^It might be some time before he answers due to his bannage.

This thread was doomed from the jump.

The tires alone must weigh more than 20lbs each. Are you saying your 20X10 wheels weight less than 20lbs each?

Agreed. Respect for the time and money spent on it, but the wheels are gross, the tires are too thin on the rear, the lip needs paint (even if it stays black) and the stickers a goofy.

I like the door handles though, looks good.

^^^ BTW, not trying to be a *****, but judging by your Awesome BBK and from the pics of ur engine bay, I doubt the figures. I mean, if your just guestimating that's cool, (only if you admit it, if u lie and try and BS us, that's not cool). My only advice, tone ur guestimation down a bit. Cuz from the pics it looks like your only go fast goody is a straight bolt on Turbo kit. And w/ just that running at 8psi on an Osiris tune... I REAAAALLY doubt ur pushing 400 ponies...

Still confused on the very expensive calipers and why the rear is on the front...

Other than that, the stickers kill it for sure...

Not trying to knock your car...

Probably just caliper covers and not real calipers

Edit: Nevermind, I looked back over the pics... not covers. Sooooo, why are the backs on the front? Is this kit not meant for the Z and u just hacked it together to make it fit on ur Z???... Regardles, those calipers are grossly inadequate for the front of the car, just saying

Alot of "custom" built Willwood set ups are like that... the hats are huge with really small brake rotor surface. So he got them for really really cheap.. further solidifying that its a horrid build.

Yeah, makes sense. I just figured he bought the calipers for a smaller, crappier car like a Yaris or a Civic or something and put those on the Z. But what u said definitely makes way more sense thou... Anywho, to OP, if you read this, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't drive your car like that, much less speeding (which, judging from the overall big picture, you probably do because you're probably one of those 17y/o's spending daddy's money). Not only are you going to eventually kill yourself (and if you speed w/ those brakes on the front, it's not a matter of if but a matter of when, cuz it WILL happen) but you also endanger those around you who shouldn't have to pay the price for your douchebaggery...

Looks like a 12 year old threw a bunch of random stickers, wheels and painted/unpainted body parts in a bucket and put together a "kewl" ride. What were those cars called that you could build with the mini-wrenches etc. back in the day? Anyway... I digress.

Only hating because you made the thread trying to rub a pos in everyone's face like you've put in a godmode cheat on Gran Turismo.

Now, use the hate to power your next invention; they're interesting!

wow serious rotor fail. if you look closely, its not even a 2 piece rotor. its a 1 piece rotor that was painted. the parts that are silver are from the brake pad wearing the paint off. so ricer of him.
