Haha. Must have been quite a sight. Thank you. We will catch up soon this weekend. We both need to make sure alligments did not go crazy!

Love those shots and the ones you took of my "Top Dog" LOL. I sure enjoyed talking with you and getting to know a little about the man behind this thread. You are a class act my friend...till next time!

Looks like fun, I need to make it soon.

You are too kind Bob! Post those pics up for the world to see that beautiful ride!
I hope to see you there next year!

love those rolling shots! any video??

I wish but no I didn't get anything recorded on the dragon.

:(

That's dedication to the cause!

In it to win it!

So a little while since I have posted but the Z is getting tucked away for the rest of the month and most of July. Going on vacation to Europe for 4 weeks! Flying into Paris and taking a rental all the way up through the Netherlands, as far east to Poland to visit family after 5 years and down through Slovakia and into Italy. Going to be making some great visits to Porsche, Mercedes, the Nurburgring, Ferrari and Lambourghini. Will be taking loads of pics.

The Z was resting after Zdayz so I did not have a chance to pull through with some flushing and replenishing of brake, diff, clutch, and engine fluids. My plan after the trip is to finally purchase an Akebono kit with slotted rotors and stillen brake cooling kit (or stoptech if possible) and a VLSD. Going into full performance mode! New exhaust, intake, manifold, TB's, and shooting for an EcuTek tune! Big plans as far as NA power. She dyno-ed at 275hp with nothing really but an exhaust so we need to get this sorted asap! Although my stock tips may be deceiving for the slightly fabricated exhaust, we need a big one back there (yes one nice and shiny titanium exhaust tip ;) ).

I took off and sold my prior Seibon Sr Style lip and talked to the guys at aerojacket to send me a fresh one. Feels too silly without one.

Lots of more track days incoming so suspension will be a priority as well. Want to get myself some sway bars and bushings. Although it may be taking forever due to the cost of all of this craziness... the rest of 2015 is looking fairly bright for myself. Let's hope it pulls through :)

Looks good. The white letters are intriguing. Wondering how long it stays white and clean. Let the rest of us know what the upkeep is like. As for your trip, enjoy. Europe has a lot going for it. Many places to go to. I have Spain, Holland, and Czechoslovakia on my next go to list.

3 weeks on them so far. Haven't budged at all and have been shiny white since day one. I have already made a few highway trips as well. TredWear is good stuff.

I haven't been in Czech for a very long time. It will be nice to be back

Nice bro! have a great vacations :tup: BTW im very jealous that you are going to Nurbugring :p thats on of my dreams... rent a car and take some laps in the Green Hell:excited: get some videos of that too if you can.

On your plans for the Z... awesome :tup: and can wait to see it done! I know that those upgrades take time but i know you will make it happen :tup:

:tup:

B@t™

Digging the tire letters! :tup:

Such clean beautiful work brother!!

Wish I could've bought your lip.!

Thank you my friends. I am having some tasty home-brewed wine in Poland currently for you all :tup:

Excellent work, looks great!
Just finished all 28 pages; can't wait to see what else you do.

Happy vacation!

I really appreciate it thank you! I hope all goes well and the performance gains will be great! I also was looking into picking up a 240z. We will see what happens :)

I apologize if i make no sense at the moment. Family in Poland is throwing a big bonfire fun time and i am having quite the amount of drinks

And my English is probably crap hehhe

So just a little update.

Mushimoto Maf tubes and K&N filters

Also painted my covers satin black and painted some caps and such in gold. Did not want to go crazy with the gold so instead I made it an accent. Picture makes it look flat for some reason

Yesterday I replaced the brake pads with some fresh Hawk HPS as well as flushed the system and replaced my fluid with some mad Motul 660.

Also rerouted my ducts to the front brakes. Going back to the dragon August 8th-10th so we need to be ready!

Thursday I also put on my fresh lip from Aerojacket :)

Damn bro!!! looks really good and unique :drool: BTW im going to take my vacations on October... we have to talk about my headlights when you have a chance or PM me :stirthepot:

Any updates with this beautiful car Lol

Quite a bit actually! haha let me copy and paste from the other forum.

Been a bit of time but just a few updates. I returned to the dragon a couple of weeks ago and had an absolute blast once again! I think I pushed it to the absolute limits this time. I seriously can not wait to do some more mods for that extra handling and power capability! The underside of the brand new front spoiler I got, not more than a week before the trip, was completely shaved down to the fibers haha!

A little exhaust action at the Fontana Dam. :) We camped out there for 2 days. There was no one there besides us! So we had a really fun time. No service or internet the whole weekend! Pump up the volume!




So on our way back. Literally pulling off the freeway exit, a cheeky ****head raccoon ran in front of me. 8 hour drive and it had to happen right before getting home..

So after dealing with loads of issues with my radiator overflow tank and a lot of coolant everywhere... I only recently fixed the issue. The frame was fine, everything else was alright in the end but boy I REALLY need to get to the paint shop. My insurance will screw me over if I go through them.. so I also need to reconsider them. That will be done soon and probably will get the hood repainted in the process for prices cheaper than my deductible :eek: Yesterday I also noticed that my headlights went out while driving at night... pulled them off and noticed that they were completely waterlogged and the ballasts were soaked.. So now time for new headlights... I am quite the lucky guy am I right?

Got myself a cheap 100 dollar ebay lip for the time being. I miss my CF but this one will do for now.

Freshly painted bumper :icon17: as well as a custom paint blend I ordered from Australia for my headlight housings. Finally looking like a decent car again!

You're pretty good with the camera, Thomas!

And the car is nice too, as always :tup:

Congrats bro! Glad that everything looks like new again!

Thanks guys. I still have to finish up the passenger headlight because I dont have the other angel eye. In a little bit I will be drilling into the plastic bumper trim to fit up my DRL's. I normally have a carbon fiber cover over it so if I don't like it, I'll just cover it up. If I do, I'm going to drill into cover. I think it will look nice :) I'll post pictures soon

https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5799/...72a22feb_b.jpg
Lol...that front lip literally gliding over the pavement!

The dragon needed a sacrifice

More pictures in the daylight tomorrow if anyone is interested.

Anytime brother let me know once you got it installed if there was a big difference on the upper mid range.
Can you test the AFR of my Z?

Very well done, shuttle and stylish!!!

Where did you get those DRL at, I like those a lot.
