Well i've got one tint ticket and a few warnings and i got 20% tint all around except front windshield. Its been worth it tho. I actually get more **** for no front plate than anything.

the 2JZ will be just as expensive, but the block is capable of holding up to 900 hp in stock form. 500hp is like making 300 in a civic, expected.

Well just orderd a new clutch hopefuly this one holds. Thanks to Zivman for the help in pickin one and Sharif at Forged Performance for the good deal. I went with the Carbonetics Twin Disc Carbon Clutch w/1350kg Pressure Plate.

those look really good :thumbup:

Those do look good. Where were they powdercoated and how much did it cost for all 4?



:thumbup2: Can't go wrong with something recommended by Aaron and carried by Forged.

I got em done at All Pro Powdercoating in St Cloud. It was only $50/wheel including media blasting. You can't beat the price, and they do quality work. I also had to order new rear tires, so I won't be driving the Z till tues or wed next week it sounds like. I really can't wait, I've got the itch bad, =D.

Looks sick man.

You brought them there with the tires already taken off, correct? How long did it take for them to complete it?

:icon18: Mouse?
That looks awesome! Maybe I should do that with my wheels.... on the minivan. Bronze on blue would look good, eh?
Yeah, yeah. I know. Too lazy to find a decent place to do it.
I plan on going. Need to crawl under the car and figure out what's going on with that rattle. I think it's the TP or y-pipe and the flanges.

Well I have decided the Chrome wheels need to go... I plan on keeping them but what color should i do? I was thinking like a dark bronze what do you guys think?

Silver. Classic and elegant. Got pics of your car? :)

I brought just the wheels with no tires mounted. It took them a week to do all 4.

what made you decide on the ATS over the spec?.... regardless, the ATS is tried and proven to be a good clutch. You will be happy. Just make sure to bleed and bleed and the rebleed the clutch.

they do look good. Tom (boomer) has his wheel faces up there right now. Should be going to get them on Monday. I have high expectations

He has done 5 cars for me, 4 cars for Tom, and countless referals. My cars usually go from the dealer directly to him

One more hiccup, with the stereo. I thought my bouble din would fit perfect without a dash kit but found out otherwise. Have any of you purchased a dash installation kit locally? I'd lke to get it tomorrow at a brick and mortar store so i don't have to wait for delivery. Any ideas around the cities for a non-generic metra dash kit?

I think I have a spare Metra kit laying around. Too bad I couldn't be a bit more local. :(

Let's cruise! I can't wait to see it in person.
Thanks, Aaron. I'll give him a call.

Street Scene and Gjerdes are also reputable places to go

I have decent recommendations sometimes, but don't give me too much credit... This is the clutch I have, bought soley off the pricing and recommendation from Sharif. There are a lot of good clutches on the market for our application, the ATS is one of them.

Cory, I was kind hoping you would get the Spec twin disc just to try it out. The price of that clutch is appealing, especially if it holds and has good feel.
