Bull's Top Secret Widebody/Turbonetics 350z
#82
If i still had my z this is how i would have wanted it to look like. In my opinion the Top Secret wide body is the best one out there for the z. I'm just glad you called me before you were going to do the other thing. Oh thats right i called you. Anyways great job and i'm still trying to plan a trip back down so i can see it in person. Congras and now lets get that power up. What do you think? lol

They are 1" in the front and 1.5" in the rear to push the wheels to the edge of the kit. The 20" Volk GTC wheels are 9.5 in the front and 10.5 in the rear with a -7 offset. The tires are Michelin Pilot Sport with 245/35/R20 in the front and 275/30/R20 in the rear. The body shop who installed the kit and the custom paint was Ronnie Setser's Customs in Tampa Florida. The owner is a perfectionist. As to the rubbing of the wheels, the front fenders are replacements with the edge of the wheel wells taken off. The tires go up into the wheel well and do not rub. The rears are put on top of the stock quaters and they were cut very high and the interior of the top secret quarters were cut like the front. The wheels do not rub after a lot of testing. Believe me, this car will never see a steep incline or a speed bump. As to the dyno test, the ECU was sent to Turbonetics with none of the other mods listed and they reflashed it to the turbo with a stock kit. The car is running extremely rich with the gain on the boost controller set at minimum. The car dyno'd at 329 hp to the wheels. I am in the process of adjusting the boost controller to lean the car out and also thinking about sending the ECU to Tech Squared for another ECU reflash. And yes, it was mad money for this 8 month go around. I am not sponsored. I am looking into sponsorships and magazines. With the help of my friend Carlos, Jason and other member of the 350Z club of Florida this car would not have been possible. Thank you for all the great suggestions and all the compliments definitely made all this worth it.

Did anyone see the 350z in the most recent modified magazine with this SAME exact top secret wide body?! (and same wing too! veilside?) and the turbonetics kit as well?!
weird!!
But cool as hell.... I like Bull's better... modified's Z had a silver/maroon thing going on that Im not a huge fan of... but dont get me wrong... its damn hard to put a top secret kit and turbonetics kit on a Z and make it look BAD so it still looks hot!
