I'm glad he took my advice! Not glat at the end result. Why is everyone about show nowadays...no one wants to go fast, rather roll up and parkhard

^^lol wait so...

OP gets flamed cause his car looked like sh*t

spends a ton of money... decides to mod his car to please everyone and gets flamed again cause it still looks like sh*t

then he gets mad at everyone for telling him the right way to do things and ends up spending a sh*t load of money to do it right.




conclusion......

"Ok, what really happened was one night when Mick was changing lanes on a narrow bridge he lost control and instead of hitting a Lincoln Town car coming straight at him, he opted to hit the SUV that was traveling the same direction as Mick. It destroyed his wheels and did a bit of front end damage"

200+ hours on a body kit? Even more lulz.

That body kit has been modded after VIS for an extra 4 inch wider stance. Pretty sure it could take a while to custom fit those 20x13 wheels in there...

ive seen this car on youtube before under a "WIDE 350z" search.. not sure why ppl still think this is a wide car.. meh.

Not a bad car at all i say now.. but not what i would of course do w my car...., and my opinion matters little, but this thread is fantastic.

I kill ppl for a living.. i love it. haha.

People probably think its "wide" because of what is talked about in the write-up - "John did a very aggressive 2” pull per side in the rear plus some fiberglass and bondo to finish things off." "There you have it, after 2.5 months of hard work and many trips back and forth from the body shop the car was finally done. "

Sounds like a "legit" wide body Z to me!

In my book, yes. Heres my logic, correct me if I am wrong. You have a stock width body. His is 4 inch wider body, hense wide body...

I understand that some people value form over function, and I'm all for people doing what they want with their stuff.

However the idea of spending money on FI for a car that has been engineered to go slow just doesn't compute.

Anyway if it was not for the haters, alot of hard work and time my Z would not be where it is today.

I have added my second set of wheels, 20" x 10" with 235 all round, second set of coilovers, Megan racing track, Willwood BBK's and a Precision 6262 turbo plus a bunch of other stuff. I have spent 100's of hours in the garage modding this thing with some help of my good mate Jason.

She is street tuned with Osiris and putting down around 400hp on 8psi anyway enjoy the pics.












HAHA I was at IA that day, in fact I'm in the picture of your car you can only see the top of my head above the hoodv and the guy in the red shirt is my boy chris. I don't see why folks hated I got 19's on my stock Z

Wow, well, because he didn't just do 20's, he did 20's about as wrong as possible...

I liked this shot from the first build, it just highlights how bad the idea was, there's about an inch of wheel with no tyre on it!!




At the very least, the new build as wider tyres, he still went wider *still* with the wheels, but they're closer, only now they stick out past the bodywork, which, i'm pretty certain is illegal.

Either way, my main thoughts on this car, it really is designed to be a stationary paperweight, not my cup of tea, love the pics from stance nation though, very good night photography.

Still looks like ****... the Mods cleaned up the first 5 pages back when this was going on so a lot of his posts were deleted. The wheels still look like crap and the kit looks horrible.
