At least they didn't clutter it with engine covers.....my 3 takes 5-10 min just to remove all covers before I can do anything worth wile in the engine bay.

damn, you buying those PPE headers makes me want to say, "fu&k it" and just spend $$$ on headers since my ride has been up for 3 weeks now. Might as well right......

I swear if I didn't have bad luck I wouldn't have any at all... Got a letter in the mail today from the County saying that they're going to be tearing up my street and the cul de sac and taking down all the trees that run on the East side of my house near the road along with replacing the entire sidewalk (I'm on a end lot) and there will be ramps made to get onto the driveway this summer and says there will be days I wont be able to drive to my house... Sounds like they're also going to be replacing the sewage drains as well. So much for getting the Z out this year once it gets fixed..

Holy hell, Greg. That sounds epic. Take pics! lol

Yes, I need to do a garage extension.

I was on Co Rd 3 this evening going to IGH and saw a storage unit that advertised car club storage. Interesting...

Also got a call about dent removal today. The guy is setting up shop in Bloomington and wants to host a car club meet there and get some business. I'm down for that.

Thanks, Aaron!

Seems like a nice guy who's been around for a while. He's hoping to have the shop opened around May 1. That sounds like good timing.

20+ hp without a tune. And I've got an osirius uprev tuner sitting on my kitchen table. They should also be lighter than the factory peices they're replacing, and pushing the weight of the now two small race cats further back in the car.

With these, and the rest of the modifications, i'm estimating that the car should put out over 300+ whp, and be in the 30xx lb range at fighting weight.

Even if they did clutter it with covers, they'd be in the same place the VQ covers are.. on the shelf in my garage. Dead weight, and if something goes wrong in grid, i don't want a strut bar and engine cover in my way while i chase the offender.

Sneak preview:
That's the same exhaust and y-pipe i already have. only difference is the intakes and cats

Yup. I've got a full HR and test pipe setup, and some OBX 370z headders that i'd like to see go away.

Do it.

I never had any issues with my OBX LTH. My only concern with OBX exhaust products would be corrosion, but it shouldn't be an issues since these cars are stored during the winter.

I've got a set of OBX LTH for a 370z right now. They don't fit. This is why i'm ordering the PPEs in a rush, as I have a half disassembled car that I don't want to put stock parts back into.
the design has supposedly been updated, and they don't fit in the 350z anymore.
