Default **PICS!!** Not a 350z or G35, but my beater...

**PICS!!** First Photoshoot with new GOODS - I'm an avid fan of G35 and Z33s , maybe one down the line!

First 'n foremost.. thank to my homie Jeff ("Arrrmand") for comin' out to shoot my car.. I know he wanted first crack at it after all the ish was installed, so just thought I'd share some of the photos he took and edited tonight... Anyways, some pics below.

Just installed all the goodies yesterday and everything feels great. Zeal suspension is just solid and the Endless brakes are badass. Still need to bed them in for several more miles and then bleed the system one more time afterwards and it should be dialed in. Also thinking of dropping the front about 1/4-1/2" as you all know on Hondas, the rear fender well sits a little lower than the front. I will have a review on these items (in general if all you Z33 owners are lookin' to get some upgrades)

*** Thanks to AutoRnD in milpitas (http://www.autornd.com) for hooking me up phat with all these goodies (work wheels, endless brake system and Zeal suspension). Rishie, Dana, Josh, MIke - Thanks again.

Full length album can be found here (Jeff's Album)!! <---- Click Here
















** Yes those MUGEN socks are ricey... Endless ones are going on soon! :-)

Nicely done. Good choice of mods.

I had a lude (5th gen) before the Z and I really miss it sometimes.

very nice, clean package, however i would consider losing the blue lug nuts(the color is just so far from your car or the endless calipers)

Is that some kind of silvia front-end conversion? I'm not that familiar with prelude. Looks hot BTW!

clean BB4? only thing I have a prob with is under the hood, reroute your battery to the trunk, take off the AEM & endless stickers on the intake it would make it look alot cleaner under the hood, also lose the silicone hose over ur hood prop rod and get the gas shock ones from tein (if they make it for your car).

I can tell we're on the same brainwave... I've been looking for those Tein Gas shock hood dampers for awhile... i will take off emblems off intake soon during next car wash and i'm thinking of taking silicone hose over the hood prop soon too. hahahaha.. i wish they made the hood dampers!!
