I also got the car UpRev tuned today at Specialty-Z. My car was running rich on the baseline run so Seb worked his magic and got the AFR between 12.5 and 13. I picked up about 12hp from the tune.

Seb at Specialty-Z was great. He took the time to explain everything. It was a great experience and I highly recommend him.

Here are the maps that I got.

1. 91 Octane Tune
2. Fuel Economy
3. Valet
4. Anti-Theft
5. Factory Tune

Here are my dyno graphs and a pic from the shop.

Added the Z1 hood struts today and also went back to the stock air boxes with K&N drop-ins. The hood struts are nice to have. Not having the annoying hood rod in the way while you work is great.

Just experimenting with different setups. I'm going to have the car dyno'd again soon to compare the typhoons vs. the stock air boxes.

Installed the Z1 Post MAF tubes today. At first I tried to install them without removing the strut bar but that was turning out to be a pain. Removing the strut bar made it way easier. Next up is the Z Speed Undershroud which I'm hoping to get to this weekend.

Thanks! I have been out to the Cerritos meet before. I've been meaning to get out there again but they always seem to fall on a weekend when I already have other commitments. Hopefully this next one I will be able to make it.

So would it be safe to assume that you are Cuban, Mr. Cuban Z? lol. I am half Cuban myself. :tup:

pedZ 08-18-2012 01:10 PM

Installed the ZSpeed Under Shroud today while doing an oil change. This thing is nice. Obviously a little heavier than the stock plastic one but not by much. It will be nice to not have to remove the cover when doing an oil change now. :tup:

Been a long time since I've posted in this thread. I installed the Takeda Cold Air Intake today and took the Z out for a drive. I'm really happy with this intake. I like the fact that you don't have to cut up the stock intake holes like you do with the Stillen intake. The car definitely feels a little more responsive now as well.

I installed the RJM Performance Adjustable Clutch Pedal Assembly today. This has now become my favorite mod. I was never fond of the stock clutch feel and swapping it out for the RJM unit makes a world of difference. The clutch catches much lower now and is much smoother. Shifts are now the way they should be. The install was a pain for me since it's a tight squeeze and I'm kind of a big guy. I'm also left handed which didn't help. I highly recommend this product to anyone with a 6MT.

Oh, I also removed the useless weight from the hatch today. :tup:

So now that I have gotten more driving time in with the RJM clutch pedal I appreciate this mod even more. This is how the pedal should have been from the factory. The pedal is worth every penny!

In other news, my Swift springs and SPC camber arms arrive in the mail today. :happydance: Now I just have to schedule the install and alignment. I'm going to have my buddy do the install at his shop but he is out of town right now so I have to wait until he is back. Can't wait!

Very clean tastefully modded!

I had my new Swift springs, SPC rear camber arms, and toe bolts installed yesterday. Here are some pics. Now I just have to let the car settle for a week and get the alignment. It definitely needs it.

paperboy42190 aka George did some work on my headlights today. I had him paint the housing satin black and install STi-R lenses and Morimoto xbALed Angel Eyes. George does some excellent work and I'm really happy with how they came out.
