i should've dented the f**king exhaust :shakes head: :mad:

rofl

dont forget i know now were u live lol

:icon23:

i love u too

We all know where he lives, how do you think we get pillows.

he brings em to work also.

why wouldn't i? they're nice and fluffy, and makes me feel comfortable :ugh2:

Both your car and Kevins look great but I would love to see them OEM headlights back in (oem look that is). The light mods on both of the cars cheapen the look of the car so much. All these high end parts w/ lights that look like they came out of Pepboys. And man up and do a proper drop.

You are so close...!!

Keep up the good work.

^ lol

:eek:

id like to hear what that combo sounds like.

When I chose to do the lights it was because I like to keep a simple theme to the car. Almost every accent on the car is red and black, so the headlights were changed to match it. I don't think the OEM look would have blended as well - while contrast is a good thing sometimes (hence why I'm looking for new paint ideas), I don't think I want the headlights to be the only piece of silver on the front.

I don't want to do a proper drop, I have a 4x4, duhhhhhh :roflpuke2:

To explain - The roads around my house are HORRIBLE. I'm surrounded by railroad tracks, and they're all gouged out and terrible to drive over. Hence, I keep my drop fairly conservative just to be safe. If they ever clean up the roads I'd drop the car a little more, no problem. But for now, I'm comfortable where it is.

Haha, you Amuse guys are so silly!

lol

You know what, I think this is an amuseing thread.

haha thanks christian! I am amused by your amusement.

drive slow over the tracks, you barely drive rin anyway! lol

thank you!

Buddy, you are the only person that doesn't like the headlight so far, most people told me the headlights look sick (even the evo and sti guys, we all know how much they dislike Zs). Besides doesn't Ferrari 458 comes with blackout headlights, and Z06 comes with color match headlights? As for the height, the car is not a show car, I do drive it, and there's a thing called the speed bump, I don't want to do the 45 degrees turn every time I go over them just to avoid hitting the bumper.....

its not even worth is kevin trust me. Plenty of newbies are like that.

^ :rofl2:

to each their own. it's nice to see another amuse Z with a conservative drop though :tup:

besides, drew, we all know u don't give a sh*t what happens to your kit ;) hahaha

Nope I drive it like i stole it

Hey Phelan...is your Amuse exhaust a little lower on the passenger side by chance? For some reason mine seems to be about 5mm lower on the passenger side...and I dont think that you can really adjust the height. So I am trying to figure out how to remedy that.

Just wondering.

I drive mine through downtown seattle. your puny train tracks mean NOTHING :icon18:

come to cali for a day....those punny tracks will give you the ride of your life. lol

XLR8 - I don't think mine was THAT severely misaligned, but one side was a little further down than the other. I put a level i have at home on it and it was only a little off.

There's no real way to do fix the exhaust itself, you might just have to put a 5mm washer on the driver side to make it match?

:rofl2:

hai lou!

We removed that extra bracket from the Nismo model and it seems to have aligned it a little bit more. Slightly off...but it seems to have fixed it for the most part.

One thing though is that the Nismo model seems to clear the EVAP container a bit more versus the non-Nismo models.

I just looked over your pics from 1-1-11, and all I can say is wow. Your car is an absolute stunner, I am in awe of how clean it looks and not overdone. I know some of the other members were saying break up the red with something but the car flows so well I cant imagine what would make it look better. Great job with the build man.

Curious. Did you still end up moving it?

Thank you for the kind words :tup:

Hard to describe....but best way to look at it would be to pull the picture from 370Ztune.com.

The pipe goes into the lower canister versus crossing over to the top one...so this allowed more clearance on the EVAP container. I just used Thermo-Tec adhesive heat shield material to help reflect the heat though. Rated to 2000 degrees F.

I did have to remove the heat shield around the EVAP unit though.

From what I was reading...you might need to jury rig a PVC pipe to make a make shift EVAP container unit. The 350Z guys were having this exact issue as well.

Amuse!! - Page 2 - MY350Z.COM Forums

It is a bit ghetto....but nobody really sees it and it is better than a melted EVAP unit. I dont know if you have "wiggle" room with the Amuse kit to move that EVAP unit more to the side....or a complete relocation. I would assume that as long as your connections are the same and the sensors are intact, it doesnt really matter where you move it....to a degree.

Oh that's definitely interesting...so it's been an issue for a while now. Wonder why they never fixed it / realized the issue on the 350z? They could have saved themselves the headache on the 370s.

To answer your question, we looked at where we could move the EVAP canister, and there just was no way to move it anywhere else that would help. Other than starting to do some bodywork on the rear bumper to MAKE it work. Moving it to the middle would interfere w/ the canisters, too.

Anyway, hopefully I have some news coming soon about it. Still working hard on the issues at hand :tup: There's plenty of things I need to fix on Rin before she's back to 100% haha

Well....best of luck. I am sure that in the end it will turn out okay....just a royal pain the in butt till then.

Hope that it is soon though. The complete package looked pretty impressive.....okay....maybe a little MORE than impressive.

rin rin rin

Just scanned through the whole evelution of your car. I missed the reason you got rid of the carbon fiber. Nice car though

he is allergic to it.

it smelled of resin inside the cabin :rofl2:

i got rid of the CF because it started warping.
