Got my new blower and installed it!


Then i pulled it off and some other things to paint, going to throw some ppw on these. Should look pretty good. High temp primer gray to get started.



Cleaning up some other pipes and filled in a small knick from my crank pulley. Didn't go all the way through, will sand it down tonight and paint.

awsome build, I love the way you like to detail other things when you install a part. I try to do the same. Can't wait to see how it looks after you get it back together.

Thanks man, I'm trying to make this z clean as it is fast. I just got some parts from taywan that he painted for me, can't see in the picture, but the pearl pops so good on these parts. I maybe getting some more parts painted before zdays to really make it shine.

Also one thing to note, I spent many hours sanding the plenum down by hand to make it smooth. It had a small shine even with out the polish. Makes a huge difference In looks compares to my other plenum that's also painted white.

I also added this straight pipe to replace my tomei muffler since it wanted to fly off
On the highway.. Doesn't sound to bad, I'll try to upload a drive by tomorrow. I'm also prolly gonna be dropping my z off at the shop next week to get a custom 3" dual exhaust hand made to my car. Should sound pretty good and maybe free up some power, my new tune is coming up soon and I'm trying to pull the most out of my set up.

Got everything back together. Still need to put my strut bar on and bumper. The finish came out great, so easy to clean now with the clear coat on it.

I also worked out a deal for a true dual 3" exhaust that I
Couldn't pass up with a local company. I will update with exhaust after its
Installed. Looking at about a 2 week build time for it. And I secured my spot yesterday for my retune on February 5.

Looks Nice. Did you get the New V2 Ti-Trim HD Blower?

If so you should update your signature.

Been changing things around again. Went back to my v2 front bumper. I also pulled the blower and have been sanding it down by hand to
Polish. Also got rid of the stock intake for a cosworth. Still waiting to retune. It will also be getting the polish treatment soon.
