Default Got my Frankenstein 350Z back !!!

After a long series of idiots crashing into my 350Z in the last year, I got it back today after being hit my a Metro Bus that ran a red light about 5 weeks ago. It looks great, runs great and sounds like a speed boat.

Driving it with the Tilton 8 lb. flywheel and rally clutch, and Nismo LSD on the hardest setting is an experience not to be missed.

Here is my current set-up:

2003 Silverstone Track (NAV & all options except side airbags)
Competition wheels and tires: Nismo 5-spoke forged 18" x 18.5" front, 18" x 9.5" rear,
with Kuhmo Ecsta MX 245/40/18 front, 275/35/18 rear
Street wheels and tires: Stock Rays forged 18" Track wheels with Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position tires, 225/45/18 front, 255/45/18 rear
Nismo Limited Slip Differential
Tilton 8 lb. Flywheel
Tilton Rally Clutch
Tein Coil Overs with Electronic Damping Control
Nismo S-tune Swaybars
Crawford Strut Brace
TechnoSquare ECU - custom flash
Nismo R-tune Cams
Crawford Plenum
Borla Headers
UR Racing Pulleys
RT High-flow Cats
JWT Popcharger Intake
Borla Dual Cat-back Exhaust
Z-xtreme Grounding Kit
Drilled Titanium Pedals
Airbag Cut-off Switch (passenger side)

What's Next?
Koyo Radiator with special race cooling fluid
EVO 3.9 Final Drive Ratio ring & pinion (if EVO is ever able to deliver it)

Amazing. You can post crap. Change your name. Post more crap. Change your name. Post some more crap. Change your name. Post more crap. Change your name yet again. Post more crap. Change your name I dunno, 6 times now? And, change your name. And, you're still here. Cockroaches got nothing on you and that metro bus didn't stand a chance.

BTW, Frankenstein 350Z is a registered trademark of mcduck as evidenced by this thread started way back on 10-10-03.

Please refrain from using this description for your beast as Frankenstein 350Z only is applicable to the beast pictured below. When you can provide a dyno of your car in excess of 425rwhp, you may contest this trademark... until such time, you may only claim the name of Frankenberry or possibly Count Chocula for your Z.
