littlebit of an update
 

So I just wanted to come back here and update a little bit. I love the way my Z sits now with the H&R's. Overall not a bad pair of springs! Not too stiff and not too soft either. The usual bumps on the road I can feel a bit more but not too much. I thought I was going to have a bad time with these cause of my back but there isnt much, if at all, that bothers me about them.

Love the way she sits!

So now... here is where the FLAMING might begin. :eek:
Got around to getting another set of halos for my headlights and this time I went with the superbrightleds' RGB Angel Eye Kit. I had no initial intention of going that route but it was fairly cheaper than going with the XB kit and there is much more to it.

With this kit I can change through a variety of colors as well as a few "in-betweeners." I also have the choice of choosing strobing effects.

Obviously I am not going to be running any of these on the road, except white, since its illegal and Ricey.... but it does make me smile to see kids run up to the car and get excited about the effects and take videos.

Well here are some pics regardless of whether or not you guys like it or not. :ugh2:

If anyone wants me to post a video on the lights in the sunlight or night time, I will.

For the very near future, I need to order rear spats desperately and I am also thinking about the stillen roof wing. Exhaust is a must and I should get around to it as soon as I can.

I wish I can drop mine but NYC's roads + lowered car = car death.


Great build so far!

DatsunFTW those Halos are Hawwwt! Where can I look for them? Can you shoot ne a pm or though here ?

Halos look great!:tup::tup:

Painted Roof Window Spoiler for Nissan 370Z 08 09 Extreme | eBay

Have you seen these? I'd rather spend $85 painted instead of $220 plus shipping

What do you think

Damn! Great find! I will order one of these this week.

Decided to update the thread due to the fact that I've been slacking on this project and I am in need some motivation to prepare my car for some monthly autocrossing.

Since last updated:

Got the wheel spacers for the front so now I am running 25/25 f/r.

Exhaust: Removed rear section muffler (kept stock resonators) paired with non-res test pipes. The drone is there but not disturbing or annoying. Definitely need to dynomat the interior. Will post a video. Excuse the quality.



Alligned front and rear @ -2.5 camber 0.04 degrees toe (R) -2.0 camber 0.00 degrees (F)

Just for fun and looks painted tire lettering.

Painted front emblem factory red.

Looking to buy and install soon:
(money isn't as flowing as I want it to so it won't be as quick of a build as expected since I recently moved and had to sell the daily)

DIY air routing from front fang slots to airbox

MAF tubes, drop in filters

34 row oil cooler

APR Splitter support rods

Set of lightweights and good tires. (nothing specific atm)

And of course, need to share some current pics :)

Since I'm poor and can't afford mods at the moment, I'll just share some pics

Gave her a full detail and it looks so much prettier than ever. Alongside all of the other color Z's in this parking lot, I still love the red over everything else :)

Some of your cell phone shots look pretty good.

Cell phone shots? No these were taken with my dslr. But thanks :)

Feeling better man? Nice build very clean.

What did you use to paint your tires white?

Nice touch. I really wanna see your Z in person.

No actually. Feeling worse... I love the cold but the cold doesn't love my girl and I. She's feeling better but I am a sick dog this last week.

The tire lettering I did with Duplicolor hot tires marker.

We will meet up soon, considering Zfest is coming up next weekend.

Forgot to post this 2 weeks ago
 

:rolleyes:

Thats cool bro. Can we do that DIY on my Z when you have the chance?
I do have a short ram intakes. That should do to let some cold air pass through it.

Sure we can do it anytime. I just need to find an easier way to make a flange for the fang area. I know stillen has made one for the brake cooling kit but nothing that would come separate from the kit. I'm sure we can work around it.

Customize it and place some black aluminum metal screen to protect from dirt and leaves of some sort.

Lol. Was looking at your Flickr album. Quite a few shots were from your Samsung. Good job. Must be a pain to keep clean with FL rain.

Unless you put a leaf blower into the tubing, nothing will get up there.

I post some of my phone pics onto flickr in private so that I can open them on the computer and edit them if I dont have my camera with me :)

and yes FL rain is a pain (oh the cheese) but at least its winter and no rain will come by for a couple of months.

Its a beauty well done, now BBK and wheels. and you are set.

Thats the plan :tup:

Saw you drive by on 75th earlier. :tup: Lookin' Sharp.

Oh really? didnt see ya. We need to bring the whole gainesville group together soon! Zoren you count too :p

Thanks brother. Im all in for that.

Im the lone star beer over here. Lol

Lots of civic lovers in here.

You couldn't see me I was walking outside lol

Went to visit my family this weekend and before I left to go back, I got in touch with a good friend for a photoshoot. It rained unfortunately but the way these pictures came out, I will never regret it. BIG! thanks to him.

On a side note, I ordered the rear spats from Sin @ Aerojacket and should have them soon :happydance:

looks so perfect bro!!! :drool:

Those are GREAT SHOTS! Props to your photographer freind! Question for you.... did you buy your tires with white letters or is that some sort of paint on/ink add-on thing or something?

Thank you once again :icon17:
The white letters were painted on with a tire marker from duplicolor
