ClemsonWill's Journal
Ok, so I have been lurking and learning from the forum for about 3 months now (1 month as a member). I have seen some great build threads so I have decided to start my own. But first I will give you a bit of my auto history just for fun.
In 1999 I purchased a Black Mitsubishi Eclipse GS OZ edition. This was the first car I really gave me the mod bug. I modded it with a number of bolts-ons including CBE, Test pipe, intake, header,coilovers, strut braces, wheels, etc. http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k3...f/P3120004.jpg Only picture I can find at the moment. I really liked this car but after 5 years and 100K miles I needed to change it up. So I decided to purchase a 2006 Suzuka blue Honda S2000, a car I had admired since high school. I modified this car pretty heavily. http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k3...6/IMG_0701.jpg http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k3...6/IMG_0703.jpg I loved the S2000 but I came to a cross road. Either I was going FI with the S2000 or look for a more powerful car. So I started researching and talking to friends about my pending plans. Not even a month later I had a good friend make me a great offer on the S2000. The decision was made a new car was in the cards. I decided on either a 2010 Grand Sport Corvette 1lt or a 2010 Touring/Sport 370z. On July 30th, 2010 I purchased a brand New Magnetic Black 370z Touring/Sport with floor mats, kick plates, and nav. I have named her LiZZy. http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k3...z/IMG_2855.jpg http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k3...z/IMG_2843.jpg http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k3...z/IMG_2844.jpg http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k3...z/IMG_2836.jpg http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k3...z/IMG_2834.jpg An update will be coming soon. At this moment the Z sits on jack stands waiting for it’s first mods. My thread has kind of gotten clogged up with random conversation so I figured I would make a little catalog for those looking for certain pictures or more important posts.

UPS and Fedex have been busy in front of my house the last few days.

I have the headlights back on the car. They look sick. MRworks did a great job. I just need to give her a bath and take some pictures. Hopefully tonight! Wheels may be a while. I can't make up my mind on what tires or lug nuts I want. I'm leaning towards RE-11s in 265/35 and 305/30.

nice craftsman tool chest.

I installed the lights at 341 miles. They look sick. Here are a few quick pictures.

A few pictures to really show off the Magnetic Black color matched housing with gunmetal shrouds.

Looks great! I cant wait to see your wheels.. what color are they!?
|
They are black. Probably won't post pictures until I get tires. Still debating between Re-11s and Ventus V12s. There is a $500 difference in price. Are the RE-11s worth an extra $500? I wish Dunlop made the star specs Z sizes. I loved them on my RE30s.
