Cool. Thanks for looking guys. I appreciate all the feedback, and yes I know I have to get an intercooler, thats next . As for the body kit, thats f*cgkin sweet and that's staying. The rims are nice, I am keeping those too. The wing.. personally I am not a big fan of BIG wings at all, but somehow, it looks coo to me . You have to really see it in person to get the full effect of 4D time and space. When you look at the profile curve of the wings airfoil, it has a very nice thickness and choord length to it, making it a really effective for that negative lift like the damn metal ones that are ugly as heall. I could actually take it off and put a Saito 72 on it and radio gear and fly that beyotch around for fun!! lol

my old civic would milk your 350Z with ease so don't go bashes the hondas since you "changed sides" I've seen 4cly hondas in person put out more WHP then any 350Z I've ever seen or heard of online!


car looks good over all but Im not really a fan of the wing or the stock track wheels "look nice on stock car" but in your case you need some aftermarket wheels

Yea! you're right dude. Go check out my riced out civic on the webpage.

www.TWISTEDFRAME.com

What? Besides, I still have the Honda. And I still have parts that are going in it too. That is being turned into a all track play pretty. I may sell it though. Keep watching the site for updates. You may want to pick it up and use the motor for your civic

So, there are no "sides" here. I'm not that guy. I am a car enthusiast that will collect them all

Did you have it up for sale on Ebay awhile back? I think the person was selling it because they were going through a divorce or something...
That Wings West pod wing is hard to forget .
haha Awesome. You saw it too huh? I get that alot around here.

Well, I haven't heard about the Ebay thing before, but it was definatley in auto trader, the local paper, and the dealer web site for like 2 weeks or so. I actually just so happened to be taking the Honda to get the emmisions checked, when I saw the Z staring me down.

After I cleaned my shorts out, I did a lap and went back to look at it. I was in this stupified drunken state walking up to it, I thought I saw a UFO sitting there.

After the test drive, I bought it.

Added car number 2 to the collection. This is my everyday driver now. -I needed something that I could pimp around in, but also something with a little KICK.

The Honda will run a 14 flat and that thing is the F22B2 (nonVtec, N/A, No NO2) , but very unreliable now and smells horrible due to the emmisions. I can no longer drive it around on the street.

But yes, from what I heard, the guy that bought it and built it, only put like maybe 3k miles on it, and then got a divorce, and what I am thinking, lost the car in the settlement to his wife perhaps, and she sold it to a dealer and lost 20grand on it. To maybe buy shoes or something. You never know.

But that's all speculation, so don't quote me on that.

I speculate like that because why would he go off and sell his baby to a DEALER? I wouldn't , I don't think a guy would do that. Sounds like a pissed off ex-wife thing..

But, I would definately like to ask him a few things about it.. But sort of hope I never actually meet him, cause he may snap and kill me or something. The dealer I got it from is a car nut, and was down in Vegas when he spotted it. He bought it and drove it up here. It had like 5700 miles on it .

But, he can rest assured that I will take better care of it than anyone else around here. This place is FULL of rich microsoft and boeing folks, and they would just love to get that for little jimmy's 15th birthday and bury him in it a week later. What do they care, they can get another Z and another kid.

I saved jimmy's life.

He couldn't handle this car.


I had to take it off the lot.

gorgeous car, horrible wing. I just cant see myself ever buying a modded car, I guess that to me modding mean initializing your own car with parts you chose. Youve got a beautiful car though

Im lost to how your car was new with 5700 miles on it maybe demo car? but then would it be new? hmmmm


anyways the Accord looks clean but engine wise..... well its a clean car





I had tinted windows, 16" wheels, my exhaust was a 3" tip total stocker looking car - the front end =)



IMO the 350Z with basic mods intake/exhaust is kinda peppy but still slow

Thx!

The kit, btw fits really nice, no warps or strange defects to be seen.

There will be more pics of it on my site in a day or so and there are more shown there if youd like to see it. Cause if yours doesnt fit or whatever, send that nonsense back and get it replaced.

I have had it 1 month and 1 day so far, and it's a used '03 model with 7200k on it now, so it's "brand new" to me -and I love that thing holy jeebus it is the coolest shiat I have ever ownZ0r3d!

And yea, as for the looks- it is way better looking than my Honda could ever dream of being and gets waaaay more respect too.

I have a new love. lol I call it Zee.

I also like the oem Track rims. Very neat design. My only real problem was their big offset that sucks them into the wheel wells too far. A while back there was a guy on here from Australia who put some fairly large spacers (25mm, I believe) on his Track rims to push them out a bit and help fill up the wheel wells. It looked *very* nice. I'm a bit wary of big spacers in general, but if you can get some high quality parts (like H&R, maybe?) I imagine they'd be fine. I think he also used Nismo extended length lugs to fit with the spacers.
