Thanks, man! That's the last thing I'm looking at....that woman's features and curves are to die for.

Riptide67 08-07-2014 10:21 PM

Scooped up an FI non resonated exhaust system today. I've been wanting to swap out my resonators and cans. The deal was sweet enough at 1k. Then I'll flip my 12" resonated system and call it done!

Good looking out, NuGen Auto!

NuGen Auto 08-11-2014 07:07 AM

Totally wrote riptide but autocorrect put flip side. LOL!

Finally received my "new" FI Non resonated exhaust yesterday. I'll be swapping it out this morning and I'm pretty excited to hear it teamed up with the FI long tube headers.

I'm also working with Avant Garde Wheels for the next year. I'm excited to be one of the first cars rolling on the new AG form/function directional series wheels.

Sold my zenclosure box with the JL10W3v3 over the weekend. Slowly getting prepared to tear the trunk apart again to reconfigure things. I have been brainstorming and coming up with ideas to give things a bit of a more "custom" flair. I've still got one Jl10w3v3 to utilize.

TWM_shift 09-29-2014 03:17 PM

Wow, this is truly sweet looking. Badass whip dude.

Thanks TWM_shift!

Got the news today from Yuya at Avant Garde that my wheels are in final assembly and will be shipping out this week. Just in time for #fest2014.

Just a few small recent purchases:
-Blox lug nuts (Anodized Purple)
-Evo-R Carbon Fiber Door switch covers

Riptide67 10-20-2014 06:14 PM

Wheels and tires have arrived! Just need my lug nuts and I'll be set!

Just as anxious as you must be :D

Riptide67 10-26-2014 10:06 PM

Took a 2 hour road trip on Friday to have the tires stretched and the new wheels balanced. Saturday afternoon I got around to installing them.

Oooo emmmm geeee! Melted my mind. Fitment is perfect and I am considering opening a deli. I'm slicing meat for sandwiches in the rear. It just beautiful and took the car to a new level.

I've got some shitty quality Galaxy S5 pics, lol. But, I'll be doing two photoshoots next weekend and a fitment show. The amazing pics will be coming!

LMBmikeZ 10-27-2014 04:48 AM

Yesterday pretty much wrapped up the car show season. Had a fun day yesterday at Fest and did a shoot with Brandon Hale Photography for an upcoming feature on Third World Society.

Knocked three more parts off my Drivetrain list. This is in prep for boost in 2015.

-JWT clutch/flywheel combo and Zspeed HD CSC.

GaleForce 11-03-2014 07:18 PM

Awesome!

Riptide67 11-03-2014 11:25 PM

The feature is up! Just one mistake I caught and that is that there is already a second fully carbon fiber 370Z.

Three full Carbon 370 when your done, the other two are have widebody kits on.

Riptide67 11-04-2014 04:19 PM

yessir, and I honestly dont think I would fully like the "rocketbunny-ish" widebody. It isn't really my taste, even though both of their cars look fantastic.

Amuse370z 11-05-2014 04:54 PM

What do you think about the weave and overall quality of the Evo-r CF b pillar, handles and mirror cover?

I'm considering getting them :) Are the B-pillers an add-on or a replacement?

There isn't a single flaw in any of my Evo-R parts. I like each and every one of them. The B pillars can both be a cover and or a replacement.

DatsunFTW 11-05-2014 05:49 PM

+1 to that. I have the b pillar cover and their gauge hat covers inside. Top notch

Riptide67 11-26-2014 04:22 PM

Things have been relatively quiet on the build, as I am moving into a new house. Hopefully snag a goodie or two on Black Friday this year. Possibly some Z1 2 piece rotors and their intake manifold :)

Trying to take some vacation time back east for Christmas and the airlines are super pricey this year :/

GaleForce 11-26-2014 10:49 PM

I live for updates in this thread. Need MOAR pics!

Riptide67 12-01-2014 03:30 PM

Don't worry, got another shoot and a video coming soon brotha!

Riptide67 01-02-2015 12:33 PM

Okay, so I made it home for the holidays which was a tad bit expensive. So, I was unable to take advantage on any of the fancy Black Friday and holiday sales this year.

But today, I did happen to score a new Z1 intake manifold from a guy on VQ Nation. Luckily he is trading in his Z for a new Q50 and never installed it. Scored it for $225 shipped and just have to send my OEM manifold back to him.

Riptide67 01-16-2015 03:02 PM

Z1 intake manifold arrived today. I'll hopefully be able to take some time and install it on Saturday or Sunday this weekend!
