Just preparing for the worst, because my car may be sitting for a certain period of time, longer than i like, im assuming months. i want one that can stand most the elements mainly rain and sun, and in combination moisture. a lock is not necessary, easy storage is a plus..

just wanna know if anybody has any leads on a good website?

thanks

I have one of the autotechnica stormguard covers, the ones that come in the red box. Excellent cover, fleecy lined inside so it doesn't scratch the paintwork and fully waterproof. Excellent for when the car has to sleep outside.

I also have the Autotechnica cover, premium one. It works great. Was about $160 from memory?

I think from memory I got a xl or an xxl, it wasn't one of the main ones was only for like 3 cars or something from memory. But I needed the extra length to go over the spoiler and under the front bar of my car. The one that they recommend for the skyline couple was way way to small. get either the next size up or 2 sizes up, whatever they have.

where can i order one thats fitted to the car?

That was my problem, I bought one that was supposed to be fitted to the car but was way to small, the dude in the shop when i took it back said it's probally for standard ones not gtr's. Mine fits over the top of the car very very well and you just tuck the extra length at the front under the bar.

for a fitted cover go to covercraft. they have beautiful car covers. they are model specific too, to your exact model. so they fit perfectly. but quite expensive at around the $400 mark.

The best you can buy at auto shops is probably the Kenco Tyvex car cover. When I bought my first one, it was $150. I think they're around $100 now.

I must warn you though, it will scratch your car. My car is black and had fresh paint. I used to wash it every time before I put the car cover on (I only drove it about once every 1-2 weeks). It put swirlies in the paint (not happy jan).

So I'd rather leave it out to the sun than put a cover on. I've got a garage now anyways.

Your best option is probably one of those carports from supercheap auto for $2-300.

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
