I they made the Nismo in Blue, I would have definitely bought one. TjLazer's looks so good.
But I would love to change wheels as often as you do :D


Now I think the car needs a Mine's/UAM spoiler :stirthepot:

Kingbaby 10-26-2011 02:22 AM

lol at the chopped car...


I like it more now than Op's current car lol

coilovers

Boost_lee 10-30-2011 11:22 PM

removed the front 5mm spacer and went down from a 25mm to a 20mm in the rear. I'm much happier with the fitment now

If I go with a wider tire, I'll go down to a 15mm rear spacer too.

Boost_lee 11-01-2011 12:38 AM

three random pics
(still with the 5/25 spacers)

Looks sooooo good! I don't know why I haven't checked your page in a while, this thing has had an entire makeover since I saw it last. Killer stuff. I just got new wheels on mine too! And at only $800 wheels and tires I'm ballin on a budget just like you! I ended up selling my rays for more than $800 so I made money lol

All the more reason for both of us to get coils I guess :roflpuke2:

Boost_lee 11-02-2011 12:18 AM

thanks

yea coils cross my mind and wallet everyday now :/

sfearl1 11-02-2011 03:15 PM

how much heavier are the new wheels vs. the stock rays? is there any significant difference in handling?

Very nice man, I would def paint the fangs black. It will look sick trust me. maybe plastidip them and see how you like it.

TheGreatOne 11-02-2011 04:41 PM

Looking beautiful....went under quite the transformation recently

Question: those Evo R Sides, I just picked up the Shine Auto version in CF...to you feel it lowers the car much on the sides...or not really noticable? I'm hoping not that noticable lol

Again, looks beautiful, great job!

Haven't pushed the car, but I can feel that they are a little heavier. I think I weighed these in at a tad over 26lbs :mad: But I didn't pick these wheels with any performance in mind. Thats why I'm probably going to keep the stocks

Thanks, but I live my fangs. I've had a front overlay for the fangs since I bought the car and could never put it on. I just like them too much. Now shaving the nissan emblem, yes. Sometime in the future

Thanks, the blades lose an inch tops to the overall ground clearance of the sides. The Shine auto version is a complete replacement sideskirt, isn't it? I didn't know they made just a side blade.

Thanks for the kind words

Still debating on coilovers to get the stance right...sigh. I would like the look, but I do enjoy the clearance I have now

sfearl1 11-03-2011 02:09 AM

I think the drop you have now is good. Did you have to do any fender work to make those fit?

Boost_lee 11-03-2011 02:46 AM

Thanks, no fender work. With the +15 in the front, it rubbed the plastic fender liner only. Rears were fine. I thought they were a tad too aggressive for my ride height, so I took off the 5mm in the front and went down to a 20mm in the rear. If I go wider tire, I'll need to go down to a 15 mm or so. I think I'm running 2.6 camber in the rear

W.O.W. 370Z 11-03-2011 08:12 AM

Setup looks sick!!

Boost_lee 11-03-2011 11:08 PM

thanks bud :)

ZForce 11-04-2011 12:51 AM

Setup is sick, and I agree you might want to consider black out on the fangs. Not sure on plastic dip though. Does it leave a rough finish? All the plastic dip's I have seen do not look that good ....but that is just my opinion or maybe I have not seen a good job.

Boost_lee 11-16-2011 01:46 AM

thanks, still considering the fangs.

I second that. One of these days us 3 modded out Monterey blues need to make a trip across Texas and find a centralized location to take photos! That would be Sick!

Great taste, awesome pics! <3 that blue!

christian370z 11-19-2011 04:14 PM

I love those wheels! Did you notice a difference in weight between the S/P Rays and these wheels?

Boost_lee 11-19-2011 09:02 PM

thanks

I did notice a slight increase, yes. For me right now, it was worth the weight increase :D

That would be fine, I can use a black backdrop and it will work great. I'm curious how you had the flash set, I would love to try doing this with my car. Pm on its way

Boost_lee 12-06-2011 11:53 PM

not my Z, but my Accord made the Super Street Readers rides for January :D
http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...M/eff7995c.jpg

I sent them both, but I guess they liked the Honda

Splinter 12-10-2011 12:39 AM

Lol from my day of reading super street I could have told you which one they would have chosen. That magazine is always filled with Hondas:stirthepot:

Wish I could have gone seen it run at the strip tho, how did she do?

There was a Nismo in the readers rides also, had drop in filters/test pipes :stirthepot:

Haven't brought the car back to the track though, I need to touch up the tune and turn the boost back up :tup:

Splinter 12-10-2011 11:45 AM

lol they probably only allow 1 readers ride per person so they chose you honda because its super street :stirpot:

still either of your car's mod lists will completely dwarf the other cars list lol

let me know the next time you take it to the track, i'll see if i can make it
