thats a clean, smooth looking Z, for some reason, the lines just blend together and the bumper just finishes it off.

oh yeah, great numbers too!

i would highly doubt that, then he would have to go back to all his posts making fun of me and change them all. by the time he was done with that then the new Z would be out...

Ron CONGRATS! Can I have a ride one of these days! Just in case I decide to go your route? How many miles does your Z have on it?

Also how was the drive up from / to Forged? How long did it take you to get there?

I'm also a stickler about the aesthetics and not sure about how it would look inside.
Yeah, Jeremy is definetly not a stickler about the aesthetics!!

Although from the outside it does look pretty clean and stock.

Seems like you want to keep your car showable Ron, thats cool.

tig488 - Thanks, I appreciate it.

Eric (sideways350z) - Thanks Eric; your ride is forthcoming.

Gunmetal-Z - Thanks!

Chucky - Thanks man!

Jeremy - Haha! That would be an interesting show....we both need tranny help though.

Priscilla - Thanks! Sure you can have a ride. It's addictive though. I rode in Sharif's car before mine was boosted and I was hooked. Yes, I'm still going for the balance of show and go but with a little more go.

Toby - Thanks man.....I feel the same way about your ride.

350zlee - Thanks! I'll post up vids in the next couple of weeks.

Here's a few more pics of the engine bay with and without the "show" cover.

yeah man, wait a week or two and look at my turbo 400 set up, i will be recessing the shifter down into the stock position with the stock plastic back on top of it, it will look stock, then, well, it will hold anything you will throw at it.


1500 -1700 for tranny with warranty good to 1500 hp/tq, 400 flexplate, 300 adapter, and 1 000 000 for the install (what a *****) hehe jk

definitely a winning combo for still less than an upgraded tranny, plus you could sell your stock auto, plus all the upgrades you have so far and have one of the sickests cars around because you will be able to put that power down and it WILL shift...

i mean, the third gear is just like your 4th gear in your auto, so its not too bad, plus the newer trannies have overdrive, i am looking into stuff right now

Congrats Ron on a fantastic build and beautiful Z! Awesome numbers with a 5AT on a conservative DD dyno. Come on, now it's the G's turn for a little attention.

Whoa! I didn't know you could recess the shifter. Very encouraging to sat the least. Thanks!
