im lovin that smurf teal blue too lol.
this is going to become a stupid car (stupider car) fast lol.

 

bump! any updates?

 

Nope.. I havent had room to even start.. nor ahve i had the tools.. my air compressor for the garage/shop is my Christmas present this year from the other half.. which is fine as Ive been working on my daily car right now instead.. lots more needs to be done on this guy..

 

updates:

body parts will ship out Monday.

no pics for you tho lol.

 

Leave alone damn it!

 

lol.. the VS is played out man.. i havent liked it for a few years now.. its kind of embarassing at shows to be honest lol.... body work is easy anyways

 

Cant wait to see how good the new set up turns out!

 

Gracias.. I can't wait to show the car once or twice during the process..while its totally naked Lol.. no bumpers..no side skirts. No hood..no fenders.. no liners...just doors hatch n headlights lol.

Sent from my DROID RAZR MAXX HD using IB AutoGroup

 

Nice, shocked I missed this.

 

updates

 

sub for the updates!

 

lol ^ youll be part of said updates..
just waiting til after the holidays to get my order underway w you.

 

just some sketches to give you an idea of the goal in mind here..

all the lines are just for reference, not part of my build..









Not sure of course how or exactly where im going to cut and end the fenders, so this is just how im getting ideas before hacking up the real thing.

Thanks to VIS again, the double Hump Asuka style roof will be bolted up and glued down during this process too.
The car goes to its last meet as is tonight, and then I start taking it all off and slowly mocking up the new parts, making mounting points and drilling holes etc.

Nothing will be permanantly installed for the next few months... only test fit and mock up status.. should be fun to drive around w bare minimum sheet metal.


Again, probably going to end up w some R compound tires since they will be so visible.. and most likely will run 19" wheels w taller sidewalls.

Car is getting pinned to the ground on UAS airbags over the Stance Coilovers.. lets me air them WAY up for max spring rate while setting them low on the coil.. very little lift will be possible, but it generally will ride very stiff (12-14k ish) at "ride height" .... then air out at shows.

 

I wish you went with the Greddy front bumper out of their widebody kit. One of the best looking front bumpers for the Z IMO.

 

saw this one in person up against my car and was sold.. also very rarely used.. you dont see them much..nice and short too vs long nose. which was the idea behind the whole change honestly. ..

and... my sponsor had an authentic one to send me in stock.. cant beat that.

 

Your Z going to look like a KNIGHT of The Road!!!

 

nice mockup. really like the front you decided to go with for same reasons you chose it.

 

I like the idea with the fenders. I love that aggressive turismo per say look

 

I loathe the rear bumper but the lines are in the right places.

 

"loathe" he says haha.

"youll RUE the day Trebek!"

yeah i finally drove in my other car along side someone else driving my Z last night.. that thing looks NUTS on the fwy when it flies by... complete " fugizzat?!" moment for sure.. never realy NEEDED to change the back end.. really just the front and sides.. but might as well just freak the whole thing out.

Plus... this rear bumper is A) already in my garage lol.. and B) should look pretty similar /legit w a big functional aluminum diffuser built into it.
