Fuuuuuudgee me that's sexxxyyy. Didn't realize someone had that color, I'll have to see if I can check it out more. I almost like it more than the Mexico blue. He's got my Voltex wing too. Son of a B. Edit: and those (?)craft mirrors. The exact mirrors I was wanting. Well, scratch off my plans, its already been done. Atleast I know it looks sick. Lol

Changed up the color on the wheels and added some mickey Thompson et streets. They make the black marks darker and thicker, lol. Tires are not pictured in this pic. I just got back from having them installed. Paid $60 for them, 245/45/18 plenty of life left. Will be upping the rear tires soon.

Got my RPF1's installed last week. I was really busy so didn't have a chance to post these. I'm going to concentrate purely on suspension for my upcoming mods.

18's 9.5 / 10.5 +15 wrapped around in Hankook V12's 265/285 35.

I spent a couple of hours trying to find out whereabouts the rattling/rumbling is coming from somewhere at the rear of my Z. I think I've narrowed it down to knackered drop links or dampers. More time and investigation needed though to make sure.

Woke up and washed the z around 730am. Met up with Taywan and went to the east vs west soho event. signed up for the dyno event but the Z wanted to act up today, pretty sure I have a short somewhere in the harness. Will get dealt with soon..other than that, event was pretty good.

They're used. I got a steal of a deal from a guy whose been trying to sell them for about 6 months. Randomly found him on the interwebs. Was getting married last weekend and needed the cash. It was a perfect storm. So I cheaped out anyways!

I guess hahah you can see the turbos in the pic actually, he located them in the rear.
theyr on both sides of the exhaust setup. in a wrap/casing. just look closely and you might be able to make it out.
said he was running it conservative at 6lbs and doesn't really even feel it till 3rd gear

also mentioned a carbon fiber driveshaft

said it was pushing between 750 - 800. But has the capabilities to do alot more.

Played with the car a little, checked it out after Thursdays trackday. Motor is trashed, 156k and it drank over 2 quarts at the track on Thursday. Safe to say, the motor is done. Everytime I start it, I can clear Mosquitos in my area.
