You don't know? It's just a big, shiny radiator.

I never had this NA so it was never functional in that sense, but it does cool off the engine bay to some degree, and with hot piping thats always a good thing.

Tony-yeah just a subtle CF front lip to match the air duct and black wheels and the exterior is done. All it needs after that is a few door dings pulled and some touching up and its done...until I think of something else to put on it When do you come back to the area? I can finally hit it in 3rd for you, I'll keep it in 1 piece until you come down....

I'll be back around the 26th of Feb till around the 12th or so of March.

Seems like I'll have to ride with a few of you... Nowell's finally got his kit in, Karl might have that supercharger, you got 3rd gear again. The wife is gonna be with me on this trip so we'll try and shove her under someone's strutbar or something.

Which lip did you get?

LOL I'm crossin' my fingers ... I can only imagine what a jet engine sounds like with the top down . I just have to find a way to convince the SO that this S/C is a necessity and .... um, it will help nurse sick puppies back to health

curious to see what you have in mind for the calipers.

I thought about doing mine db to match the body, but was talked out of it because it wouldn't match up right being the different materials would show the color diferently. So I ended up going with classic red for contrast.



The car is looking great Man. Keep up the good work.

a lot of positive comments, so I'll interject my personal opinion to balance things

having three colors on a wheel is distracting. granted, the blue lip is subtle, which makes it less distracting, so kudos for not making the painted section larger.

i'll be painting my lip as well, but my entire wheel will be matte black, si it will be a simple two tone colored wheel.

but like with all our mods, to each his own. the quality of work looks great.

Are you picking on me? lol, last time I went to start my Z the battery was dead.
I've put around 400-500 miles on the Z last year.

Thankfully the KBB due to miles is more then what I paid. woot!
