Turbo Air Intake Hose

Ok Jan, checked that one out. Did yours connect properly, etc?? I do need some ZDDP also, so maybe I'll just order both things from Kirban. Thanks for the info.

I'm not using that setup just got one and put it away with the OEM aircleaner and stuff but the diameter and length is correct so I don't see any issues with using it.

hey kymmee, i bought two of these from different vendors and i liked both', i know one was hwy stars. cant remember the other, but hwy .s was by far the most orig, even though i like the other better because of the flex :chat:
 
I went ahead and ordered the one from Highway Stars. Got it today, the shipping was fast. Plan on installing it tomorrow-hope to make one last car show this Saturday if the weather is nice. I'll take some pictures of the engine bay. Then the car is going "in the shipping box". :( Envy all you southern people that dont have to deal with winter. I dread it before it even gets here.
 
in the shipping box?

do you actually store your car in a shipping container?

If so, I am interested to know how you like it.

I was thinking of getting a few containers for my cars since they are not taxed like garages and they are easily movable and sellable.

I also thought of getting an enclosed car carrier trailer that holds 4 cars. This could serve as a 4 car garage. Those 4 car carriers have lifts too. Since the lift is on the outside of the trailer, that trailer could be backed up to the rear entrance of an existing garage, and the lift on the back of the trailer could then be inside the existing garage. Your regular garage would have to be detached, and have lots of room behind it and a rear entrance. Mine does. But then, just by buying a trailer you would get a 4 car garage and lift, none of it taxable by real estate tax. And you can take it with you. And you can have 4 cars in it when you move it. On the other hand, if I was to build a 4 car garage on my property, they would tax me $300 per month on it and I could not take it with me.

My point here is that car trailers can serve as garages. If you need a garage and can't afford one, you could get an enclosed trailer and park it somewhere on or off your property. It can't be taxed, it's easy to move, and easy to sell. And you don't have to build it.

I heard about a collection of muscle cars that was locked up in trailers. Tractor trailer type trailers. with doors welded shut to keep the criminals from tampering with it. Some guy bought all of it as a lot, as car junk. About 30 trailers, each 40 ft long or 48 ft, full of cars and parts. But only good stuff like ls6 chevelles, zl1 motors, etc. It was all preserved in the trailers. It took the guy over a year to sell it all and he probably made a couple million profit.
 
Andre#4, I havent put the car in there yet. It will be for winter storage only. The rest of the time, the car is in a pole barn-garage. I had mice problems last year-they got in one of the other cars, so I am trying to avoid that this winter season. Refer to this thread for info and pictures.

And you think like me when it comes to taxes-in my state it is considered a portable structure, so you dont pay property taxes on it.
