Nice uodates Brian... Been in that truck b4, some epic stories there haha...

Good call on the exhaust!, I've been fan of singles since I had the jIC back in the days, if I could use a similar can but for a 4" version I would. Btw, do you have a render with that diffuser?
Glad you going with that color too man, I think it was make every other mod stand out more, which your sponsors will like too!


Trailer is nice for the long road trips like when you come visit up north, But man, enjoy it and drive it too! Too much much hotness not to enjoy and max out those 5k insurance miles

I have the Tomei Expreme as well, It's a great exhaust man, I think you'll love it. Between 1 - 2k RPM's you get that nice VQ sound, and above that it turns almost F1-ish. I'm interested to see what it sounds like on a boosted motor though, if you get a chance to post clips at some point.

I shoulda known you had the hook-ups anyway, haha. I'm surprised I haven't seen that video, but that's sick. Through a crappy GoPro mic too, so imagine how it'll sound in person.

yeah 2 things.. i have an electric cut out before the metal cat on the down pipe.. side exit exhaust.. also going to add the Apexi ECVso i can put my hand over the Tomei's mouth if i wind up at a light by a cop... kills your boost and all power, but its there for a single purpose really.. momentary hush.

got my remote control and wifi bacpac for the gopro today.. will come in handy w the harness bar mount.

all major items on the z are all nearly done now.. just finish sanding and body work to smooth out the front bumper, adding weather strip back on to the hatch.. had the license plate light mount tabs built so we can handle that...


the car should be back in my hands jsut after new years id imagine.. ill need to rewire the taillights/turnsignal modules... and hatch button.. but aside from cleaning it up again.. it will be aready for a wrap and for the wings and diffusers to be installed when they show up.

Had to order a half inch adapter spacer for the nardi wheel.. and a retainer ring to be able to sue this weird horn button.. should also be here next week.

this duck tail is available now actually, it is hand made so it has the normal 3 month plus wait time.. i know that the price landed to the US was 1180.. im not sure how the shipping would change going to Italy... the landed costs included in the 1180 is a LCL container ship to California... im not sure what the cost would be reduced by removing that boat freight.. but then we would be looking at another shipping method to Italy.. if you are still interested send me a message here.

Most epic, yet indecisive build evar! I got lost between Star Dast, VIS, VS, Amuse, Jun, custom louvers and now Garage Mak. Not sure what is going on here. lol Your garage must be like a warehouse of goodies up to the ceiling.

the influx of goods to my place is truly unbelievable.. yes it is true.

My TOmei exhaust came in today down at the shop.. time to go pick it up and post a few pics tomorrow morning.

Found a new carbon fiber cover kit similar to what i already have installed ( switch panels, center waterfall etc) but this one includes a molded overlay shell for the entire center console as well.. having that whole piece flow as one carbon shape will be dope imo.. especially w the gauge hood and side piece that i picked up from Jackson Lueng.

My body guy is going to help me add some resin and cf cloth to it for strength before it gets upholstered along with the seats.. ..might add some very light gauge steel to the handle side of the waterfall portion under all that matting so it remains thin but very strong in case someone actually uses it as an oh sht bar lol.
