Default Magentic Black #867- Houston, TX

Wanted to make a little thread to post some cool pictures. Bought this from another member on here. He had it a little modded. I changed a lot of the stuff to suit my style and needs. I kept the wing because I personally think it looks better than the v3. At least on my car it does. haha

Suspension is pretty crazy. Motor is fairly stock. Outside is stock. Interior is mild with sparco seats and gutted hatch area.

A lot of these pictures aren't high res and they don't do the car justice. I want to purchase a nice camera to take cool pics but can't justify spending so much





Temporary wheels


Getting some lunch after alignment


@ the airport. All kinds of people were staring. lol

After reading your comment and then looking at the pics, it does look a little off in the pics. This is one of those cars where it looks really awesome in person but not in pics

Nice but ya damn that wing kinda looks like it belongs on a honda that some 17year old owns. I hope the last owner sold the v3 wing for some nice coin. Thats a 2k$ wing.

Nice car,congrats.
The wing just destroys the look of a Nismo.
On a ricer Honda,not a ANY Z.

Looks like someone set up a Erector set on your trunk.

Gonna have to disagree. Considering that he tracks the car and how aggressive the NISMO body kit is, I think it suits the car perfectly. What I DON'T like about it (which I'm surprised nobody mentioned it) is the tape covering up the factory holes.

Comparing a RWD car that's actually tracked to a FWD ricer is pretty lame IMO.

Overall, beautiful car and love the color! But for the love of all that's holy, please get those holes filled!

Yes sir. Holes are the next step! Theyre so ugly its discusting

Thanks for the support! Not pointing any fingers, but street stuntin and track driving requires two totally different car setups

Did some more driving finally. I really wanted a working e-brake so I ended up getting a modifed stock lever that was on Forsberg's car and made it work really awesome. Thanks B.Wilkerson!

Car is really fun. Drive it to the event, beat the **** out of it, and drive home! Rd. 5 of Lonestar drift was the most fun I've had in a long time, can't wait to drive again!
