AbgYaks' Journal..
 
As of today 7th July 2010 My 370Z is 1 year and 27 days old. Its been rolling for 25000 kilometers (15500 miles) and within that period of time i've added few mods to it.... Here goes my 370Z Journal...

Bought a Solid Red 370Z 7AT on the 10th June 2009.. wanted a manual but wasnt available at that time not until the next few weeks!! Couldnt wait that long so i settled for the AT...

Here's the All Stock 370Z Pic... The very 1st Picture of it!!

Headlights are a tad different from mine though. Only slightly though.

abgyak 07-08-2010 05:46 AM

Thanx for the feedback guys... Yeah quite similar to Phelan's as a whole, but to some extent of details i guess not... Actually would've receive the Amuse kit sometime in April but due to shipping problems had to wait till June... Oh well... More pics to come... Enjooooy :)

Phelan: Well actually i asked a local electrician to modify them so the Show & Go License Plate wont Flip as it should be. Made a hole just the size dimension of the license plate in front of the grill and the metal bar holding the motor has to be bent a bit just to avoid from hitting the inner top bumper... Should fit nicely on an amuse bumper :)

209Z 07-09-2010 07:51 PM

i would love to see a cops face be like No front license plate sir?

Huh? sir I have no idea what you are talking about? I do have one!

lmaoooo!

thankss waizzz + rep!!!!

stunning ride! well done:tiphat:

Mr&Mrs 10-02-2010 09:27 AM

Wonderfully done! Hi five! I want to install the show in go in the rear. Should work just as well.

CrownR426 01-19-2011 02:44 PM

Hey what happened to your Gold Work Vs-xx??
Those would've looked amazing on the Z!

abgyak 06-14-2011 07:58 PM

Its been a while since i've updated this thread. It seems that i have not added anything to my Z until recently, her 2nd Birthday (10 June 2011). Some parts arrived earlier and some came on time and unfortunately one part didnt fit in the car & needs a new replacement. So here goes:

On the 13th April 2011, the CarbonSignal V1 Fenders arrived.

http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._1438087_n.jpg

http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...6_801563_n.jpg

http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._5666411_n.jpg


Disassembled the door knobs and painted them solid red
http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._1199651_n.jpg

Sometime in May 2011, my swift springs arrived from Kamispeed. These springs gave a 1.2" drop for the fronts and an inch for the rear & still gives a much more comfortable ride than the stock ones.

http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._2918334_n.jpg

Soon after the long awaited wheels (20" VSXX) arrived along with SPC camber kit and H&R Spacers.

http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._3660061_n.jpg

http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._2705470_n.jpg

Installed them all on the 9th June 2011 for her birthday the next day.....
http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._3401191_n.jpg

http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._7364420_n.jpg

More pics to come for the final outcome.... with some frustration :shakes head:

hdskull 06-14-2011 11:04 PM

You got your wheels!!!!

i got them alright.. but a lil disappointment to it :shakes head:

370Z JT 06-15-2011 12:56 AM

Fenders look good! Were they modified OEM or fiberglass?

abgyak 06-15-2011 01:29 AM

Carbon Signal made them... they modified the OEM and used layers of fiberglass to make them... fitment was nearly perfect & they run along with the amuse kit... will post some pictures of the full car soon....
