are those smoked headlights i see?
looks nice man

john, to smoke your lights, you need to use clear coat or smoked spray. then find someone you trust who can do it evenly for you. but dont expect it to be permanent.

thanx phdeez!!!!!!!

what do you mean by not expecting it to be permanent?

also, are you sponsored by injen? it looks like you have the intake and exhaust.

thanx again,
john

john, i am sponsored by a few companies including my CAI, springs, and full catback exhaust made by invidia. as of right now, the exhaust in my car is still a prototype dynoed a few times to produce 25+hp at the wheel using my stock air filter. i have the dyno sheets to prove it. that's way more than the stillen exhaust that only produces a max of 13hp. full production of this exhaust will be made in a few months.

look for my Z either on the upcoming or the next upcoming issue of import racer and import tuner. they're doing a step-by-step article on this latest free flowing exhaust.

so there you have it john. i just gave you an exclusive on the least restrictive exhaust that's about to hit the market!

that's very cool phdeez!!!!!!!!!!! can't wait to see your car and it's mods in the future magazines.

also, in your other post , what did you mean by not expecting the smoked rear taillights to be not permanent?

it just means that rocks can chip away the clear coat. but i dont daily drive my Z so its not a big deal for me. it looks trick though, doesn't it? so if you're feeling my style, find a good paint place that will do it for you in sacramento. don't do it yourself. those lights cost more than you think!

every sw20 i see with the TRDwidebody kit never has the wing....i think the wing looks nice, how come u decided against it??

phDeez

if you look closely, my widebody is not TRD. in fact, it's a custom wide body that's at least 3" wider than any TRD kit on each side. this is also why my rear spoiler is simply an extension of the custom body work. to be more specific, the TRD is square on all sides and cannot house the size wheels i have in the rear (18x11 with 295/30/18 pirelli pzeros).

my idea for creating this one-of-a-kind widebody is just that, to make sure that my sw20 is not just your average mr2 wide body. there are many other differences that stand out if you put it next to any regular TRD. my goal was to create a mid-engine layout that has a clean custom widebody which looks factory built. i just didn't want to ruin it by putting all the common stuff that ppl put on their so-called modified mr2s.

matix,

there's been a wing in the works for some time now. it's a new company that wants to sponsor me to break into the import scene. originally, they did wings for trucks but are now trying to enter this industry. anyway, they wanted to create a custom wing based on my specs that will actually be mechanized. in other words, the wing can be raised up and down with a controller installed in the car (similar to a porsche-type wing).

it's a lot of work. just like everything else i did to this car. but i'm not sure if i want to take the attention away from my custom intercooler setup in the back.

so many ideas.......so little time

...Did you sell your Z?

schindem

Yeah, Nissan local did a buyback on the condition that I purchase another Nissan product...

I bought an 03 Titanium edition SE 6 Speed fully loaded minus leather... I sacrificed the Z mystique for something that had less issues and was much more practical. Also saving about $200 per month...

I definitely miss the Z though- man what a car if you can look past some of the issues.

nychotcop

Thanks Iris....but since I know those pics were not so great in making me out..this ones for you..Now fellas I am not trying to turn this into a date site ok..unless it benefits my single azz

Dude, you're a cop? If you are can you answer something for me thats killing me.


Why is that cops are allowed to pull illegal maneuvers and violations when we get cited for them????????????? I mean, if someone is walking on the street a cop is just as likely to run over them pulling an illegal u-turn just as much a civilian would.


Im not being a smartass I seriously would like to know.

iris

protecting the public - if he has to get somewhere fast for an emergency, he's got to get there.

that's my guess.

but i've heard of cops citing other cops in LA for speeding, etc. (something to do w/LAPD, CHP, and all the other jurisdictions). They are not given automatic free passes.

Heat

I would love to see an LAPD cite a CHP or the other way around, it would make my week, lol.

nychotcop

The truth of the matter is that there are certain "perks" to being a cop...thats all I am going to say about that...but I still put my azz on the line everyday in NYC...its not all about the almighty crispy creams you know
