If it's anything like Stu's, I'm sure it sounds awesome. We should have another meet soon.

For me, it never seemed that loud, until I would either drive in a parking garage or under and overpass. The thing I like is it's not too loud if you are just putting around, but when you get on it it screams.

I've been doing some trailwork and riding at this park over by Presby hospital, and I go under 75 to get there. The light doesn't turn green on both sides at once, so you have to kinda go slow until you get under 75, then once it turns green I just floor it.

so i dont think that it is the exhaust rattling or hitting anything.... it sounds like it is in the bumper area, almost where the hanger is... maybe something is loose in that area. i will look this weekend when i have the wheels off putting my spacers back on...

i pushed on the tips pretty dang hard and it barely moved and didnt make any sound at all... when i hit the bumper by the drivers rear wheel well i replicated the sound,

What are you going to do? If you're going to do the Nismo v3 front do the entire kit IMO. The front end on the v3 is really aggressive so I'd say you need the aggressive sides and rear + spoiler to go with it. Probably crazy $$$$ for the v3 kit. At first I hated the v3 kit but it really grew on me. I'd still pick the V2 kit over anything else.

Do the v2 front/sides/rears I think you'd be happy. If not the aerosync front only looks good as well.

I think that since your car is black, you could get away with a piecemeal build.

Get the V2 bumper, put it on, save up for the sides and rear. If you end up loving the bumper alone, then don't buy the rest. If you end up feeling you needed more, you've already resigned yourself to saving up for the rest of the kit.

If you get the Aerosync, you can get away without sides/rear (maybe a little lip on the sides/rear).
With Nismo V2, I say get Eric's Nismo (rep?) sides/rear to complete the look.
Nismo V3 NEEDS the rest of the kit to make it look right, but it's really expensive to get all authentic so I'd skip this one.

my initial thought are saying aerosync, beause the nose isnt as long and the lip isnt as aggressive on it as the V2. the only thing i didnt care for on the aerosync after seeing it in person, it was pretty flimsy

IIRC, the Aerosync is intentionally made to be flexible so that you don't crack/break it when you hit something. You could always put some fiberglass on the back to stiffen, no?

Lol, you going to be at RNH again today? I need to take a look at your ZSpeed sometime. Set up another meet, Travis!

Maybe after the next autox event we can either go hit up the Dyno Day or just chill again at a restaurant/bar like last time..?


BTW, my car is almost fixed now. Just need to mess with the front camber arms and get an alignment, then I should be ready to race!

i usually dont go on dress up days... too crowded but i am sure that someone could talk me into going pretty easy. need to go buy a jack after work, then a friend coming over for about an hour at 4...

i think that is a great idea to hang out, it was fun. i am going to the dyno thing and yall to autocross so lets figure out a place
