recently took my z in to get my fenders rolled, coils, camber and rims/tires installed with ed @ advance powerhouse and i was pleasantly surprised that they took such good care of my z.

not that i was expecting anything less, but i've been to MANY shops around the GTA and it's quite obvious that ed and his entire crew are very meticulous in their actions and are equally as **** retentive as me when it comes to keeping their shop clean and organized.

and they were quick too! i've never seen a shop work so diligently and efficiently in my life it was like watching a group of santa's elves working in their workshop, every person with a purpose and task. when one person left a station, another interchanged and picked up the slack, it was really quite funny actually

didn't really have time to take any pictures (or give my z a good wash after the rain we got yesterday ) but here's an extreme myspace angle shot!



so thanks ed, brian and alic @ advance powerhouse for installing my parts with no drama, and also a special thanks to frank @ speedstar for sourcing my parts and listening to me complain while they were arriving

more pics to come! (mbb hock! it's picture time )

 

i still cant believe u got rims...

 

MBB! I don't know about you but I love how our rims turn black at night...its like...batmans out baby to kick ***! ;p

 

I want to see !!!!! Stupid rain!

Congrats bro! I knew Ed wouldnt let you down!

 

have you "tested" out the new setup yet?

 

sexy rims.

 

unlikely with the rain...

 

it dried up for a bit in the evening :P

 

it's essentially because of your v2 that i got rims you know so in a way, you're responsible for all of this

 

they're a bit too flashy already. as i was leaving ed's shop, i had two cars stop and line up beside me. one dude asked me to race his POS z24 and the other yelled "nice rims" but gave me this "i'm going to jack your car" grin

suffice it to say, i twerboo'd my way out of lawrence and dufferin area ASAP

 

You freaking pooC

 

i told ed that if something went wrong, i'd send you in for surprise buttsekz, so that may have helped the situation

 

haha glad this doesn't happen to me yet...they alrady know i'm a slowazz driver by my driving behaviour.

 

not yet, but the feel of the car has definitely changed. yes, there's more traction and cornering seems flat, but steering response seems more sluggish so far. i'll know more after i give my z a good wash and take her out on a nice day (hopefully sometime this weekend).

btw, having coils around markham stinks. i had to turn off steeles because of the crappy, uneven pot-holed roads

 

Looks good J you Ricer haha

j/k

 

haha...avoid the bus turn lanes for sure! On yonge I have to like...turn into the plaza and take one of the plaza's exits because all the turn lanes have been fuked up by the weight of the buses. :*(

 

yeah J, you ricer

 

i did some clearance tests yesterday by driving over some speed "humps" and some full speed bumps at pacific mall. so far so good, no scrapes or bottom outs, but i wonder how that'll change with the v2 on

 

saw some daylight pics that ed posted up on fb, looks good

as for steering feeling sluggish, I wonder if ti's due to the extra 60mm total of rubber grip, or the heavier rims, or both...

The steering is abit heavy for me, but still feels pretty responsive when i bumped up to 255 up front.

 

v2 = no PMall speed bumps
