missing my brembos

it looks and sounds beast. unique and sexy!

 

looks awesome.. although something about the rear end looks "empty" i cant put my finger on it.. idk if its that you need a spoiler of some sort?? or if the v3 front is too aggressive for the rear.. idk, still looks great though.

 

thanks brotha i know ive been wanting this for a while but everytime my wallet starts getting fat i get inpatient and buy something else.

 

well i have the v2 wing painted but no one seems to like it on my ride, plus im afraid to drill 4 holes on my hatch

 

+1

You'll need some mud flaps or paint a trim to the rear bumper to continue the theme you have going with the front and sides...

I think if you have someone photoshop it first to get a feel, better than trail and error!


Looks great either way man!

 

Thanks king I'm actually pretty happy with the chop I made the rear bumped sits higher than the black line so it doesn't bother me, eventually ill get a v3 rear

 

well its been a little more than 5 months since i last updated. well guys i decided to go with the brembos. i started piecing together a set and here are the results.








i also upgraded the stock lines to stoptech braided steel lines and wow what a difference from standard brakes. for now i running standard autozone ceramic pads and their brand rotors. till i get some more coin, this will do, overall im satisfied .

 

^ still awesome.

 

since the new addition the z deserved a good wash so i took some pics.

 

thanks man

 

Wow..I literally scrolled up and looked at the pictures like three times.. Gorgeous

 

Wow looks great! the brembos really make a difference. Love your seats too!

 

It's coming together nicely. Well done! Quick question. The 06-08 model Z's have revised standard brakes (bigger rotors and 2 piston front calipers) compared to the 03-05 models. To my knowledge the brembo brakes have remained the same since the Z's reintroduction in 03. And while the brembos have stayed the same the Z has evolved, both in additional weight and power over the years. I'm curious about the difference in performance between the three (03-05 standard, 06-08 standard, and the OE brembos). I would think that with the upgraded standard brakes in the 06-08 models, the gap in proformance compared to the brembos was shortened. Maybe. Just curious as the time will come when I have to decide between OE brembos or aftermarket. Think I might post this over in the Brakes and Suspention sub forum.

 

these brembos fit the car absolutly perfect!!! what happended to the side skirts?

 

Looks so good! Great job cleaning the car!

 

The suede in the interior is that stock on 08s? I love it.

 

haha im glad you thought this, that's what i was aiming for. no they where all leather like all the touring models but i reupholstered it to make it look like the 370z seats with perforated suede in the center. i was gonna do it orange but i thought it would be tacky.






thanks for the kind words everybody

 

Kno, did you have them rebuilt? If so, were did you get it done? If not, could you think of a place you'd trust to have it done locally? Thanks.

 

that looks awesome and stock, just like i like it. My 370Z had this, and loved it. I hope you dont mind but im gonna talk to the local shop around here for pricing.

 

i got it done by this guy, here is his card.



thanks, go for it
