dodge avenger/s2k/any other shorty antenna should be on there. That's close to the dream car for me, except with a smaller antenna. Great seats though, and i like the way you took the pics.

i thought they did?

According to their site they make 2 for the Z33: RACING CALIPER 4Pistons×4Pads (RC44-N208A) and FORGED SPORTS 4Pistons×4Pads (FS44-N208A)

You'd probably match that with a 6 piston front set of calipers.

Hey noods, you're right. Damn, these must be new as most shops only have the fronts and don't offer the rears at all when I was looking at them a couple years ago. Looking at the prices, I might just go with AP Racing. BTW, I didin't know you got the Amuse Titan exhaust. Got pics?

That antenna is a pet peeve of mine. That's one thing I won't change.

Synth, you may have just convinced me on my next mod. I really wanted to keep the air bag...

Down to Momo, Personal, or Nardi... have to do the weeks worth of research, contemplating, research, contemplating... looking at pics, asking questions, then saving the $$$....

I'd say I got the deal of the century quite frankly. That's a $1,550 for the seats with rails and shipping.

Usually it's about $800 per seat, and $200 per rail. That's already $2K without shipping... and I live in Hawaii.

RHDJapan has some great prices on 2 seat sets (that's 2 seats with rails) from Bride as well as Recaro. Unfortunately, the prices on the shipping has gone up also. I think when they sent me mine, they saw an error on the shipping prices... luckily, and it's like them to do so, they honored the purchase. They are the first place I look to when shopping parts now. Got my Amuse Ti intake pipe as well as my Varis radiator panel from them, with no problems whatsoever... and without the associated wait times made-to-order stuff like the Varis radiator shroud can sometimes take.

SOB Mr. George (saw your NSX feature on Tuners Group... the Aussie on-line retailer while doing the heavy steering wheel research), you've convinced me...

I'm on vacation for 2 weeks starting Monday, and I have the two targeted wheels sent to my brother's place in Arizona...

But for now... Works Bell Short Boss and Works Bell QRS. Got the QRS to cut down on the decreased distance to the wheel. I'm 5'5", so I need the wheel to be as close to stock distance as possible. The QRS is only 25mm thick.

Man, I can't wait to get the wheel(s) on!

Really nice looking seats!... I am currently on the fence about putting some Bride goodness on my car and this only sends a message to my brain: "...must...have...Bride...seats!..."

Congrats!

Definately one of my favorite Z's on the forum. As for PMU they do make rears my friend. Here's a link to mynismo.com listing the forged rear

http://www.mynismo.com/products/?id=4110

Here's a link to the racing caliper rear set from RHDJapan

Again, great looking ride man.

As far as steering wheels why not check out Vertex. It would stay with your JDM theme, rare and also would help with the distance issue you may have. They make a 330mm deep dish that I paired up with the works bell short hub and QR. Here's a pic

Yeah, thanks Junior... means alot coming from your. But seriously, my car can't hold a candle to yours.

I already bought my wheel... er... wheels. I can't make my mind up. I already bought the Personal Neo Grinta 330 which everyone and their mom is sporting here. Buyers remorse kinda sneaking in. Shoulda went with the Personal Fitti E3, even though it's 350 and not the preffered 330-320. Also, got the Momo Montecarlo 320, which I really like the way it looks. More aggressive looking. Both are en route to Arizona where I'll be on vacation, so they won't be on for a while.

Which I keep will depend when I get the chance to try them out, and also depend on which e-brake handle I go with... Momo, or Nardi (Personal).

Yes, the Vertex would keep more in line with the JDM theme, but NONE OF THEM ARE MADE IN JAPAN. The Vertex is made in Italy by another manufacturer. Spoon (Honda) is made by Momo. Top Secret is made by Personal (Nardi). Works Bell is either made in China or Italy. The only one that looks to be made in Japan is the Nismo, but I'm not sure.

Also, I need more room between me and the wheel, so a deep wheel like yours would not do. Looks like Vertex also has a flat type wheel, but it's $400+. It's also why I chose the 1" thick Rapfix QRS instead of the better looking but thicker Rapfix II.

So much to think about when choosing a wheel.

Thanks for the compliment. Interesting point, didn't know that about the vertex steering wheel. Regardless of your choice, you have a very well executed car my friend. Well thought out parts!
