Nice Z8 Roadster. I'd trade for that!!

 

Power mods on the GT as follows...
The GT had a Vortech Supercharger (V1 Polished) with Steeda Boost Pipe, Ported Heads, Cams, Long Tube Headers, Bassani Offroad X-Pipe, Magnaflows (Polished), Carbon Shaft, Ford Racing 3.73, King Cobra Clutch, Excedy Lightweight Flywheel, Plenum, Accufab 70mm Throttle Body, & a Diablosport Predator.

 

Thanks capt, I'm joining as I post this right now.

 

I gotta look into that, I think I just rather pay the same for a Twin Setup... I will research prior to purchase of course, I'll be doing the install myself, so also ease of install will be a must.

Thanks tatt

 

Dayum, what did your bodyshop replace? We are replacing the bumper, driver headlight, bumper support, every damn bracket in there, and that huge Metal bar in the front (don't know name... lol) the member.

 

That Z8 is one of my boss's many cars.

His garage = Comapany Warehouse

These he owns other than the Z (his only non red car) lol,

2006 Ford GT in Red
2005 Powerdyne Supercharged 5.4L F150 in RED
2006 BMW 330 in RED
1999 Ferrari F355 Spyder in RED
2000 Mustang Cobra R in it's own color, RED

He also owns a small list of classic mustangs, shelby's, and other junk. He's a great guy. Best boss I've had

 

Welcome to the board, sorry that happend to you with just a few days with the car, but once fixed it will be like new again. Keep chacking the forum that captj3 gave you, meets are posted there. There are at least two constat members with turbo, one with a greddy (westpak) and one with an APS (catj3). Who know may be we can even plan a meet/event to your boss' warehouse and check out all the great cars

 

Easier to install the single turbo set up. You can use the stock exhaust manifolds. Single turbos are always easier to get power out of as well.
Check this one out:

Thanks tatt for the link, I'm gonna go single setup...

By the way guys I got my car back today from the shop, looks great, I'll post a pic or two later, its a stock lowered Touring Z for now...

Some guy in a Turbo new style Celica sorta raced me he says, he lost if he did, and then told me that the Z headlights are a copy of the celica's....

I thought I'd share that....

 

LOL nice capt.! was just gonna mention SFZCC its a great club though!!! but sorry to hear about the Z, been there done that one good luck and enjoy your stay here, just wait till that modding bug hits ya though

 

it seems a lot of these misfortunes have been happening to new Zs. Looks like there are a lot of haters/jealous people out there....

 

here are the shots... not a big thing, a little dar, I use my IPAQ Camera and it sucks at night but you can see something...




I'm doing wheels first, front lip and veilside valances after... single turbo will take a bit, it's quite expensive... lol

 

Check out WheelDiscount and ask for Ritchie, tell him Pete with the SS 350z sent you. Please just dont buy the RH j8's I already have 2 twins running around Miami.

 

My Z was in the body shop for 3 weeks out of the first 4 that I owned it. Almost 1 week to the minute after I got the car, it was hit by an I-Beam that got kicked up by the pickup truck in front of me. I was really lucky and the beam went underneath the car.

I'm starting to sense a trend here...a lot of people's Z's have mishaps right after purchase.

 

lol, if he drives a red IS300 on iForged wheels, I don't think he'll sell to me... lol... I'll call him, I've known him for years.... thanx!

 

I can't believe he tried running away...did he have a reason as you busted him?

 

Yep thats him! Sorry to hear about your car but at least its fixed now. I have a good story, I'm at my inlaws having dinner and my wife had to take a run to publix. She decides to not take my car because she knows how picky I am about it. So she gets into her moms car, doesnt notice that Im parked just off to the side and runs into the back corner of my Z. Now I have to fix my car AND my mother in laws. NICE.....

 

That sux ***, dude from now on I park and walk, no more next to the door spots.. way far from entrances... alone, anyway...

I got wheels today, they are on, but I was lazy for pics, I wont say which wheels until I show pics. Some peeps seem to talk **** around here in Miami about them, to me they look awesome.

I'll post pics soon.

 

The guy says he didn't feel or hear while he hit the vehicle... What can I say... I momentarily threatened him verbally. lol, then he like, bow down... and walked to my car with his hands covering his head....

 

grr i hate when they run... glad you caught him
