Wow, the clearance on the exhaust is no joke! I would have never though about the wing creating enough force to collapse a carbon fiber hatch, maybe you can lay down some CF over the stock hatch to continue that carbon theme?

The weight of that wing alone would crush a CF hatch.

that's why that was a waste of money...

please no air ride!

For sure it's nothing new. The guys here are much more mellow and mature imo. Just kinda surprised seeing it happening here.

RCZ · 01-24-2011, 08:28 AM

wow there's no clearance under the exhaust..

bullitt5897 · 01-24-2011, 08:29 AM

I know its not practical but the rear wing at 180mph generates around 1800pnds of down force and would collapse the CF hatch. I talked to APR and I talked to Seibon about the issue. We are actually looking to frame mount the rear wing. So if I find a good deal on a CF hatch I may jump on it.

I find it funny that the guys over at my350 think i havent done my research... lol it cracks me up. I studied the my350z boards and their experiences mainly their failures and how not to do builds and I said F**** it I am going to do it right the first time. I had a list of parts and packages I gave to Sam. Sam went through my list and gave me some ideas and some things I needed to consider. this was not some over night decision. rather this was a decision that was made over weeks and months.

I will always have haters and I know that... I have gotten used to it lol. People hate my wheel color choice until they see it in person then they love it... so far I have a 100% conversion rate on wheel haters hahahaha

Honestly, I dont want to go airride and would rather have a roberta style cup kit. But After speaking with the techs over at Ridetech they have a new racing air bag line replacing their titanium series. which by the way is being custom made by Fox racing shox for their applications.

People will always hate my choice in parts. I dont care and they can voice their opinions on deaf ears. It is my car, my styling and for my purposes. This is the third car I have built but it is also the most extreme build I have ever done. This to me is art you either get it or you dont...

Thank you to all the supporters!

weiboy thank you for posting up pics! I hope you enjoyed seeing the car!
