Car looks sexy. Is it just me or do the side skirts look like a darker shade of yellow?

Yeah the bottom part does look a bit darker... Also looking around the entire car, it appears the color is 'off' between the plastic parts and metal parts. A buddy of mine was explaining that the paint reflects a different shade in the metal because of how the chemistry is @_@

I'll redo the sides one day... Or i'll go Amuse

GTM Stage 2 Supercharger Kit Report:

So I've had the car for about 2 weeks now and just giving a quick update to those who are following the build.

1. I pushed the car on Saturday and opened her up next against a Single Turbo G35. Safe to say, that I pulled hard and fast away from the other car. Just wanted to make sure it was fast ;-)

2. Engine noise is pretty loud. You're going to have to turn up your music as the noise is overpowering at times. Something to consider but I don't mind hearing my engine, supercharger, and bypass valve =)

3. Speaking of music, this might be something totally non-related to the SC Kit, but I do experience my audio lowering in volume randomly. Mostly when I'm pushing the gas... Like it doesn't happen everytime, but it does happen enough to notice. Again, maybe totally unrelated.

4. Stock Traction Control. VDC ON. The car compensates and slows the car down when this is on. I have yet to drive it with VDC OFF and am afraid to until I have a wider/open lanes of travel. For this long weekend, I'll create some videos with my GoPro and Canon 60D

5. Fuel rate (MPG). I notice this car eats gas like a Samaon family at a buffet. I find myself looking at the mileage a lot as it drops rather quickly. Safe to say, it's not used to save gas =P

Closing comments:

Car runs great. SC whine is noticeable once it's completely warmed up. Bypass valve can be heard from far away when pounding it. And it's a head turner for sure...

So yesterday, my front lip for my Z came off while I was on the FWY @_@’ I pulled over and was able to rescue it from the oncoming cars… pretty crazy stuff.

Anyways, seeing that I already bought 2 of these bad boys… I decided to just temporarily fix it so my car doesn’t seem like it’s missing something. I in no means want the lip to come out perfect or professional. I just wanted to have that thing back on there. SO yeah, it’s gonna look tacky as hell!




^I was reading about resin, bondo, re-fiberglassing the SOB… but I don’t need all that ish. I know this lip is going to get destroyed again so here was my ‘temporary fix’ idea. Hella painter’s tape and PLASTIDIP! W00t w00t!





^I missed a lot of spots on my first coat =P not a professional here!



^Hmmm I'm gonna have to color that black with a marker...



^not the greatest job, but it’s better than giant cracks all around it. Plus you can’t see it while rolling =)

Results:





Now off to the marketplace and get a replacement...

^Thanks!

Yeah it's hella low... probably why I go through them so quickly. My Amuse 350z diffuser shared the same fate but I couldn't patch that up =(

So far the weekend has been pretty epic. A lot of good food, nice cars, and great runs with my fellow PROJECT-DEFINITION Hawaii guys… amazing how fast our cars are (and loud!). Sunday though, we just hung out, washed out cars, and did a small photoshoot:






Group shots:





Oh and I lost my front lip again… for good this time >_<
