nothing much to report...been using the car alot lately, and loving it! Yesterday did a cruise with some buddies through CT - I'll try to post some pics in the media section. Few 911's, supercharged Z06, 135i, some S4's - great time and the Greenwich backroads are awesome!

Adam,
Very sharp. I have enjoyed reading the whole thread. Very well done. I do have a body question. What Sides an Rear body kit is that?
Thanks,
Edit,
Well after much digging I see that the Rear is a Veilside Version I.

yep - it's not loud at any rpm honestly - at cruise it's silent, zero drone, and even wot it's louder than stock, but definitely not loud...I couldn't drive it if it were loud

Hey there..Nice build, No doubt it took tons of time and dedication to finish. I have a question though...Either I read the numbers wrong or you only gained 35hp with this build? I am fairly new to the Z but with all the work done to the motor and drivetrain , you think you would see bigger gains. No doubt that the acceleration is redic, but did you plan on only getting a 35hp gain? Just seems a little low for the money and work. But regardless nice work man, beautiful car.

True, ok I guess some updates have happened in the thread that I was just not tracking. I was going off of the original post where you said you went from 268 whp to the dyno chart at 304. Anyways, again nice build...and please don't think I was being demeaning..I just wanted to know.
