Just rashin' ya. And thanks for changing their pose, Mike, but I kinda liked lookin' at 'em from the rear. Snort snort

I've heard CK's theory on the weights and all that but in reality, even with 1/2# on the fronts of my old replicas, no diff. If the wheels are balanced properly, this should be a moot point but maybe...

...my feeble old hands just couldn't feel anything.

And with square set, what happens when you rotate? Hunh? Hunh? Heh heh.

 

installed my wilwood brakes and rotors -closed up the gap that has existed since swapping out the 17 inch touring wheels for the 18 inch track v1's...

 

Ya know I don't really care about the weighting physics. With my skill set I gots lots of more important issues (yes and fiber) - the tire dude marked them. All that matters is the best wheels are on the driver side. Oh, and btw they came off a GTR, so they're just going to be that much faster.

 

Nice who did you order them from? I saw them on summit racing they look nice.

 

bought a set from a member on here way back in october or so, (before i had bought the rays v1 track wheels) - but- due to scheduling issues- it took til this week to get the brakes installed. for a mounted but never used kit that had been sitting for longer than i've owned them- they mounted up pretty good- hardest part was aligning them with the shims - and bleeding them since the bleed screws were a bit clogged (i am guessing from old fluid/dust from laying around for so long)
i'll try to take some pictures of them installed today.
from the little bit of driving i've done since mounting- i will have to say- they really do feel to make a difference....going on longer drive today to give them more of a work out

 

took the car cover off

 

dboyz- here are pictures- crappy tho' they may be- went for 50 mile ride today- mainly on surface street to get plenty of speed up and stop type usage. so far so good- the set up i got was the Brake Kit No: 140-9192 fronts, Brake Kit No: 140-9507 rears, Product Number: 220-9196 front flexlines, Product Number: 220-9197 rear flexlines, and the pads are the wilwood compound B10 ones...

 

1st post! Hey everybody! Just picked up my 1st Z a couple of weeks ago. Extremely clean '07 Enthusiast 6 spd, 53k orig miles. 2 owner car, no accidents. Came with aftermarket sway bars and springs, leaving the car 1/2" lower than stock.
So far all I've done is add "switchback" lights to the front reflector area. Not going to go nuts in mods. lol.
Other than that, I say good morning to it as I make my daily 10 minute commute to work. What a fun car!

 

Congrats!!!

PS...... We ALL say we're not going nuts on mods. Lmao. Depends on your idea of nuts

 

good one... Welcome

 

Those look super awesome

 

Ok, so I'll amend my post. I'm already looking at led replacements for the interior and tail end. Lol. I think I'm going to need an intervention......

 

Ha!!! I said the same thing

 

Ordered a dash kit for a double din I picked up at Christmas. I'll install it this weekend. The radio will be the only mod I have aside from LED interior & license plate lights, K&N drop-ins, and an S2000 antenna I *traded* for (I was working at a dealership at the time, and put my antenna on the S2000 after I took its antenna. If you have an S2000 with a stupid long antenna, I apologize ).

Coming from an older 3 series BMW that I did a ton of stuff with, I'm just happy with the Z not giving me any issues in the 4 years I've had it lol.

 

Test pipe install today!!!
I still get all giddy over a new part

 

Welp that could have went smoother

 

How could it go smoother, Mike? That bolt head looks pretty smoove to me.

 

It was even smoother after I grinded it off... Apparently my order of operation was off, im not having a great time getting the flywheel off with no engine internals.

I used a hood rod and a mallet to get the cylinders out... I was getting impatient and frustrated...

I also spent a good hour trying to figure out how I could safely raise my car off the ground enough to hang out underneath for a long period of time.. The fact that the entire side comes up makes life a little difficult.

 

That was actually a good one

 

Stopped home with my work truck and used the muscle impact to get the last 4 flywheel bolts off... Stupid torx heads guess im lucky I didn't break the heads off those.
