NRG was the only people I knew of that made a hub for the 370Z. According to them they are different from the 350Z. I also had their stuff on my old 350Z and loved the simplicity and easy of using their Gen2.5 disconnect. For the wheel, I tend to like the wheel as close to me as possible, to a certain extent, so I figured I would try with a deep dish style wheel first. If that puts it too close to me then I will switch to a regular wheel.

Little teaser shot of the pile of parts I have waiting for my car to get done with the Kognition wing development.

More to come in the following weeks.

And for those of you who haven't been following the Kognition Wing Development thread...

DDMotorsports: Kognition Design Wing Development

Here is a photo of the design process. The real wing stands will be watter jetted aluminum and the wing, bases, and end plates dry carbon fiber...

Lookin good! cant wait to see the seat/wheel really set that interior on fire!

M.Bonanni · 10-08-2009, 07:24 PM

GTSPEC 2-Point Rear Sub-frame brace added to the pile for test fitment.

BTW - I know we had our differences on the new trends etc etc, but I was watching a special on 'cool factories' and they were talking about Lamborghini...

Your wing beta so far reminded me so much of the new SV wing that I must say, if you water jet those arms to have the least amount of metal on them and carbon everything else this might actually come off looking spectacular...see the image below?!? I think you can really go for that look and get away looking good at the same time!

and it has my scoops !

Im telling you guys. You must have vision. I guarantee you if I posted a photo of that Lamborghini wing without you being able to see it on a car everyone would scream rice. There are a lot of F&F type wings that do look terrible, but a wing that is constructed of high quality materials that is properly sized and mounted to a car looks really good in my opinion.

M.Bonanni · 10-09-2009, 06:46 PM

Now, onto other things. Here's what I have been dreaming up for SEMA as far as decals go to make it stand apart from any other 370Z thats there. Of course the wing will be different, this one is just a photoshopped APR wing off of my old 350Z...

And yes, I know its pretty much a rip of of Ken Block's Ghymkana 2.0 car as far as the base graphics go, but I have no imagination.

Looks great! Only one suggestion... a little bit NST would be awesome

Not bad...I like it. However, I feel like you need a little more green somewhere. Maybe some sort of pin stripe...i dunno.

Needs more APC stickers

travisjb · 10-09-2009, 11:40 PM

diggin the graphics!!... perhaps don't end them so abruptly at front of door... let them spill over or fade more quickly... on your name, maybe just white instead of going black/white/black

dlmartin81 · 10-10-2009, 05:33 PM

Also, you should put the green spade suite on your hood....like what's in you avatar.
