I do like my kinetix front arms, they are "zero slip" with camber adjustment. I know some members have had problem with the ball joints going, but because replacement parts are so cheap and available, I think there definitely worth it.

And thanks

Matt at GT Custom Exhaust in Pickering did it for me. If you live in the GTA you can go in and he'll hook you up. If not give him a call maybe he can get you a set of blast pipes

This is GT's facebook page https://www.facebook.com/gtcustomexhaust

I tried the strut bar wrap thing with vinyl off the website you posted, except I got the Avery brand. 9' x 1' for $30

Haven't done much to the car through the summer besides a plenum spacer. But winter is time for modding

Picked these Brembos up off of another member, along with StopTech SS lines, and StopTech slotted rotors. Going to be doing some track days next year and these should keep my pedal solid the whole time.

Also on the way are some Hawk HP Plus pads and Motul fluid.

I'm rebuilding the callipers (seal kit on the way). I figured I might as well while there off the car. Dust boots were in a little rough shape. Also getting the callipers re-powdercoated.

*Anyone in the area looking to refinish their callipers, I suggest BrightSide Powder coating in Toronto. They specialize in refinishing Brembos.

*Also anyone looking for a good DIY to disassemble callipers, heres a great write up - http://g35driver.com/forums/brakes-s...dust-boot.html


Disassembled and cleaned

Next will be track wheels and tires

Beautiful Z, clean and simple. I think the brembos will be a nice touch to the overall appearance of the car, post pics once they're on

May I ask how the 19x10's feel up front? Do they feel too wide or too heavy? Or just like it should.

Couple additions since last post. Had an issue with the powder coating.. long story short I was able to change up the colour as i wasn't happy with the orange.
New colour is candy teal and i'm quite happy with it.. Sorry for crappy pics.

Also I got a custom 3" cat back made by GT Custom Exhaust in Pickering. Its full 304 Stainless, mandrel bent, tig-welded. Slightly quieter than the old blast pipe set up, but overall its a cleaner smoother sound.. definitely more free flowing.
