nice man...on both of your rides

sfearl1 01-24-2014 02:43 PM

Yeahhh! Nice man.. looks great. How's it ride? Think I'm ordering some fiberglass fenders and bedsides for mine soon :tup:

Thanks guys

The spacer lift rides a little tighter than stock, but it feels better to me. The AAL is a bit harsher over sudden bumps, but its not too bad.
I blame you for this splurge of money, Sfearl1 :icon17:

I thought about fenders too, just to tame down the offset of these wheels, but I wish there were some decent fender flares. Not really feeling the bushwhackers...

I really wish I had a 4x4 though. I even debated on getting a rear locker so I could try some wheeling

I must have spent the last 3-4hrs reading through your build thread. I can honestly say that I do not feel as if that time was wasted. VERY clean Lee! You're coming up on 4yrs of ownership and modded at a decent rate. That makes me feel better knowing that MY mods/endgame will take just about as long haha

Glad that you have kept the Z after reading through this :tup:

Car looks so sick! I am loving the MB color!

Boost_lee 01-30-2014 10:58 PM

Thanks guys. I went pretty mod heavy at the beginning, but came to a halt once I saw it was time to pay it off.
We'll see what happens in the future, I really only drive this thing twice a month now :(

Forgot to post this here, but for the last few months of the year I had focused on getting my Honda Accord running again. I ended up rebuilding the engine myself (first time) and got it retuned on a GT3076R (.63 AR) with some Q16 racegas. Put down 420whp/375wtq. Keep in mind, this is an F22 SOHC non-vtec with a stock head, an engine that makes about 115whp stock.

My tuner ran out of map sensor, so we stopped at 27.5psi. I feel that the turbo size was holding it back, but numbers are numbers. I was really aiming for track times, as there has yet to be a CB7 Accord in the 10's.

I went out to my first event (cold day in Dec) and put down a 11.68 @ 127 and an 11.7 @ 129. After talking with the tuner, he said I could get this thing in the 10's with some tweaks and some seat time. That'll be my goal for this first half of the year, then I can finally part ways with this car. Hopefully I can do it without going for more power. Here are 2 clips of the 11.6 run

Oh, and the Genesis staged the lights with his rear tires, so he already had a head start :icon17:

aww only twice a month, thats sad :( Hopefully you get more seat time in it.

I do remember you posting about your Accord before though, thats amazing numbers and the potential to get 10's with some tweaks must be exciting!

Not a good day for the daily :(

Not sure how I should handle it through their insurance. hard to tell if the bumper mounts were bent during the hit

shaun66 03-26-2014 12:35 AM

Bummer about the accident! Funny that your accord is faster than the Z, but looks slower! (thats a compliment BTW all your rides are really cool!)

Mr&Mrs 03-26-2014 03:31 AM

They are more than likely bent. When my truck got hit I purchased all the parts myself then used a sledge hammer to beat the brackets back straight. Was able to pocket around 700.00 all said and done.

carlitos_370z 03-26-2014 06:33 AM

your Z looks perfect dude!!! :tup:

Boost_lee 03-30-2014 11:57 PM
