I'm back!

WarmAndSCSI · 12-11-2013, 12:32 PM

So how many people here that know me are still around?

I've took a little bit of a hiatus from the 370Z scene after I started working a second job at a local dyno tuning shop as their tuner and IT guy (Home » Ziptie Dynowerks - Subaru & Evo Dyno Tuning in Utah). I'm back now because I'm getting ready to put a full N-2 body kit with Hot Wheels fenders on the Z due to a traffic collision with a reflector pole in the snow.

But anyway, glad to be back! Hopefully I'll be able to develop some aftermarket stuff for the Z at my new shop and I might even dabble with UpRev if we decide to buy a license!

I'm all warm & fuzzy!

welcome back

I know you!!!

WarmAndSCSI · 12-11-2013, 12:38 PM

Thanks guys...

I know it was pretty stupid to buy a Duraflex kit, but since I'm doing all the work myself fitting it and probably even painting it, I'm not too scared.

Has anybody ever actually installed their N-2 kit before? (NISMO trim replica kit) I've never seen any shots except their demo car with horrible photography.

I just received my Amuse Duraflex kit with JP-r hood this week. I will be doing the same process as you and I will have a build thread to discuss all the good, bad, and the ugly about this kit!

WarmAndSCSI · 12-11-2013, 12:46 PM

Nice! I'll definitely subscribe to that.

I'm sure of one thing: this kit will look 1000x better if I plastidip the silver mesh grille material flat black before painting...

wheee! · 12-11-2013, 01:03 PM

Interesting. I was thinking of a satin black but the plastidip might be more durable....

As much as I hate Plastidip, I think coating mesh is a proper application for it. It should be way more durable than paint in this application.
