That’s a gorgeous car and the yellow just works.

How do you like working on the Race Deck / SwissTrax tiles versus a concrete or porcelain floor? How do you deal with oil or liquid spills, jacking up cars, Jack stands, etc on the tiles?

cp99. I really like this flooring and have had it in every garage I have had since 1999.

I am a pretty big fanatic about oil leaks. My cars don't. Once in a while (every 5 or 6 years) I'll clean underneath the flooring. All of my experience is with Race Deck. It has consistently held up to the numerous builds I have done.

I have had zero issues with jack stands, floor jacks and my 4 post sits on the Race Deck. I blow it out with a lawn blower and use a steam mop once a month or so.

I split my 2.7 today to address leaks, consider cams, head work and a few other items.

The console was a bit tired and needed a thermostat. The pressure valve also needed attention.
