Default Flo-RidaZ33 6.5... Last pics

I jumped the gun on the 7.0 Teaser thread and quickly ran into problems with the HKS Supercharger and obtaining the INGS +1 parts so I resorted to changing things up a bit. I settled on what your about to witness in the next couple of pics but I feel it's probably the nicest my Z has ever been, though I've added many parts... it's a very simple set up. I'm leaving for work again so this is the last pics of my 2012 season as I won't be back until the end of fall.

I'd like to give thanks to those who've helped me get to where the car is at this current state:

Danny at Slammered-Inc

There are very few trustworthy people in this business down here in Miami. Danny has not only proven to be a fair and honest businessman, he has also proven his skill in the G/Z community which was sorely needed here. I logged over 2,000 miles commuting to his shop in Davie, FL(about 33miles North of me). He was as committed to my Z as I was and he never gave me a reason to think twice of his work. South FL needed this shop and I can't think of anything Danny can't do... my S.Floridans.. you need to go there and see for yourself.

- SuperCharger install(Gauges, catchcan's, oil pan and etc)
- Endless/HKS install
- Kirk Racing Cage, seats, steering wheel, and harness install

Jas at JDSMotoring

He gave plenty of advice on my particular set up during my time away and gave me phone support for a set up he didn't even sell me when I was home! His great service extended to getting me the Uprev equipment I needed next day and he followed up on EVERY part and questions though out the build. I would most definitely recommend anyone within the area of that shop to pass by and see what these guys are about. Steve aka BoomerZ33 takes his car to him as well, so at the very minimum his car car be proof of the Jas' for excellence.

- Uprev Tuner
- Uprev GT MAF
- Kirk Cage

Adam at Z1auto

I've been doing business with Adam for quite some time now. He's had a rough last year and it was painfully obvious with all the things that were said but at the end... I received what I needed when I needed it. I was able to go beyond the mundane and common part selection to get the wild parts that set my car apart from most of the one's on this forum. He's seen most if not all that's been available for the Z since the beginning.

- Injectors
- Fuel Pump
- ASM Recaro's
- Willans harness'

GearHeinz Rios

This man is the HKS guru and his connections run deep into HKS Japan. I was able to pick up parts that I'd otherwise never be able to obtain. He followed up on everything in regards to the information I needed when I was scrambling to finish the Supercharger build and offered phone support when it was necessary.

- HKS/Endless BBK
- Spare HKS GT Supercharger parts
- HKS Carbon Engine Cover

Sam at GTM

He took my calls when he was able to and gave me some serious advice. He's a busy man and I was happy to get him on the phone when I ran into my many problems installing the HKS/Rotrex kits. We were able to pick apart the problems I was having with each kit and he was an invaluable asset when it came to what each kit needed to get up and running.

- GTM 90mm HKS7404 Pulley
- Belts

Sean Chase

He's the creator of the beautiful coolant overflow and power steering tanks you see occupying the space of the cheesy plastic ones. He responds to questions quickly and the tanks quality speaks for themselves.


I won't go into how many guys on the forums offered advice and shared my frustration's when things went to crap... The Mods here were more than accommodating when I needed to be pointed in the right direction when looking for info on here.

I'd like to give a big thanks to the people I listed and the one's who I had the pleasure of chatting with these last 9 months while I was away and when I was home. Deploying sucks and they helped the deployment move forward.

Dan
Steve
Wais

Chris
Jason

Shane and many many more.

Now the pictures.

Yes it is... the cage came with additional plates to attach on the bottom of the car. Thanks.

i like everything about your Z, especially the engine cover, the stance, and the stretched tires.

seats are thick to my taste, but to each his own.

good luck in your next stage of mod

beautiful ride! The purple is very different and looks great.

This may be common knowledge, but what brand/name are the lip, sides, and rear?

The lip is an Evo-R VSV1, sides are Chargespeed spats, and the rear is a 1st Moulding. Thanks for the compliments.

Wow you car is sexy as $hit! I love how simple and clean it is. What cage is that? Flows so well with the wheels its just right.

I love everything other than those fawking taillights and wing. Why no rear shot pics?
