no scripts.. but the point actually isnt the cars.. its the marketing and likes generated tbh..leads for the magazine... if it were a car show.. he w the most money would win.. luckily that wasnt the case here.. trust me.. I am SO SET UP right now that its ridiculous.. this was an AWESOME deal . :O)
Awesome man. It was great to watch this come together from the beginning and see it through to the awards and accolades that came from it.
It's not about the car, it's about the passion of the man behind this build. You made this site, and the Z world in general, a little better for it. If I had a beer, I'd be toasting to you right now. Cheers!

That carbon 370 from last year's battle sure had a Stardast-ish looking kit.

i needed a break.. is what it is.
This year took pounds off my frame w all the rat race going on lol.. needed to stay low for a few weeks and recoup.
So.. Niko is starting the redner os the new color as well as the new wheels today.. and we are going to extende out the rear flares as well to match the same total width as the rocketbunny kit runs. Im still sticking with a 325 rear tire.. but will have a hint of poke now and a much more aggressive offset and lip size.
After 60 plus pages.. any of you still alive in here?

colors are all changing. ^
got my Z1 high capacity diff cover in today.. this thing looks cool as hell. Tons of bungs for fluid pump lines , and also has a boss area for drilling a temp sensor.. and it holds more fluid.. Picked up an Amsoil sponosorship, so that should be a killer set up once i buy a real diff to put in here lol.

new color will be simialr to this... a matte metallic gray w a slight hint of brown in it.
I also sold the F14s to a friend for his woide z we are currently building.. and the current Niche are sold as well.
(too many red wheels on cars right now. )
Were building new wheels... wider , and far more negative. No changes in camber, but will be using a 325 in the rear now, they are already tkaing up space in my garage as we speak lol.
Lip will be carbon fiber as well. brushed double dark tint centers, and titanium hardware, which saves a few total pounds off each wheel.. which is huge.
Were reshaping the rear flares to extended out another inch, same as the rocket bunny kit does.
should be getting into a Nitrous Express wet system and boost based controller soon also... and the plan is to run an AEM Infinity VE tuned standalone ECU as well.
Stay tuned folks.

I have heard it can be a big pain to get everything going, but once you get it all sorted out, it is baller!
I would like to run the Infinity or Haltech myself and plan on it at some point
