^^^ I can't wait to see this. It's hott as is, I can't imagine it getting any better.

 

James, did you have to remove the bar, or does it still fit okay?

 

Hey Warren,

Yes, I had to replace the OEM strutbar if that's what your asking. I chose the Crawford strutbar in this case. The APS plenum is pretty much the same as the Crawford cast except the APS does appear to be slighty taller.

BTW...how's your FI project going? Hope it's going well for you. As before, I'm just sitting back to see how the whole CARB thing will work out with APS & the other kits in the market. I'm kinda keepin an eye out on the JWT kit since it's starting to look more and more appealing to me, especially since they'll release it with a CARB. I guess we'll see how it all unfolds...

 

****** ****er!!!!!!!!!1

 

As to my FI Project. I had to put it on hold, just temporarily. Bought my wife a new 2005 Amanti and that was close to 30g's, but I got a good deal of a discount off that price though. That was a quick 10g's of Z money gone in the "blink of an eye". But should be back onto my own again this spring at the latest. Only need to get the gauges and oil cooler kit. Everything else is here. Now I have decided to go ahead and build up the motor a little too at the same time, since it'll be opened anyway for the cams. Once it's done done, then I'll start with the body kit, which my wife has "sort of" picked out already... But engine first, rims & tires second, & Bodykit third. I wish they would hurry up and get the APS carb approved too. The rainy season is here and the Z sits in the garage pretty much, had it out once in maybe two months actually. 10,800 miles on it presently. Other than that, not much more happening since the Carmel Run. Next two for this coming year are the "Big Sur" and the "17 mile run/Pebble Beach" being planned.

 

I'll be finalizing my purchase by early next week & it's going to be for the front AND back! Can't wait!

I'll post more details once it's all finalized...

 

Keep the pic's onboard.....

 

sweet ride!! cant wait to see whats next

James is a bastard.

Bryan (is currently hatching a plot to intercept James's big brakes and put them on his own ride )

 

Oh so what, just the Fronts are good enough for you. I'll be at ZCG after work if you have time to swing by I'd like to check out the stuff you had installed.

 

Buahaha ! I just bought the brakes that was posted by Sly_Z. They are the 14" Wilwood BBK (Black) w/ slotted/drilled rotors. 6 Piston fronts & 4 piston rears. Similar to what Sharif has on his ride but black . I've been so busy to snap some pics of my recent installs but I'll try to find the time later this week.

Brakes are similar to these:
Pic1
Pic2
Pic3
Sharif's BBK

Bruce: Yep. I'll be there. I need to pickup a few things as well from the shop. Well, at least the ones that can fit in the Z. LOL. Hey, I got a great deal on these bad boyz. Pretty much the same price as for just a 14" BBK for the front, I got the front AND rears.

 

Man your ready for TT now, just need these companies to get thier act together and get us a carb eo. Thats a screamin deal and now you can keep your wheels clean so you can be lazy. later

 

YOU GOT BLACK! Nice dude. Im not sure i woulda went with black, but thats prolly why ur car is got that special touch of class.

Did i mention how much i hate you.

-B-

 

I'm getting my brakes in today!!! I just checked my tracking info & it arrived in my city about an hour ago!!!

 

Sweet addition to an already insane ride.

 

Thaks Ravi.

Well, I just got them in & they are HUGE! . I never realized how big they were until I compared them side by side with my current setup. I can definitely say it'll fill up those 20's nicely . Now I just have to make set some time at the shop to get these bad boyz installed...

I know I've been lagging with the pics but I've been having issues with my camera which is why I'm looking into getting me a nice SLR . I also want to wash my dirty car before I take pics so I can do a small photoshoot with the updated parts .

 

hehehhe, that just 355mm. Wait until you see 380mm disc. BTW, 355 will not fill up 20" wheel. Still have lots of room. IMO, 380mm will fill up 20" nicely. That mean 8 pistons. Damn, i need to do some kiss a.s.s with Loren at Rotora for sponsoring on this.

 

8 Piston?! I think 6 Piston (which is what I have) is already overkill even for track use. 4 Piston is usually the ideal. All you'll be doing is just adding extra weight.

 

bling bling...

 

Let me know maybe we can meet up, I've been waiting to shoot mine.
