just curious to opinions i dont want the flame fest going on a few threads over but do you guys thing the asuka is to much for a weekend warrior or to rice unless i track it from what i was told they might be going out of buisness or there product line is tanking so this could be one of my only chances to pick one up.

the REAL bodykit? I think it would be a little too much for a dd, but if money is not a problem for you, go right ahead.

 

It could be pulled off, but wheel fitment would be crucial. They would make or break it.

 

i didnt know they even made replicas of this kit

 

+a lot

 

I'm not into widebodies but damn it looks good... and yea wheels will make it or break it.

 

Which one is the original? Or is Asuka the original?

 

Asuka is the original. Asuka doesnt make knock-off products, only originals, like their hood in that pic.

Anyways, this kit is awesome, not too much for a weekend warrior but yes too much for a DD. Like others said, wheel fittment is the key.

Too many guys, like Dick in that other thread, dont anticipate that you cant (or not supposed to) throw small wheels with spacers on just to make it work. Keep in mind, you'll prob have to go with a really expensive set of forged wheels as they are usually only ones who make such a wide wheel, so put that in your budget.

This kit is very strictly performance/track in appearence, so youll have to build the rest of the car with that in mind.

IMHO, such an aggressive racing body kit like this should ONLY be put on a car that IS fast (ie, TT, ST, SC, built block, etc). Otherwise the result is a sick looking race car with a stock VQ. YOu look fast, but arent fast, and i dont like that.

Other than that, this kit looks sick, waaaaaayyyyyyy better than the IBpukinatthisdesign kit in the other thread. But if your car aint fast to back it up, you gonna look like a fool.

 

That kit's pretty sick. I've seen it before, but just noticed the gusseted Safety21 roll cage. Sweet!

 

I know that cage is awesome. I saw a few hq pictures of it once before, but I don't remember where.

 

i have to be honest with myself in this case its more of a dreamer body kit than anything else i do have the $$$ to buy and install the kit but I'm not so sure my dedication is there for the rest of the car right now. I'm currently running around with an unpainted body kit. I was just waiting to pick up another since i learned my lesson the hard way with the replicas. Iv always wanted to own the master grade kit but those are almost impossible to find so i was turned onto this kit and imo its pretty much equal to the master grade kit or better. Currently I'm still running stock but already have my 2nd engine in the slow process of being rebuilt in my garage so I'm not concerned with power in the near future. Although with wheels i was hoping to just get a larger width and offset of my current enkie nto3+ m but i have no idea what offsets would work until the kits on the car

 

The NT03-M is a rare wheel on our car for sure, but some have pulled it off, including arguably the best Z to hit this forum, Kal El's Z.

BUT, the widest they make that wheel is a 10.5" for our 114.3 bolt pattern, and only for our bolt pattern iirc. You will need a MUCH wider wheel than 10.5 to pull off this kit without spacers....im not sure how wide exactly, but most likely around a 12"-12.5" wheel...... and they arent gonna be cheap.

 

That Z in your pic is on Wedsports i think, which alot of the "caveman" stance guys have, so i know they come in super aggressive sizes and offsets.

 

but i love my nto3+m i only picked them up two months ago all though im fairly positive during the buying process they go up to 11.5 dont quote me on that though ill look into it

 

i stand corrected they do only go up to 10.5

 

Looky looky what i found, here is that EXACT car's specs in your picture...notice the wheels....:

correct me if im wrong because im not a suspension wiz but wouldn't a 10.5 front and 13 rear give you massive understeer which couldn't be good for the track how would you compensate for that much understeer great find btw

 

Sick kit if you can find it, but yeah you need some aggressive wheels to pull it off.

 

anybody with any other pics of the asuka i only find the demo car pics and one painted a really ugly gold no offense to the owner

 

That's the owner of Asuka's Z.

LOL
