I actually just emailed and spoke w Ace at Forgestar.. i guess we shall see if they want to jump on this with me. Either way, Ill order them from Eric at Wheelstudio if not.. Ive already talked to him today as well.




thanks dude.. yeah im a dinosaur for sure lol.

 

Nice Forgestar is actually who I was going to suggest... My friend Robert is sponsored by them and also does sales

 

any chance you could ask him to get in touch w Ace and put in a good word on the build??

 

Bahaha I don't have that kinda pull with him, he actually said to contact Peter @ Forgestar to see what could be done but you're already talking to Ace so idk what that would change

Honestly you have a better chance with most since your car has already been a proven show winner and they wouldn't be close to the only sponsor

 

I follow that cat on instagram. that FRS is sick.

 

^^^ Nice! Yeah Robert is a super chill guy, not someone out there for the money just pure love of cars.

 

now i see the pics.. yeah "stay crushing" etc.. i know that car as well..

No dice on sponsorships.. all wrapped up for this year apparently..

at least they got back to me fast lol. That does help me plan and proceed at least..

Wheel studio it is then.

 

^^^ Yeah I mean show season is already well underway

Basically it's all your fault

 

i concur fully lol..

my builds are year round... show season? Whats that ;lol.

 

k so updates..

this fender kit fits on a stock 350z body.. and can be modified w some work to fit over other kits.. which is of course what were going to do.

I think Kenichi and Shingo are adding everyone they can on fb right now lol...
and they are going to crush the Rocketbunny and Bensopra market.. as these arent for everyone.. BUT.. they are priced around 2 grand ( shipping is going to suck) and fit a stock car.

big key here it the car doest require total recreation.. and the kit wont run more than the car itself.. seems legit.. dunno lol.

 

do you have a link to the kit you are referring to? interested in having a look. I am about to also do some custom work to the exterior aspects of my car, so would be nice to see all options out there.

 

follow that FB blue icon under my avatar man, link up w me there and ill get you over to the owners of Stardast.. were becomming pretty chummy lol.

The idea that I was alone in this endeavor to use thier gear faded quickly..

in reality.. they are going to be EVERYWHERE soon.. production is limited to 10 pieces every 60 days, but still.. for the price and for the fact they fit a stock body z.. you simply cant beat it.

 

What wheel ideas were you thinking? Don't worry I won't steal it. Or better yet what offset and size?

 

so for some updates.. i sold my k3 wheels within 2 days of posting them for sale lol.

and i think im going to ditch the orange seats ( well.. actually i HAVE to w this color wheel)

So im going to buy a set of Sparco Chrono roads in black for now.. and will likely redo them in leather and suede later on down the road..





GDAMN... takat Drift 3s are stupid spendy... smh.. theyre gonna cost me as much as the seats.

Graffiti motorsports harness bar soon after as well.



so about the body..

looks like were going to have to use OEM metal fenders and just blend them into the bottom half of the superleggera ones.



basically cutting off everything above this line and blending it up into a metal fender.

If i can retail that fish gill vent i will certainly do so, but Im not sure how thats gonna work.

 

i actually already bought them. The red Forgestar f14s i posted a while back.



I want a race inspired look vs stretch used on kenichis car... i bought 19x11 -6 all around in the super deep concave fitment.

Ill use a 20 mm spacer up front and a 38 mm spacer in the back.
Effecgive is then of course -26/-46 which is about dead on for Kenichis fit..
using spacers lets me adjust it perfectly to get the tires to fit if i dont stretch.. and these wheels will fit other cars if i sell things again.

 

Very nice choice.

 

Gorgeous wheel.

 

Nice pick with the F14's, Robert used to run them as well lol

 

Brian, who is going to get their Stardast kit on first, you or me? ;-)

 

the way i change sh#t around, im sure i know whos going to take longer lol.

But id put money on someone else popping up w it on before either of us too lol.
