simota1 · 05-01-2013, 02:42 AM

man that thing is so clean.... good job buddy

TheGreatOne · 06-18-2013, 08:51 AM

Well been busy with a move and I stupidly agreeded to do all the painting plus to add to that I agreed to do another Muay Thai fight next month (July 13th) so I've been missing many meets and not having alone time with my Z...I just get to drive her and thats it..

Taking some days off sooon so we can have alone time, I can get the coilovers installed, get her really detailed, etc

I got some pics for now....I'm actually looking for a Motordyne M370 if someone knows someone selling...

Last pics is from a show that got rained out...got invited to be part of a booth which was nice.

Thanks bro

No idea what to do next, I'm thinking do some minor little things to enhance the Z

- Illuminated door sills (actually orderd those already)
- Hood Dampers
- Stainless steel brake lines

oh and need to re-clear my dull CR mirror covers I bought.

simota1 · 06-18-2013, 03:36 PM

hood dampers are a great mod man.... i miss mine dearly....

i hate the donkey stick each time i work on my z... and then maybe stainless brake lines

TheGreatOne · 09-24-2013, 07:18 AM

Well I haven't updated this in ages lol.

Was extremely busy, missed so many car meets and events, I didn't even do Time Attack this season and I bought sick tires for it

Recently someone local was parting out and sold his Z, I took his Carbon Signal Type N spoiler off his hands, never thought I needed more wing but this is subtle with a beautiful Duckbill to it. I only test fit it so far...will install this week...

Oh and on the highway heading to the border Sunday I lost my lip, it flew off, I guess going 230km was too much lol. Oh wells, serves me right. Bright side, easier to get in my garage now hahaha. Video of me getting into garage before

How I get my Z into the garage - YouTube

TEST FIT

BEFORE

Oh and I finally put in my illuminated kick plates

simota1 · 09-24-2013, 07:41 AM

I also took your advice and I got some Hood struts coming in, jumped on the Kelly fields struts group buy

I still have to put the Samco hoses I got from you in...will do that this week too

Not at all, it slides right on top of the stock wing snugly. I have 3M on it and its not going anywhere.

Love it

How about weight? Does it make the trunk even more heavy? I know it's CF but still..

Actually good question, when you hit the button to pop the hatch, it doesn't "always" pop completely. The Z must be truly fine tuned to not pop too strongly.

So what I do is as I pop the trunk I have my pinky on the trunk to push up at the same time...minor annoyance, no biggie

I think there is a mod in the DIY section about adding pennies or something to make the trunk pop stronger/more consistent.

TheGreatOne · 10-11-2013, 12:54 PM

The wing itself is stupid light though, so the trunk pop mechanism is definitely sensitive
