looks dope

 

Looks great. This is a great example of a cleanly modded car. Its simple but yet has a big impact. Great Job!!

 

Appreciate all the love guys.

I plan on eventually getting an HR and doing bolt-ons/tune so my next setup will be pretty meaty.

Test pipes are cheaper, lighter, and tend to have higher peak hp gains. They're a little smelly but I really don't mind. If I had to buy again, I would pick tp's over hfc's. I have a K&N typhoon intake but the exhaust is stock besides the tp's.

Thanks man, that's the exact image I was going for when I started modding it.

 

Looks great! I'll be headed out Tampa here soon so you'll have another PPW in the area!

 

Awesome looking car! Great job man.

 

Awesome man. Sell me your HR when you're down here lol If you're around Palm Harbor let me know.

Appreciate it.

 

Here's a few more from the shoot for you guys to see.

 

Yeah i'll sell it but you won't like the price I'll be moving to Brandon and will be going to USF

 

Alright maybe I'll see you on the road sometime.

 

Cruised the beach today then met up at a car wash before a meet.

Nice ride man, but those wheels are what really caught my eye. did you buy them online or ordered locally?

 

That Mazda3 looks sick. And I cant believe you got that vis bumper to fit so good.

 

Thanks bud, I bought them online from wheeldude.com

Ya that car is extremely clean. The v2 isn't 100% perfect but still fits pretty damn good. I didn't even have the body shop do any fitting to it. It came like that out of the box.

 

Wow the car looks awesome. Any exhaust mods in the future?

 

Thanks Armz and not on this Z. I'm Going to return mine to stock in a couple of months and pick up an HR with low miles. Then with that I'll do breather mods and a tune.

 

Finally made an exhaust clip of my car.

 

Also cleaned my filter after 15k miles. Little over due but it wasn't too bad. Used the k&n filter cleaning kit.

 

Started returning the z to stock sooner than I thought. Did the head lights, front bumper, and intake last night. Then I'll do the rest during the week. I plan to upgrade all my parts for better performance ones. With that in mind I sold most of my parts to my next door neighbor who also has an 04 z so that works out awesome for me.

I'm returning the car to stock because I'm going to pick up a 07/08 Z. I've already began searching for one so it's just a matter of time till I find one. I'd like to get a MT touring model with around 30-50k in just about perfect condition so it could take a little while.

 

DOOOO ITTTTTT

 

The car is now back to stock. Still no luck finding an hr but I will update you guys if I find one that I would think about purchasing. Hard to believe that in all of Florida there isn't one none base model hr with around 30-50k in extremely good condition for around 14.5-16k. Well this marks the end of my 04 progress thread, I will make a new one when I purchase the next one. Anyways here is a couple pics of my 04 looking better than it ever did stock.
