^^^ Damn that's one nice neighborhood. Love the flow of the white/black with your Z, have you thought of painting the door handles gloss black or ever plasti-derped just to see how it would look? Gloss black roof vinyl maybe? Just thoughts no criticism your Z is clean as hell.

Placed an order on some Hankook V12's for my RPF1's. Went with 265/35 and 285/35. Can't wait.

Washed the Z yesterday and put her in the garage. One 3 mile to drive today and I can already see dirt on her :c (yeah she is black)

Also took out the hawk pads on all wheels, cleaned em up, cleaned out the shims and calipers. The amount of cakes on brake dust was making em squeal. Added new brake grease

Thanks appreciate it. I think I'm going to vinyl the door handles gloss black just so its easily reversible. Not so sure about the roof though I feel like it's too much black. I like the clean white look.

With wheels and a good drop you can pull it off IMO. Check out my post on pg 302 post #6040 to get an idea of what it looks like without the side skirts.

Understandable. Yeah I think vinyl would put that tiny cherry on top to finish the overall look.

Maybe once I get bored of the look I'll throw it on but for now I'm just going to leave it.

Takatas have some wide upper bolsters (3" wider than my Sparcos), hope you don't have any clearance issues.

That's good to know, although a bit too late ( seats are on the way ). Hope I don't have any clearance issues with the cage...

Yup the finisher is annoying no matter how much you try to pad it...that's if your Z is setup on the stiff side it's more noticeable

I would lift the boot and place a washer or something on the shifter to raise the seat of the finisher so the shift **** puts more pressure on it to keep it still.

Good idea...I read somewhere that by wrapping the threads twice with Kevlar tape it will make it fit tighter.
