail light gaskets for that same car, and also made a video of it:

I love the video, I love the DIY... but why would you do this for a part that's still available for... like $15 in a quick search online?

I can think of lots of cars that you would need to do this for because of parts that are NLA or grotesquely expensive... but Mazda3 is still okay

Local Mazda dealer quoted me about 80 total for the tail light gaskets and 200 for the entire trunk lid wiring harness. When I looked online, OEM parts from the states end up costing me more than advertised after exchange rate, fees for pick up at Blaine or Point Roberts, and driving there and back. So, it was cheaper using some foam I still had from long ago purchased at a Michael's craft store. I think I paid 6 bucks for everything. Also, it was an excuse to make a video and maybe it will help someone in the future who may have a similar problem, either on the same model car or something else.

Been sick lately so haven’t been able to really work on it. The RS is broken in a bunch of different ways, so insurance has been transferred over to the STi. Still have a bunch of work to do, but you need to start somewhere.

Got the car cleaned up (but subsequently has sat for a few months so it’s dirty). Cut apart the damaged stock bumper and put on the tubular one. Installed a short shift arm, lower front and rear poly shift bushings. Poly/billet Transmission mount and the horrible job of doing the motor mounts, also poly/billet.







NVH with the motor/trans mounts is obvsly a lot higher than stock, but now the motor isn’t trying to leap out of the engine bay when you start. You can hear the gear whine a lot more, but still within tolerance to me. Shifting is super tight now but I hate short shift kits, I might want to get an extension. I hate these stock wheels so they gotta go soon. I also need to get the oil leaks taken care of ASAP

Got my flooring installed by Clever Quarters yesterday and they did a nice job - went up the sides, went under the door (a bit of the frame was showing) and got all the edges as well. Happy with how it looks, will see how well it wears next.

Now I'm looking for cabinets and slat wall panels. Anyone have advice or recs on these? Metal or wood cabinets? Which brands of product work well?

supa - pictures? Is it not a little too cold for doing the epoxy floor, or whatever it is you did?

Temperature wasn't an issue - they just said to give it more time to dry (5 days before I park on it instead of 3 days).

I chose Blizzard 1/8" which is a light grey base with a blue and white flakes.

Garage is 19.5x12 and they did the sides as well include the wood door frame below the doors. Took them about 5 hours to do the work. Came out to $2100 - I think they were a bit generous with the measurements as the official price is $7/sf.

That’s good to hear they did solid work. I had Troy the main guy for Clever Quarters come yesterday and do a quote for the floor as well as built in storage and whatnot. Quoted the same $7 a sqft for the floor and about 5k for all the storage I want. Considering the size of my garage and what I want done doesn’t seem like it’s too crazy compared to why I’ve heard out there.

Next week I’ll get a firm quote and virtual showing of what it will look like before I confirm

Looks good, but it's a bit more than I can afford at the moment considering my garage is a little bit more than double your size. I assume it'll be close to 5k for me.

Same with me, I'm looking at the DIY solutions it doesn't look TOO bad. But like everything prep is huge.

I tried to text my salesman a couple times to ask, but no response. I just use a mop and it cleaned up all the salt and crude pretty well.

Try zone Garage for a quote. I compared with clever Quarters and zone Garage came up cheaper at the time.

These guys say you can but just don't linger on a spot - I bet if you use a 40 degree or higher nozzle you'll be fine. 40 degrees is what I use on my car and I can't imagine it's softer than paint.
