Default Everything done on the car minus EDFC wiring, brake bleeding, and alignment.

she is dirty, but back in one piece (on the outside atleast)...

took me a little longer than i thought cause i went to a job interview today (and brushed up on some skills last night). they are going to offer me a position this afternoon... i will be gainfully employed again!!!

anyway,

i only drove 2 miles in it so far, just to get gas. i dont want to push it until i get atleast the brakes bled. (and hopefully a meaningful alignment soon).

the car drives like if it were on rails now. i didnt have any missing parts, or left over parts!! (besides what was replaced).

the drop is only about 10mm F/R, about 1/2 of what nismo kit drops. again, i can lower another 2 full inches if i wanted to...

i did hook up the edfc temporarily under the hood, so i could verify it all was working good... it is THE BOMB! watching the stepping motors turn the dampening screws is pretty neat. also, it makes this sound like in futuristic movies.

people who know where i live can come to see the car before 5PM or after 8PM. i will be gone between those hours, and when i get back, the brake bleeding starts.

i will be giving free rides to the person who comes up with a good interior spot for the EDFC controller..

here are 2 pics for everyone who lives far away...

i will be taking more pics this weekend after i clean it and the matrix.

All I have to say is that is looking incredible. I can't wait to see some more pictures of the aero kit and whatnot when you finish the whole thing. I am sure there will be many pictures. Your car is my idle.

Question

Your side skirts look a little darker than the body....I'm sure it's probably just the lighting. Are you satisfied overall with the color-matching of the kit?

That's looking GREAT! I wish I still lived in Dallas so I could check it out in person. I'm looking forward to hearing more about the post-mod handling. Keep up the good work.

Please DON'T tell me that you really believe that. I hope the Z doesn't become like the Honda where everybody looks at me in my Honda and all I have done is Wheels, REAL Koni Shocks, strut tower bar, etc.....basically all REAL stuff and all these guys with BODY kits look at me like my car is incomplete. I am SO getting away from that SCENE!!!! the Z looks GREAT stock

btw, Ski, looks good and tastful, lets get more pics asap

I have a set of Mercury silver, and a set Gunmetal GT-C's that aren't spoken for yet. They should be here in the next 4 weeks.
