Nice read, enjoyed seeing and hearing of your mods. I am currently looking into your VLED parking lights replacement. So many great mods in your progression thread. Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences with the community.

Finally!
Thanks to XwChriswx, I am now the proud owner of a set of sport package Rays along with a set of 20mm spacers all around! Yesterday, I stopped by Amplified Motorsports to have these installed and to hang out with Chris, Triple's, and Trips JR which was a lot of fun. I was, however, jealous of Chris since it was like Christmas take two with all the stuff he had done haha.
I was very surprised by how much of a difference the Rays and stock RE050 tires made: the car felt much more connected to the road, there was less slop as far as sidewall flex is concerned, and the car hooks up much better in 1st gear. I noticed slightly more tire noise but I don't mind it at all. Between the Swift springs, 20mm spacers, Rays, and increased negative camber, I think I have achieved what I consider to be the perfect functional stance. I will be taking each wheel off today to clean and polish them front and back but here are some current pictures:     Perfection:

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the comments! I might end up getting them powder coated or painted as the barrels have some pretty wicked staining. I will use an acid based cleaner as a last resort but if that doesn't fix it, I will need to think of a new color.

Small Photoshoot
Since today was so beautiful, I decided to go up to take some shots of my Z with the new wheels, drop, and exhaust as it sits. So I gave it a rinseless wash in the parking lot and drove up into the graduate campus. I did not heavily process these so they aren't really crazy, but I hope you enjoy them!
Up on the parking deck:        Gotta keep it real reppin' the370z.com!    Some Malibu money shots:   View of main campus:  My personal favorite:  A few things I plan to add sometime this year: -Stillen front spoiler -GTR start button -Evo-R FRP rear diffuser -MAYBE Akebonos (dependent on money) Thanks for looking.

Coming along very good Christian! Once you find some Akebonos and a rear spoiler you pretty have pieced together a sport touring package, minus what?

Thanks guys! I will have everything from the sport package minus the LSD, but my eventual plan is to install a Quaife limited slip diff. At that point, the only thing I would have left to do is throw some forced induction at her but that is quite a ways down the road I think!

Ahhh.... I now see your reasoning not to just buy the sport package. Good plan, in for your next mod.
Boost_lee go for the 20mm up front, you will not regret it. I like mine. btw: I can hook you up with a set of H&R 20mm DRS that I am selling. |
