Default Another Function:Tuned Z let loose on the streets

That's right. I'd just like to thank Dave for completing yet another awesome Z for the world to behold.

Background: Baiscally, moved here from South Carolina and figured if I was moving on up I have to let the Hyundai days go and join the big boy club. A big thanks to the folks over at Drift Alliance for introducing me to the Z33 and getting hooked on it.

First days: I didn't figure I was gonna go F/I so quick so I spent the cost of a built motor on N/A parts. Needless to say I happened to be lurking around the For Sale section and scopped up Dave'snew Greddy Twin Turbo and Intercooler combo and the on set of supporting mods came and heres what we ending up with:

GTM Open Dumps
DeatschWerks 550 Injectors
Greddy Strut Bar
CF Engine Cover
Gallary Engine Dress Up

Transmission

Carbonetics Triple Clutch (Regardless of what people say this clutch is just slightly noticable that its not stock,,, Squats people squats thats all I am saying)
Forged Steel Braided Clutch Cable
Carbonetics LSD

Suspension

Blistein PSS9
Cusco Camber Arms Front and Rear
Cusco Under body front and mid braces

Wheels,Tires, Braking

Nismo 19" wheels
Falken 452 rubbers

Life is better with Boost. Thanks to Dave at Function:Tuned, Sharif over at Forged, Jim@Showstoppers, Alex at OnADimePBS, PaulGT2, and Grupp-S.

Dude,

Car drive's soooooo much better. It's been wet but the car sticks to the road like it a champ!!! Probably the best setup I have ever had installed on a car. Best thing is that it doesn't scrap coming out of my driveway so that says alot.

Honestly, so far I have only opened it up once.... The Falken's launch the Z in 1st with just a bit of wheel hop, 2nd is the crippler, 3rd is heartbreaker mode. I backed down off 4th and 5th. Definitly gotta take it to the track as get some clock time.

Life is better with boost. True statement

Yep.. Decided to roll on the stock block till I have to change it. Then I'll be getting Dave to do his magic and drop in a built block. Got some pretty good compliments on how strong my block is currently so no worries.


Thanks

wow, seems like everyone is boosted these days. Glad to hear you like the setup and the new suspension. Triple disc clutch is a little much for stock block? then again, that will definitely hold up.
