Huck's Project Mistress
*EDIT*
List of all current mods (that I can think of at least) Interior Status Racing Seats link Kenwood DDX8901HD head unit GTR map light lenses link Alpine R SPR-60C component speakers Custom start button link Moddiction shift knob link Alpine R 12" Subwoofer link Zenclosure sub box link Kicker 400.1zx amp LED map lighting link LED footwell lighting link GTmat in the hatch/doors link 9500ix radar detector/custom blendmount link Exterior B2auto CF hood struts link Mines front lip Evo-R CF fang cover Varis rear diffuser Forgerstar F14's 9.5+20/11+15 link Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires Evo-R smoked led rear foglight link Smoked JDM tail lights Shaved rear emblems Headlight mod (dual projector, dual halo, flat black housing, PW shrouds, blue and red LEDs on switches) link Philips 85122 WX Ultinon 6K headlight bulbs LED DRL's 15% Llumar tint Custom Powdercoated PW strut bar link Custom Powdercoated PW tow hook link Custom front bumper plastic slat delete link Zspeed Aluminum shroud LED reverse lights link LED license plate lights link Backup camera Carbon fiber license plate frame PW color matched side marker turn signals Power/Handling NST underdrive pulley kit, crank and alternator Stillen Gen3 CAI Fast Intentions LTH/CBE non res'd combo link Uprev Tune (335hp/265tq) Z1 34row Setrab oil cooler Z1 Akebono BBK upgrade (drilled/slotted rotors, Akebono calipers, Posiquiet pads, SS brake lines, ATE 200 fluid) link SS clutch line M7 coilovers link Whiteline sway bars link SPL front and rear endlinks link SPC front and rear camber arms and toe bolts So it's gonna take me forever to actually save up for this stuff, but I figured I'll go ahead and start a build thread. So far the only mods are new head unit, blacking out my emblems and turn signals, and a set of Stillen Gen3 CAIs. I think before anything else I will save up for some sexy wheels, then I'll start working on bolt ons. I'm thinking FI LTH and CBE, and a set of pulleys should complete the package. Not trying to go crazy, just want some decent power gains :driving: Anyway, if you have any suggestions let me know! http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h9...s/IMG_2512.jpg Plastidipped front emblem http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h9...s/IMG_2510.jpg and the back ones http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h9...s/IMG_2509.jpg turn signals http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h9...s/IMG_2524.jpg got the parts in http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h9...s/IMG_2525.jpg jacked her up and got the bumper off http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h9...s/IMG_2526.jpg got the stock intakes out, and fitting the new ones http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h9...s/IMG_2527.jpg placing the filters. Sorry about the quality of the pics, I was getting hungry and shaky, and all were taken on my iPhone. http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h9...s/IMG_2530.jpg everything put back together http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h9...s/IMG_2531.jpg bumper back on. It was actually really easy to do this install because whoever had it before me had done the same exact mod, the plastic holes had already been cut and everything. This whole install from the bumper coming off to being put back on took about half an hour or so, and I was taking my time. |
great start man :tup: love the side turn signals...
|
Little mad your using that pic for your avatar...it's the avatar for my facebook club page as well...
Enjoy the car! |
Nice start
Looking back, I might have went with some wheels too before some of the mods I did as it makes such a big difference in the look. Oh wells...atleast my stock wheels are darker so it helps lol. Keep us updated! |
Thanks guys! Actually I can't decide on what wheels I want to get. Of course the Volk te37s are sexy, but I'm really liking a lot of AM Forged's wheels too. And I'm really sad that 5Zigen discontinued their 5ZR rims, those things were so beautiful. If I could find a set of those in the sizes I wanted it wouldn't be a contest. And this set by Avante Garde is pretty hot too...

Well, here's the next simple upgrade: LED lighting! Just got them in today. I got the ten pack of 194 replacements for the interior and a pair of projector LEDs for the front DRLs. I'll post up pics of how they look once it gets dark out, for now here's these...
all lined up http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h9...s/473adca4.jpg the DRL projectors http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h9...s/5802249b.jpg interior ones http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h9...s/aadfa4a6.jpg More to come soon!:tup::excited: |
You know what would really go well on this car? Some AAM short tail exhausts.
:D I like what you've done so far, bruv. |
Holy crap Shad, you're a genius! Why didn't I think of that before?? Say, do you know any middle eastern-type kids of questionable repute that have any for sale? I have my Paypal ready and waiting.
|
lookin good, you mind sharing the link of the lights? I might go the cheaper route as well ...looks bright enough that its better than the originals
|
Honestly it's about the same intensity as the originals for the interior, if not a bit dimmer. I just like the pure white (it comes out blue in the pictures). Keep in mind that this was more of an experiment, I wanted to see the quality and look of these cheaper LEDs. There are a few forum sponsors here that make great quality bulbs that look amazing for a good price, and in a while I will be ordering some more from them. You get what you pay for :)

Next super cheap mod, plasti-dipped wheels!
second coat... http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h9...s/058571e1.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h9...s/7747f47e.jpg All done! http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h9...s/b3b016c8.jpg I'll have some more pics tomorrow when it's light outside. |
Time for another little update with some cheap mods I've been doing. I get my Fast Intentions CBE/LTH in a few days and I'll have lots of fun installing that. This is something to hold you over till then :tup:
Zenclosure box with an old Sony Xplode sub I had laying around. I'll replace it with an Alpine type R later on when I can find another job... http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h9...s/2749a7b0.jpg I plastidipped my rear valence, came out alright. I pulled the masking tape off after doing one really thick coat before it dried, but the lines still came out slightly messed up. Not sure why... http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h9...s/04170a28.jpg And last but not least, I took my start button apart and painted it so that a Z shines at night. I think it looks pretty cool, and it was pretty easy to do. http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h9...s/4b425287.jpg at night with the iPhone... http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h9...s/889225c1.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h9...s/9cdac16a.jpg |
My FI exhaust gets here Friday! Can't wait! I've also got a set of Alpine typeR components coming in from another member here when he gets around to it.
|
sweeeet bro!!!!
|
Lol that's how I feel :)
|
Wow nice mod on the start button!! I like it...:)
|
Thanks! I haven't seen anyone else with it yet so I feel pretty unique :tup:

huck you should do my badges for me :)

Cool with me! But we'll need a bit of time. I have to work until 5 the Saturday you told me about, would you want to meet up in Orlando? I can do the drive to Tampa, but I would get there at like 8pm or so.

^^Mmmmm....Videos please! :tup:

Check the "fast Intentions is here" thread in the exhaust section. I just put a link to a quick vid there. I'm borrowing a buddy's sound recorder tomorrow and take some good vids and sound clips. :tup:

Looks nice!

Thanks man :) I just installed my crank pulley today, didn't really notice much of a difference, except for the fact that it seems to pull smoother, and when you blip the throttle it's a lot more responsive. The stock one is about 6lbs or so (guessing), and I would say the stillen one weighs just over 1lb. Plus it just looks sexy :) I'm guessing it added about 5-6 hp, and probably about the same in tq. Anyway, here's a pic of the two...

Nice exhaust man.. FootLoose301 has an FI with ART test pipes. It gave the exhaust a deeper growl and raised his low-end torque. Also lowered the cabin noise a little.
:tiphat: Dude nice build, subscribed.. |
Yeah that's gonna be one of the next things I'll do is dynamat the interior. Whenever NYblades gets the time to ship it, I'm buying his alpine components, so I'll do the rear hatch and the doors.
