finally got the invidia gemini pics after a few hundred miles of break in and a fresh wash and wax. happy with the exhaust but will be putting hfc's on for a little more noise and then will be completly satisfied. plenum spacer and window tint coming soon. then on to some suspension work.
I got Top Speed resonated test pipes mated to my Gemini. Sounds great.

did/are you getting a cel with them without a tune? want to wait till next spring for a tune after i finish all the bolt on i want to do this winter while it is parked. i was also looking at the md art pipes as well.
So I picked up another Z this week. I have an 04 roadster that is about to hit 100K that ill be selling shortly, but I wanted a Z I could build for the track and I found this one for the perfect price. Its a 2008 Base Model that is salvage title and is in need of a lot of TLC. Thing is I only paid 4,000 for it. Car has 108K on it and it came with Prodrive rims, the concave series. I am going to be taking the rims off getting them redone and painted then sold. Fitment on the car is horrible and I dont need expensive rims for drifting! I'll be starting a build thread soon.

Nice Casa, nice Z! Keep us posted on your track results.
I finally got around to giving my new Z some attention this weekend.
Started to correct the paint with a polish, sealant, polymer wax and a Carnuba top coat. Still needs alot of work and some new bumpers (insane rock chips :-/) but she is shining now atleast!
People have over complicated this in many posts and some of the racks cost way too much. I have been hurting my brain trying figuring out which is the best most cost effective way to transport my bike.
Hollywood bike rack- run the side hooks through the trunk instead, clip them to the inside. The rest is a piece of cake. It takes 7 speed bumps to leave my complex. This rack passed with flying colors.
Well I finally got the new motor in and was able to fire her up to go for a test lap around the neighborhood.
Right now the Y-pipe isn't hooked up to the test pipes yet. The bastard is seized on pretty well. I tried drilling out the old bolts but to no avail, I may cave in and take it to the welder's shop down the street.
Unfortunately I had to leave town to work and won't have time to get back to it until next week.
Had my car plastidipped. I know vinyl wrap is the best way to go, but at the moment its just not in my budget to do so especially because i still havent gotten the rims I want to yet.
But just sharing how it came out, its only the first day but i love how it came out. I paid 500 from an authorized dyc installer.
Track 2/GT "10-footer "wheels - spent far less than on gen-u-whine Nismos with same spec. (With 50% Yokomama Advans)
They look very nice....
From 10 feet away!
Couple of 'em are/were pretty rashed up so....
Post-filler, sanded & primed for inspection, final glaze on remaining scuffs.
Just prior to clearing.
First coat clear.
3rd coat clear.
Finished color/clear, ready for polishing/wet sand blending.
Rims are not a perfect match to the face but it'll do. Fortunately, the other wheel requiring attention is on the same side of the car so only the really astute will notice the fix. (Or someone walks to the other side and notes how pristine the ones on that side are. Heh heh.)
Cheers,
Mic
PS They go on the car tomorrow and the "new" Volk/Bridge S-04 setup may go up for sale. These...
