Work you have entirely too much times on your hands

 

lol i've yet to do any work today

 

OK Chris you win. Haha

My favorite Z is the one my garage, but that guy Brandon's Z looks so killer. We were just on the topic of stance and to me his is sitting perfect.

 

For some reason I like the body lines of the 350 more than the 370

 

yea i'm the same way about the g35 and the v36 g35 sedans...hard to do anything with the factory look

 

haha yaahh! i finally decided i wanted to go herrafrush. I was looking at the five axis s5:f with some good concave, but i fell in love with the gram lights. My Z is modded with enough taste, to where if someone wanted a friendly off the line or a 60 roll, id be able to handle it. But, in the end when i picked up this Z i had made my mind that the goal for this one was to sound good, look good, and still have that "umph" if i wanted to down shift and gas it for fun

 

I can respect that. That's really why we all bought the thing.

 

most definitely, I look at the 370 and I TRY to find good in it but damn its hard, the hood almost bubbles at the top and the @ss is love it or leave it, and it just forces me to walk away from it like a ***** in church, no one wants to be electrocuted (sp? lol) but then on their interior they fixed so many things that it pisses me off, which then of course furthers my hatred. The glove box more useable trunk, but then it brings me back to the idea I had when I got the Z. I wanted something quick where my date and I could go and I would be forced to carry very litte which would take away from its performance. So in the end she is perfect. I think I may take a pic in my parking lot here at work and attach to my sig

hey can you guys do me a favor and post shots of your rides, I know we have a forum for that but since you are my locals I'd rather separate us here.

On a different note I'm thinking about finding some wider rims, even with my itty bitty power my 275s on 9.5" wide rims is not enough.
hey AllstarE4 any thoughts on sway bars.
lots of random in that post

 

^^ Haha you're right, lots of random in that post.

As for the sway bars, I was really pleased with my Hotchkis over the stock bars. Whenever we finally get a meet together I'd like to check yours out.

I'll try and find a pic on my computer and post up. There is a thread for that, but this is the lounge so fack it.

As for the wider rims, I hear ya. But what tires are you running? Makes a big difference there. I had 275/38/18 Kumho ASX and they were $hit with a capital $. I threw on some 245/40/18 Nitto Invo (used at that) and got alot more traction. The 245s are going to the front of course, but that was just the way things went down that day. I'm also running 9.5 square setup.

In the future I'm going to get the 9.5/10.5 staggered wheels, but for now I'll deal with 275s on the 9.5.

edit: You pulled the classic move of the guy that requests pictures, but never posts one himself. LOL

 

As allstar said tires have a lot to do with it. Now that I have the stock vlsd in and 295s on 10.5" wheel I don't spin as much but I can If I really wanted too. I'm running kdw2

 

stephen whats your time table on the 6mt swap

 

I hoping to have the new engine, fuel system, injectors, and 6mt swap all in by end of month or sooner

 

Moving fast..can you even drive a manual? lol

 

Umm how do you think all my customer cars with 6mt get moved around the shop. Unlike all the fools on driver I know how to drive a stick. Prelude is a 5spd

 

 

do not drive in the rain with R compound tires, I had to find out the hard way lulz.

 

This is the most recent pic (although I guess it doesn't matter since it hasn't changed in the 4 years I've owned it).

 

HOLY COW IT"S NEXX!!!!!

Hey man it's been forever. You didn't wipe out in the rain on R-comps did you?

 

I did do so Eric. I didnt know it was gonna rain and on my way back from Winstar going 60mph I hit a puddle and the Z got sideways and slide off the freeway. Fortunately, I slide into a bunch of vegetation. Just need a new front bumper and a skirt. Could have been a lot worse. Pretty sad about it but I decided make myself feel better by trading the 09 G37s in for a new white 2012

 

I have 8.5 in the front on 245 and 275 rear on 9.5 and they are the same tires, maybe thats my issue right. You will have to take my Z for a spin and see for yourself. They worked miracles on my DSM but hey not like that thing had much weight, 2980lbs with me and full tank of gas, I knocked out 12.1 on those tires and front wheel drive, I never thought anything could come close to its handling, the Z can't and I'm looking to change that. Its seems with the sway bars there is a lot of rotation, like I can step out at will on a corner


so true right...haha I will I need to hit the parking lot
