Default Fine Tuned

This show is on speed channel right now. They are fine tuning a 350z. Putting a vortex SC and some other stuff. Some cool drifting too.

I think the show was very dissapointing and frankly kind of boring.

The car looked great in the end, but overall kind of a boring show.

It ran too long... They could have done all that in 1/2 an hour without all the fluff.

At least the build was all business... Not like some of the stuff that rides out of "Pimp my Ride".

I agree, the skulls didn't go with the flow!

almost as gay as nopi turner vision. The finished product was nice I guess (even though they didn't ever tune the car lol) but the show itself was pretty ricey.

With all of the modifications that they did on that car, I thought the dyno readings were pretty dissappointing. It came to 325 hp at the wheels, an 85 hp gain. After all that work, on everything from the exhaust, flywhell, clutch, SC, intercooler (C02 blast), etc. Not that much bang for the buck on that build.

That show needs some serious writing and editing help. Glad I watched it on Tivo, that way I skipped over as much of the boring crap as possible.

I didn't think the airbrush dude was very talented, the helmet just didn't look to be like a quality job, the skulls on the skirt looked more like grease had been smeared onto the car.

Watched it also and was very disappointed with the performance outcome. Instead of installing all that fluff (interior mods, etc.), they could have slapped a TT and gained much more power. I guess did not want to deal with building the stock engine. Also, WTF -- Magnaflow exhaust!? They could have installed a better exhaust system if they're spending that type of $$$s. Suspension & brake system were good upgrades.
