Lot's of Talking the Talk........
The purpose of my question was to ask who preferred performance over looks, or rather form over function. Apparently I touched a nerve with Lil' Eric there. As to why my car is 2" low, perhaps it's due to the bilstein coil overs......I'm not sure. If it bugs you Eric, I will certainly raise it a bit to keep you happy.
I will post pix next week. And yes Lil' Eric, there will be more than one photo. Let me know what you would like me to add to substantiate authenticity and I will gladly accommodate you.
At present my Z is in the shop. Since my original profile listing, the following has changed: Motor has been "built" and now has forged rods and pistons as well as a Giken twin plate clutch. The boost will remain at 8.5. I am not sure how it will do on the dyno. Prior to these mods, the chip was removed and the motor was retuned with the "Uprev" system. When that was done, it dynoed at 384 rwp. I'm really curious to see what it does on the next pull. Hopefully better!

I hope you don't think that anyone is impressed. Go look in FI if you want impressive.
As far as you lil question. I like both looks and performance and don't see no reason to choose between the two. I respect a car that is all go and no show way before I do one that is the opposite
There are a lot of people who mod their cars so that they are better at a given sport they participate in.
Drag racing, autocrossing, road racing, drifting, rally etc.......
When you said you were a "walker", I thought you were implying that you "do" stuff.
But you just listed a bunch of parts. While I fully respect the skills required to modify and tune a car, it sounds like you just signed the checks that payed for the parts/labor.
That's not "walking". That's shopping.

Thank you! I would love to go FI but all I can afford are the bolt ons and some exterior stuff. FI is the last thing im going to do....and it will be 100%more worth it at the end
after reading your thread it seems more to me that you are just some teen wanna-be since you care about crap like thatThe purpose of my question was to ask who preferred performance over looks, or rather form over function.

Wow OP. Just because you have a nice car doesnt make you a bad a$$, just to let you know. You could try to be a little more humble. There are lots of people on this forum that have "built" motors with FI, so where as your car will be fast, it is not the only one. After reading your posts you seem to me to be a major talker. You cant come in here super sarcastic picking on members and expect others not to return the favor.
