Main focus for WINTER 2013-2014 is exterior. First thing was to change the rear tire to a 275/35 to get the car to sit alittle lower. Well that turned into something completely different....

New tire specs: Bridgeston Potenza S-04 Pole Position, Front 285/30 Rear 305/30. Main goal for this winter is to fit these tires with stock alignment specs on the same 9.5/10.5 +12 volks. Here are some pics of the current poke (also the rear has been dropped by 1/2"):

The car will be getting widened to fit these tires, and have no rubbing issues but still be as flush as possible. While I'm at the body shop, I picked up so new parts for the car:

C-West Carbon Side Skirts
Chargespeed FRP Mirrors
GT Spec Fender Braces
Shine TS Diffuser(has to be cut to fit the exhaust and didnt want to cut a real Top Secret)
Nismo V3 Wing[B]
The Retrofit Source STi-R Lenses
Veilside V1 Carbon Lip
ZSpeed Aluminum Undertray

For anyone wondering, the work is being done by Papa Customs in East Windsor. Here are some pics, car has been disassembled, and the fun will begin shortly. We picked up a set of front oem fenders and a rear clip out of the junk yard for the quarter panels, which will be the bases of the wide body:

Well Guys, Here's my thread! Ill take any input, good or bad, but just remember this car is my interpretation of what a perfect z looks like. Lets start this November 5, 2010:

http://i1181.photobucket.com/albums/...psfac19824.jpg

I bought the car with 17.5k miles as a newer "daily driver" to get me to work and school. That took a turn for the better (worst for my wallet) when I bought my first mod, HKS Hi-Power Exhaust. Ever since its been downhill. I don't any pics of the exhaust install but im sure you guys can picture it. I took this picture when I was doing the Tomei Headers and Test Pipes:

And a video to go along with the new full exhaust (only reved to 4k or so)

http://i1181.photobucket.com/albums/...4A3F718013.jpg

At the same time I installed the CSF radiator, HKS oil cooler, & Stillen power steering cooler. Now this brings me to FALL 2012. Here’s some pics of how the car sat before I started getting hit my mod bug hard:

Now onto the WINTER 2012-2013. I was odering all of my suspension set up and lit bits and pieces for the engine bay. I've also been searching for wheels for the past year and wasn't able to find anything I was 100% about until 2 months ago when one of my favorite z's was parted out. None the less I was able to pick up Joel’s (Flo-RidaZ33) Volk TE37’s.
Here is the list of parts that went on during this time:


Arc Oil Cap
Arc Radiator Cap
Adams Rotors Double Slot/Drilled Rotors
Cusco Front/Rear Sway Bars
JDM/EDM Fog Light Kit
JDM Courtesy Light Kit
Misc Earls Black Braided Hose & AN fittings
Samco Black Radiator Hoses
SPL V3 A-Arm
SPL Camber Arm
SPL Compression Rod Bushing
SPL Eccentric Lock Out Bolts (x2)
SPL Inner LCA Bushing
SPL Outter LCA Bushing
SPL Traction Rod
Tein EDFC
Tein Monoflex Coilovers
Volk TE37 19x9.5 +12, 19x10.5 +12


I'm sure I'm missing some stuff but now that the parts are starting to come in I will keep updating this list, and posting(whoring) some pics out.

Love the OBEY sticker bombed radiator cover. I hope you can live with it, but I may steal that idea :p. Also, do you have a vlsd? If not, get a quaife. If I missed you talking about a diff, feel free to punch me in the face if you see me on the streets sometime!

Haha, it's all good feel free too, its actually long gone being replaced with something else to go with my new theme. No vlsd since its a base:icon27: but I've been starting to do some research on difs and pretty much narrowed it down to three: OS Giken Super Lock, Carbonetics, or the Quaife. In the next couple of months ill figure that out but right now im just waiting to get these parts in and slap them on before the first big car meet this year:thumbup:
