Hi guys! another little update on my thread :p last Saturday I go to my muffler shop to install the Top Speed Test Pipes. I have to say... Damn im in love with the new exhaust sound and how the cars feels :excited: is just perfect! I know is not a big power mod but the difference feels... here is little video that I take :) For those who wants to know my exhaust mods is just the custom Magnaflow Axle back with the Top Speed Test Pipes.... the rest of the exhaust system is the OEM... I have to add that for the moment the car still with no check engine light on :tup:

The installation

sweet build! Do you rub with those zedd wheels? Im looking into getting a set with 305s in the rear. Let me know!

Thanks! :tup:

No rubs my friend... so you can go ahead :tup: maybe with the 305 tires you have to run more camber but nothing too aggressive. My front tires rub sometimes in the highway in hard bumps but is for the sizes of the tire that is 245/40 if the tire was 35 im sure that they are not going to rub. For me... I think im going to stay with the 245/40 cause the streets over here are very fckt up :shakes head:

I love the look of your car Carlitos, keep up the good work.

That truck in the background of your one photo, looks very interesting. Do you have anymore pics or details of it?

Thanks brother I really appreciated your comments :tup: I hope someday make my Z looks and run like yours hahahhaa!!!

Well the only thing that I know about the truck is that is a Jeep Cherokee with huge tires and suspension setup and that damn truck its Turbo :eekdance: next time when I go to the muffler shop I ask more details about it ;)

You know, In P.R. they put a turbo on anything. If my grandma would be alive today, even her coffee maker would have a turbo attached to it.
Nice build by the way!.

Car sounds great bro! Cant wait to meet up and hear it in person. :tup:

hahaha!!! soo true my friend! BTW Thanks :)
Thanks bro! we have to make something soon :tup:

Yes! Just not this weekend since im out of town... Birthday weekend :happydance:

hahahha! No problem bro! :tup:

BTW Happy Birthday ;)

Hola Carlitos! I looking for a lip just like the one u got. I check this ebay seller but did no see any lip that would fit a 2014 model.

Chico, Tu sabe si lo vende para el modelo y año de mi carro, asi igualito como el tuyo?

Gracias por adelantao y tu carro te ha quedao perfecto.

No vayas a desperta a los coquis con tu muffler... jejeje

:tiphat:

Any friend of Mr Carl's is a friend of Clifford....:iagree:

Happy Birthday :tup:

-Clifford

Saludos mi amigo! Gracias por los comments :tup:

con relacion al lip de mi carro... pues compre el que venden para el 370z 09-12 y lo lleve a un paintshop de un amigo mio y lo modifico para nuestros front bumpers 13+ 370z. Aun no hay nadie vendiendo ese lip para nuestros carritos aparte de Carbon Signal y Varis. Entiendo que son las unicas compañias que hasta el momento tienen front lips disponibles para los 2013+ Z. A menos que decidas irte por la ruta que me fui yo de modificar un lip para nuestros bumpers! Yo estaba pensando vender mi front lip para montar el front bumper Amuse pero aun lo estoy pensando jeje!

Cualqueir pregunta me dejas saber ok!

Saludos!

BTW ya los coquies estan curado de espanto loooool:bowrofl:

My brother Cliff I hope you be ok buddy! God Bless you and your Family :tup:

Thanks cliff! :tiphat:

Gracias Carlitos. Si lo vendes me dejas saber.

Cuenta con eso my friend :tup:

Hi guys! here is a photoshop that my friend cooltoy did to my wheels... thinking on do it soon:stirthepot:

https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7621/...3b4b9c06_c.jpgrzwep1wo by carlitos_370z, on Flickr

The blood red looks awesome. Put the red strip back on the lip too and it would look great :vuvuzela:

Hahahhaa Thanks bro! I think I will do that again too later:tup:

looks awesome. love the color of the wheels. I'd only mention that to me I'd either color match or eliminate the red mirrors.

PS I love the red mirrors I just think the two different reds clash.

:iagree: Thats the reason that if I do it im going to do it first on plasti dip with glossifier... Then if I liked im going to do it in the same red as the mirros/calipers ;)

Thanks for the comments dude :tup:

Carlitos, nice pics. It almost made me "nostalgic" since I'm from Ponce. I guess the Z crowd in PR is strong.

Now this Saturday im going to install those babys and give to my Z a good wash and some wax to make it look like new! well they still look like new hahaha but you guys know what i mean :p

BTW on the rear im going to install a 15mm hub centric spacer cause the rear wheels offset suppose to come in +12 and they arrive in +22 cause the dealer in USA dont have it in that offset (+12) and if i want them in +12 i have to wait another 5-6 weeks in a special order from Japan... So I said forget about it give me the wheels and order those spacers :tup:... the Shop here in PR are going to provide me the rear spacers for free to resolve me the issue.

I forget to post pics of the tires hahaha!!! here are..

Kumho Ecsta LE Sport KU-39
255/40/18 Front
285/35/18 Rear
