Installed a few EVO-R carbon fiber trim pieces.

I also ordered post MAF tubes. Figured removing the stock tubes would make accessing the demon bolt easier so I might as well change them out for silicon tubes while I'm at it. The exhaust should be shipping from Fast Intentions any day now!

Major update for the Z. Haven't posted for a while as I have been busy with school but here's what I gotten done so far this year:

-Silicon Post-MAF Tubes
-Fast Intentions Cat-Back Exhaust and Test Pipes
-EVO-R Carbon Fiber GT Spoiler
-Tuned by Jotech in Garland, TX (321whp)
-Windows Tinted (5% rear, 35% on the sides)

Currently contemplating wrapping the roof gloss black, looking into upgrading the sound system, also looking at upgrading the steering wheel and maybe doing a vented hood but the Z fund is running low at the moment. :laugh:

So, im going to be the one to ask. Youve now put a GT wing on your Z. Is it going to see a track? Or did you literally just put it on for looks....

And for your suggestion list, just go with sport model brakes. I see no need for a BBK in our cars as long as you have proper pads or youre making serious Power/Grip on track.

I do plan to track it eventually but for now I am just doing autocross. I do also like the look of it.

Z1 25-Row Oil Cooler is now installed. Getting her ready for the Touge Fest track event in November. Also have SS brake lines, and EBC rotors and pads that will be going on in a week or two.

Also getting the car ready for forced induction next year. Looking to do a diff swap, tire and wheel upgrade, and swap the clutch and flywheel then she will be ready.

Here's a warm up run of The Tail of the Dragon from Touge Fest this past weekend. I am chasing a friend's boosted FC RX7. Unfortunately we could not get in a fast, clean run because we had some mechanical difficulties shortly after.

Also, I have the Nismo Bumper Conversion from Z1 on order and a little something from Fly1 coming in, stay tuned!

I think major update would be a bit of an understatement for this one. Since my last update:

-Nismo Bumper Swap, front and rear
-BC Coilovers Install
-Center tower bar rewrapped in white microsuede
-On order: CF Hood and Fenders from Fly1

Let's start with the bumpers... so I got in a minor accident with a pole which left a minor scuff on my rear bumper. I was looking for an excuse to pull the trigger on a set of Nismo bumpers from Z1 and this gave me a reason to do it. The bumpers came in great shape but my paint guy didn't match the paint properly so it came out the wrong shade of white...



May not look so bad here but it is much more noticeable in person. Weighing options to fix this, I am either going to try a different paint guy because there is no way in hell I am taking my bumpers back there, or I may try and wrap the car. I am not partial to the idea of wrapping it but at this point I have exhausted my car mod funds, plus I really like ViVid's space pearl Vinyl:



The photo here doesn't do the vinyl justice. I am going to attempt to wrap the roof in the coming week to see if it would be viable for me to make an attempt.

I also recently installed BC coilovers, sticking with a conservative ~1" drop for now until I can work out issues with the camber/scraping. The ZSpeed aluminum splash gaurd is catching on everything so I am debating if I want to do away with it. Will probably get a set of camber arms soon to address the alignment issue:



I also redid the tower bar wrap in a white suede as I eventually want to do up the interior in a white vinyl:



Have a bunch of projects lined up for next month, including installing new fenders and hood from Fly1. You can follow my build on my YT channel as well:

I know a few guys out here in hawaii that have the same issue, matching the pearl white is really hard to get. Like the idea of wrapping the strut bar, don't know if I can find the right "orange" for mine. Good luck on build!
