Well everyone, it's been a while. Out to sea for a bit and work has been busy lately. I won't be on here for a while, duty calls. But I will try to upload some of the progress on the car that I'm getting done before I leave. I just got these in today, look forward to installing them in two weeks (Going back to mainland for a bit to see family). Shout out to Saikou Michi for making a quality product!!!

axmea?

Nice Progress.

So, while I was away for a bit I got some work done on the car. I've had the amuse kit for a while now and was hoping to get it done before I deploy. While at work by buddy recommended me Kerfoot Garage for all the work. I met Ethan (amazing 350z, yall have seen it before!) and got to making plans. He's kept me updated on the progress while I was away and his skills are awesome! Big shout out for all the work at Kerfoot!

I dropped the car off with the kit and the parts got sanded and fitted.



Apparently there was some fitment issues with the rear and side skirts.


Ethan said he had to trim and add some fiberglass to the skirts to make them fit right.

Here are the parts painted. They look phenomenal!! I can't wait to see then finally product. I'm off today and hoping I can meet with him to install them.





FINAL
Again, I can't thank Ethan Kerfoot enough for making this car look this amazing. The quality of work is outstanding!

Here are some pictures from today. I just wasn't looking for amazing photo skills, just wanted to show off. I was going to link the High Res. pictures, but I'm feeling lazy. =__= sorry all

Really wish that sign wasn't there. Amazing artwork!

awe wow, that bites! That is one beautiful job and a gorgeous Z! This is a great pic and to me there is no other car ever made that has an a$$ like a 370Z! Takes my breath away daily!

Hocus

WELL FAM! It's been a long, long time...since my last post. Moved to San Diego due to work. Going on shore duty life now (Boiii). Looking forward to it(Though not a fan of California itself). Good food, beer, and of course, all the 370z parts are easy access here in southern cali.

The car went into storage/transit and I was able to get her back, no extra damages.

After waiting forever, I finally got my CraftSquare mirrors. Install was pretty easy! Just wish they supplied mounting equipment or use the same bolt size as OEM for install.

Being so close to Temecula, I ordered the Status seats for the car. Heard good reviews for them and wanted to save a little money, plus I wanted to be different. Not many people rock the seats, you usually see Sparco,Bride,Braum. Love how the feel and can sit comfortably in them. Drove four hours round trip no problem


WHAT'S IN THE BOX



Took apart the passenger seat and was able to install the air-bag sensor.

Planted Technology mounting brackets! They fit PERFECT to the car, but not so much with the seats. Only able to really line up three bolts. Installed with lock-threads.
Low quality picture. Parking garage is where I installed them at my new place.

Hocus

Well! More upgrades along the way here shortly. I got in contact with Charles Park out here in San Diego at PowerTrix. A buddy of mine recommended their coilovers for the car. He's driven multiple setups and these by far are the best he's ever used. So I went with purchasing the UltraLite set with 13k/11k swift spring setup.


I've been wanting to upgrade the wheels and tires so finally got my boxes in. 19x9.5/10.5 Work CR Kiwami with Hankook 255/285 35R19 setup.

Hocus

Nothing fancy today lads, just an oil change. 6qts (Thirsty!) I got the sway-bar and endlinks at the house, just was to lazy for install today.

CAR WASH DAY! Had to clean the ol' girl since I've been at the beach most of the week. She was looking dirty. I don't know if Meguiars stopped making their White Label products? Really love using that to clean the wheels. No waxing this time either. Looking to see about getting the clear coating put on the car.


While cleaning though, saw this on bottom. Hawaii roads too cruel. I got some touch up paint, hopefully doesn't make to big of a difference.


*Side note*Driving today wasn't as fun either. Got some tattoo work (first ones.) They came out great!

Hocus

Yuuuup. No luck with this car. It was right before my first car showing (well a meet-up). Would of loved to just showed her off WITHOUT any issues. Hopefully I can get her fixed before I leave hawaii. My temporary fix might be slap a vinyl sticker in the area or cut something out. I was thinking of the Deviruchi from Ragnarok.


*removed the extra brackets []*
