Whats going on guys, ive always lurked around on this forum for years now but never really thought i had much to offer but a few months ago me and my best friend decided to split a 1800 sq ft shop with a loft and office upstairs where we later decided to start selling stickers, decals, store fronts and we just recently started vinyl wrapping cars and interiors.
Basically i started a thread about the daily activities at my shop to get some feed back from all brands of car enthusiasts. Ive been getting pretty awesome feedback from other forums, id like to see what you guys think.

Heres my original posts from back in February till now. We decided to call ourselves Stick Garage.




-Im missing the game, i put my hunt for another Z33 on hold for a little due to lack of space....Im pleased to announce that the hunt is back on!! I recently picked up a 1,800 sq. ft two story warehouse with a few of my buddies.


Heres a few teaser pics with the M5, S13 project and friends cars.






Currently doing all suspension, fender rolling/pulling, small fab work and photography for now.. Ive got a lot off cool ideas im working on right now. Keep an eye out for "More *** than class" stickers and a few others.



A lot of you guys might already know me from meets, my past cars/friends cars and clean work.




After many s13s onto my personal favourite the z33

Ive done most of the work on all of the above cars plus dozens more not photographed. We've got a lot of interesting ideas for this spring, the mustang already has a new set of wheels and the shop cars should be out and about by summer.

Ill keep you guys updated on progress. Heres a few pics from a little shoot i had with my M5 and buddies E55 a few weeks ago













some shots from last weekend. A 7am sunday cruise to ocean parkway then a little shoot at a secret spot in my town.


this ones for your mom.

 

So ive been pretty busy with this new customers KA-T S13 which came to me with a blown t25 turbo and suspension needing to be dialled in.
So were swapping in a GT2871R .64, new oil feed, water-cooled turbo retrofit and im going over the suspension with a fine tooth comb. ill have more of this build later this week.

Helped a buddy of mine stance his rabbit before show and go this weekend.









Heres some pics from the Porsche Club of America AutoX at Tobay Beach. They didn't take too kindly to the manor of which i was sliding around most the course, but i had to find some way to rotate my boat into some of the tighter/complex corners......i was kicked off the track for show boating, whats new.

Got the rikky bobby S13 up and running and wow...super powerful. I love the response you get from a GT2871r on the 2.4....will have videos up soon.

Heres some random pics i took from last night bored.

 

A little gathering of some of the sticky garage fleet cars.









S13 Ground clearance


Did a little coilover adjustments on my buddys VOIX SRT10 Viper.





Factory flat bottom...mmmmm





Heres a little bit about what ive been up to. I sold the M5 and picked up a mint 85 911 Pcar, love it. The M5 was awesome but as far as modifications go theres much to be desired. I also really missed the agility of
Ive got some RWBish plans for her, 9in front flares and 11 inch rear flares, 5x114 conversion, custom built coilovers oh yea and LS1 swap












anddddd, i finally started getting serious about the S13 and picked up a set of wheels from my good buddy. Once i got my hands on the wheels i actually found motivation to finish this car once and for all.

Once i got the wheels over to the shop the creative juices started flowing...im not too fond of the face design so i decided to take them apart and paint them. Then i had a brilliant idea, why not vinyl wrap them? :twisted:

I had already decided to vinyl wrap the S13 so for the past few nights ive gone vinyl crazy, ive got the car about 1/3rd done and the wheels on the way. Heres a few teaser/progress shots.

 

thanks guys, i didn't expect so many responses over night.

The shop initially started off as a place to keep out cars and work in the winter (fantastic heating system) and do a few side jobs here and there to pay the bills. Then business started picking up as word spread about my work. Then my best friend drew (white mustang) and I decided to get a vinyl plotter to make stickers iPhone wraps and eventually evolve into wrapping whole cars. Im practicing wrapping with my S13 using sticker vinyl for now, when stretched too much it looses stickiness but 3M makes an adhesive paste for that exact issue.

Heres some mustang pics






iphone pics of the S13 vinyl wrap progress..almost there


and iPhone light weight reception skin.




Were located in Sea Cliff, Long Island..like exit 39 off the LIE. Shoot me a PM if you ever wanna swing by and shoot the **** or get some stickers.

found this image on the interweb, thought it would be a sick sticker and what do u know...it is.




Thanks, i enjoy photography as well. My buddy and i might be doing a shoot this weekend with a **** load of cars this weekend, you guys will be the first to see.

Heres a little teaser of shop **** #2

more to come.

 

hell yea, shoot me a PM if your coming to NY. once we finish the S13 we might actually be driving up to toronto, my dad lives up there. I figured out a pretty legit way to import the JDM cars into the states for not that much money, ill let you guys know if it works.


Heres a little teaser after i finally got tires for the rears.
265/35/18 on a 18x12.5, i didn't realize how intense of a stretch it would be. After getting it nice and wet, inflating, deflating, over inflating and repeatedly bouncing over 6ft in the air with 90psi plus a little torch action, I'm pretty close to getting the bead to seat on the lip. I think i just need to put a few miles on the car and we should be good.




I plan on mounting the over fenders this week, can't wait to see how the copper rivets look on the battleship silver vinyl. We still might change up the color combo for the wheels, maybe brown on bronze....well see.

Forgot to mention i sold the porsche today . No time for another project at the moment, might jump back into my original LSx Z33 idea.


Started riveting the over fenders on...rear camber is almost maxed out and coils are pretty much as low as they go.
I want to get all four wheels on and level the car out before i decide how much I'm going to arc the over fenders.
Its going to be a tight squeeze, the beads havnt even completely seated to the front barrels yet.
Im hoping to have most of the car assembled by tonight, its 8:25am and i just got back from an all nighter at the shop. time for a power nap then back to work.

 

Finally uploaded real pictures of whats been going on the past few weeks. Just finished dp,jb4,fmic,intakes and clutch delay valve delete on a buddies 335i, pretty sweet cars the power is so smooth its creepy. Ill get some pics later this week.

Better pics of the S13 in not ride height. put 235/40s on the fronts, kind of disappointed in the stretch..might swap out for 225/40 soon. Also the copper rivets are way too small, im super disappointed in that. Scrapped the "Vinyl wrapping the lips" idea, after messing one up after it was completely wrapped and removing it proved to be a multiple day task. Im going with a good old fashioned rattle can for the barrels and lips, pics later..you should lke the color.





We also decided to rice out the mustang with a carbon wrapped roof and trunk section and then we wood grained the interior trim. I think it came out awesome, we need to do the roof over tho.

Dont mind the fingerprints



my emo pic.










Woodgrain interior..thinkuing about doing the steering wheel also or a nardi, well see. Maybe if im feeling nice ill let him borrow the red leather brides








So ive been dying for a pushrod for years now, I had my heart set on doing an LS1 in the 911 i just sold. I got an offer i couldnt refuse so i let her go but the next day i found a deal i couldnt let pass up. Im not a fan on buying other peoples swaps and projects but i couldnt pass this one up, it needs a little work but once im done its going to be awesome.









yea...LS1 Rx7 from a Club loose member in the tri state area. Its got a pretty stock LS1 with LS6 intake manifold, BBK long tube headers to a 3" Y pipe to 3" straight pipe. The car has all the good control arms and such...just not a fan of hte BC coilovers. If i keep it i have some really sick plans for it but i truly want the porsche.
Ive got a few things i need to clean up with the fuel and clutch lines. Also refine the interior and definitely load up with some sound deadening. Seriously humoring the idea of widebody with a kit and wheels similar to the S13 and wrapping it white....but i might just put a rotorary back in it, sell it and keep the power train to put the LS1 in a porsche... so torn. :violin:

 

Sweet, it seems pretty well put together. Ive still got a lot of work to get the car up to my standards but I'm happy with the purchase. The steering feels super light, i havnt really gotten into any higher speed drifts or corners but the car feels solid. Ive got some adjustments to do with the damper and shock travel to hold me off for the rest of this season till i get real coilovers (if i even keep the car)



Anyway...im bored and was digging throughout my photobucket and found some cool stuff i don't think ive ever shown you guys.

Heres some pics of my dads Pulsar GTIR in canada.
Cusco Coilovers, Apex cat back, SSQ, boost controller etc...small stuff but he loves it. I tried to get him to get with the flushness but the best he would do is 15x8 et0 and he refuses to go any lower. If anyones in the Ontario area check him out, he taught me everything i know, really awesome guy.







Heres the only vehicle ive ever bought brand new. 2010 Ducati Monster, the same week i got all my parts on/painted for the look i was going for the bike caught on fire while running in my garage. She only had 600 miles, i was so disappointed/relieved. It was my second bike and it only took me a few weeks to realize its way too slow and not the kind of bike i was looking for. This winter I'm going to try to get my hands on a Ducati 848 :blah: Heres the Monster.






Stock with my girlfriend(note her shirt)


One day, ill build one better

wow looks like you're progressing nicely from small stuffs to bigger projects. Congrats and enjoy doing what you do!

 

Thanks for the kind words! heres a little gift for being the first poster in my thread.

17x9.5 18x10.5 +15





GoPro action in the RX7....not a huge fan of the chassis, I'm going to adjust the shock travel (with out raising the car) and adjust the dampers. They're set how the previous owner set them...like ****, stiff in the back softer in the front..should make it a little more controllable

My first time out with her, i know i drift like ****. Give me a break.
