now add in the shipping...

$122 through FedEx

Thats not terrible.

$1600 for the fuji front bumper and hood lol

I'm seriously tempted to get the mirrors with the key lock on top. I like the stretched version more. For $500, I don't think that's bad at all for a legit Japan hand crafted piece.

Earn$pend :rock:

I was eyeballing the zele radiator shroud

ooooo pretty!!!!

I am so torn between the Zele and fuji front bumper.

So many parts to buy hahahahaa.

I may stick with my original plans for this season. Replica INGS+1 lip, rear spats, and spoiler.

Idk what to do sideblades anymore. The car def needs them though.

I don't play golf, so I got an MU Tigers one to mess with the boss...he's a KU fan..... :bowrofl:

Woo-hoo free shirt from Nitrous Express :tup:

First, a monster tool box, way bigger than you think you will use. Don't worry, you'll fill it up. :tup:

Second, I'd say good tools, both standard (SAE) and metric. Granted, most of the stuff these days have metric fasteners, but every so often, you find a SAE fastener. Harbor Freight does NOT qualify as good tools. Normally, I'd say Craftsman as first choice, but since Sears sold the brand to Black & Decker, I'd wait and see what their warranty service is going to be. Most of my tools are now Snap-on, but I still have some Craftsman stuff floating in the box. The important thing is lifetime replacement warranty, you will break sockets over time. ;)

Third, air compressor and air tools. Campbell Hausfeld makes some good stuff, just remember to buy air tool oil and put a couple of drops in the air inlet before you use the tool, it will contribute to longer life. Again, all of my air tools are Snap-on, only because they can be rebuilt for a small fee, most were so old I got new ones for 0 dollars. :tup:


Good tools aren't cheap, buy what you need as you need them is the best route (see first step..... :eek: )


Hope this helps.

Even most of my hand tools came from HF originally. The key differences are manufacturing tolerances for the HF sockets are far less strict and the materials used are softer. Any sockets I've ever used from HF have rounded within a few uses, so I've upgraded to better sockets since. But I'm still using the Pittsburgh ratchets without issue - I particularly like the telescoping feature they offer.

I'd come across CS American contact info a little while back and also said they warehouse certain products in Arizona I think it was.

i hope all is having a good one...

Check your gps tracking, took your z for a wild cruise...to the other garage. :icon17:

I really like the clutch you have in there. Feels really good.

My dad has some Pittsburgh sockets that seem to be okay, granted they are 3/4" drive, so they don't get a lot of use. :tup:

I've destroyed several Pittsburgh impact sockets and twisted adapters in two, mainly working on old, rusted POSs that should have been scrapped rather than fixed...:ugh2:

It sucks having to borrow a socket from one of the other guys until I could get to Sears or the crack dealer (Snap-on) shows up. The harassment of 'ya shoulda bought some good tools.... etc.... :bowrofl:

I seem to have the luck of 'crap, I broke this socket... gotta go get a new one. What?!?!?!?! you don't have another one?!?!?!.... 5 stores later..... no Sears store has this socket, gotta go to HF.... 3 trips to HF later, the car is fixed.....:gtfo2:

Now I research to make sure I don't need special tools, (which BTW, the Z requires a special socket for spark plugs), buy the tools, then buy the parts and install them. Much less frustrating.... :tup:

Do I give it a shot?

That decision is all on you homey :icon17:

Because I am lazy... what does the Z need specifically?

Lol, for the money...what the hell why not!

I didnt notice it was only $100 :icon17:

hahaha, yea. Hence the reasoning. I guess they're a legit business with a lot of Subbie followers in Cali. Stumbled upon them via Ebay.

Right on...do it!

IIRC, it's a 14mm spark plug socket, that is set up different from the usual 9/16" socket (14mm & 9/16", same same), maybe thinner walls, magnetic plug holder instead of rubber sleeve... :confused: I'll post up the part number tonight when I get home. I found the info in a DIY thread here, I just don't remember where... :ugh2:

Thanks! I appreciate the information.
