just out of curiosity, do you guys paint yourselves? or do you bring it to a bodyshop?

if its bodyshop, who do you go to? My car is silverstone as well, and the paint on my aftermarket bumper looks like crap, and the color didnt match all that well

any reccomendations?

Have you thought about maybe dropping in that sequential transmission you guys have on your site? Having that in the car combined with that racepack dash would be awesome, yanking straight back on the gearshift when the dash lights up at 8400 rpm and having an instant shift...the thought alone gives me that tingley feeling..

awwww dammit..i just had an accident...

newest addition - urethane transmission mount!!





install:

Made a HUGE difference! In retrospect I probably should have done the 60A unit as this one is a bit stiff for primarily a street car, but I am very glad I upgraded nevertheless

Hey Adam been a joy reading about your NA build. I like your mindset, keep it streetable, plan the build and the looks are very tasteful.
Keep it up mate.

Nope, just street tuned for now

I'll worry about finalizing the tune on the dyno come spring time

I've got plenty still to do on the car anyway

Will you guys run the haltech as a standalone or piggy back it on the stock 350z ecu? Retaining drive by wire or converting to drive by cable? Just wondering what most are doing.

I've eliminated drive by wire, my car has a traditional cable throttle now due to the larger throttle body we are using. The Haltech has been in the car for months now. I don't know if the Haltech could be run in full standalone mode, and I have no reason to try to find out...it would be a useless experiment as far as my car is concerned

The hood is finally back on the car now. I am very happy with how it turned out, after alot of time spent doing it. Just need to do some final polishing and finish adjusting the hood stops and respray the mesh black. This picture sucks, but it was late last night and I didn't feel like finding the perfect exposure



More on the hood project here:

now if we could catch some nice weather one of these weekends, I can take her out and enjoy the cold air!

I want to pull the trigger on the SG's, but I can't justify the price right now. Interested in seeing how they perform, but prob won't buy til I'm ready to upgrade my entire exhaust system.

Car is awesome.

right now there are no SG's to pull the trigger on, so I think you're ok I'm waiting too..not for my car, but for a few customers here who want them for their builds (and a set for Kwame's build too)

I'll call Najeeb (friend of mine who has this sick Evo 9, who used to work here) to come over maybe during the holiday break and snap some proper pics! - he did the engine shots on page 1

The hood is looking good. By the way, did you ever finish putting that new rear differential in?
