Your car is just amazing. The progression makes me feel bad like I've neglected my Z. simply amazing man! I wish I had the wrapping skills you have & obviously the money you have that you can put into your car haha. When you going to up the boost though? I know you want 400whp

We dont know. We might be heading up early checking out some things or the caravan we did last year. I will find out soon.

She was neglected for a while. Ive had it for 10 years

I have been thinking of something with the engine. No major build though. I am hooked on the track and autox. No need. When a fiesta st is quicker.... 600 wouldnt help much. I need to "master" my 375 first I am pretty hooked hahaha

Congrats on owning this car for so long... not many of us are in the 1 owner's club now days. I like your idea of staying NA... FI cars have too much problems.

Side note Its been 10 years since I bought the car. Found the original temp tag. 3/5/05 I figured 10 years or 100k miles she gets a new coat..Paint or wrap. And she clicked over to 90k yesterday. So 9k a year not bad.

The Last shoot with paint... OEM 03 PPW paint still in decent condition. Only parts not painted on the car where the roof and rear bumper.

The last pcs or the cf wrap fenders? The car is now a Satin Pearl wrap. No mas paint.

They are suppose to be much different. I wanted the car back for some autox fun and Zdayz is coming. After this it will be changed a tad more.

car looks good with the new wrap! IMO you need some new side skirts something more "aggresive", the OEMs are too subtle

Thanks. I was torn with the CF. It didnt look clean but it did fit where the car is going. Track *****. But I do love the clean look of all white.

I have Nismo v3 in the garage for about a year now. The fender and side skirts were to be a tad different and I dont think any sides would work? Maybe after zdayz.

I'm happy to see this Z is still white! I was a little worried when I read you where going to wrap the car, but the Satin Peral White looks great! I was hoping to see the car in person at the Naples BBQ, but was not able to make it out unfortunately. Looking forward to seeing pictures of you ripping it up on the Dragon in May!

Weekend project sounds ambitous, but with the right tools and extra hands anything is possible. IIRC though, isn't your trunk already gutted and you have the bolt-in Krik roll bar? Your already set man!

Because Chris knows sticker add 10 hp each. As always car looks great. I just installed my custom fender. You are the reason I bought the Chargespeed sides. Keep up the the great work. You inspired a lot of people with your ambition. You could easily sold out and bought another car.
