Soo.. I just stumbled across this forum a few days ago and have been reading it every lunch break at work. So damn impressed by the attention to detail and quality of the build. Extremely inspirational. I was slightly disappointed to not see it in action when i reached the end, but at the same time i'm glad i'm around now to see the completion of it. I really want to LS swap my Z some time in the future (sooner hopefully than later), and this is some serious inspiration. Good luck on your last bits, the light at the end of the tunnel is shining bright brother. Also, great taste in beer. Cheers.

Holly **** dude, thanks for the kind words.... Comments like these get me excited on working on the car and finishing her.

Glad you love the build and stay tune for more.. I know it has been going slowly but thats what happens when life catches up to you.. But trust me it will be finished and I will be ripping in it very soon...

What is it they say? The last 10% of the build takes 90% of the time? Something like that. Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing this done also! Certainly a quality and well thought out build, right down to the garage floor treatment.

Question... is there a reason for welding the bars that run up to the strut tower, or can they be made to bolt to the original core support location on the strut towers? This way the whole tube front could be removed without cutting?

^ You asked this on the track prepped group IIRC. Your best bet is to listen to Daelen from MA Motorsports.

haha yes I did, but came here before he posted. He brought up a good point about not running it to the bash bar.

I'm Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been way to long without a update.... Life got the best of me and the project sat for a while.. Had some more issues with PCM tune and wiring issues.. But now that is all fixed and we can start moving forward with wrapping things up..






This is how the car looks as of right now.. Car is wrapped in this picture.

Decided to go with a Hexis Wrap, color is a Gloss Saturn White Glitter Vinyl Wrap.. Looks killer in the sun.

As you can tell from the pic, I finished up my side splitters and also my wing endplates.


With all that being said, tried to go get a alignment the other day, but did not work out good, due to my car being so low and need a in-ground unit to get it done..


But once that is complete I should be ready to start doing some mad skids...


So stay posted.. I also have a vid of me driving out of the garage. I will have to put it up on here as well..


But get ready for some updates..
