Got the v3 all done. Had to fab custom under panels and license plate frame since I didn't want to drill holes. Waiting on the reflectors.

 

Looks good, John.

 

Looks awesome.

 

Dayummmm. Looks good sparco.

 

Awesome job, awesome color mr. sparco! Dayam, that looks righteous.

 

Damn lower control arms are ever so slightly too big for the SPL compression rod bushings.

Looking into an adhesive to hold them tight.

 

really?? This is extremely disappointing. SPL supposive quality and charging ridiculous $$ for parts should mean OEM fit IMO!

So what youre telling me is the parts Im going to install dont even fit! lol

 

Not necessarily. I'm not sure what OEM tolerance is on the part but I assume my lower control arm is just at high end of the tolerance so it's just a little too big. Although, it would be nice if they made their parts big enough to hit all the tolerance possibilities and the end user would just have to take off some material if they were on the low end of tolerances.

Just part of the fun of buying aftermarket.

 

I hate aftermarket fun lol

 

Lol. Nothing a little industial adhesive can't fix.

 

Glad I got to see your car in person again

 

Sparco... Is that driver side headlight out of position? Bumper looks great!

 

Swapped the front and rear turn signals to clear. Also, fixed this damn vibrating sound from my trunk, turned out to be a loose bolt and one of the metal retainer clips vibrating against the metal body.

 

Stiffened my rear sway added brake and clutch resevoir socks. Added new v band to my nismo exhaust fixed a rattle as well. Debating stripping my trunk...

 

Thanks gents!

 

That diff bushing gave me a hell of a time. Had to hammer the **** out of it and wiggle it in. It's still a slight bit (1/8") away from being all the way in but I figure I'll finish it up tonight. I was just getting frustrated by the end of it and that never leads anywhere good...

 

Oh I bet dude! I had to take my Z up to CIN for something else so I brought the diff bushing and was like here! You do it! ROFL Dude was hammering the **** outta it for a good long while! More power to you for DIYing it!


Nice bro, you will notice a difference in pedal response! Seeign you are doing bushing overhaul I would highly recommend poly subframe bushings as well! The turn response when you get in the gas is a lot better!

 

I'm excited. Should be getting the car back together by the end of the weekend at the latest (tonight if I'm feeling... chipper).

 

Been working on this for a couple weeks.

 

Finally got the car off of stock wheels. Maxed out the rear coil so I couldn't get it to sit perfect, but I'm still happy with the outcome.
