ilive2win's 370z project
 

sold!

well, i sold my evo x the morning of 8/18/09 and went ahead to the nissan dealership and picked up a MB 370z the afternoon of 8/18/09. stock for stock, the 370z felt a lot smoother and a little more powerfull than the evo, but the evo was built, so anything feels sluggish after getting into it. i do love the 370z and how it feels and is much sexier than the evo x imo.
well in this thread im going to post everything and anything i do to the 370z as i did with the evo in other forums. ill start by posting some evo x pix first...

sorry for the bad pix, i took them really fast after i picker her up and did a 10 min edit job to make them look descent.

today 8/21/09 i took the headlights apart and totally blacked them out like my old evo so ill take some pix in the morning and post them asap :stirthepot:

little teaser...

again...some really quick photos but at least you get the idea. it was hard to not get glare on the headlights, but these will have to do for now. i didnt want to do anything fancy like led's or extra lighting cuz im going to lighten the car for tracking, just going for an evil look. and sorry for the car being dirty,it just rained here and havent washed her yet. criticism and remarks welcome

so i finally got a call from k&N this morning telling me that the typhoon short ram intakes for the 370z are done and ready to be installed so i took the beast up to riverside and had the intakes installed. she didnt give the the hp or tq gains yet as this kit isnt out yet and i guess they dont want to spoil the surprise. you can def feel a little power gain and sounds great, specially with the hks exhaust. not sure when these will be available to the public yet

both cars are clean. did you get yours at the poway mossy nissan?

Congrats on the buy!!!



DAN

thanx!... yup, i got it at poway, was it yours???

I Originally wanted a EVO. What made u decide 2 get rid of a tuned EVO and get a 370z instead?

Looking great! Great Photos! What camera did you use? Nice post processing too.

Looking forward to seeing how the blacked headlights look on MB Z.

Congrats, nice choice!

That was one sexy Evo. Good trade IMO

Yeah, great, sure - so when you getting the chicky in your avatar to pose on it?

Congrats, welcome to the darkside.

i just got bored with the evo and was tired of dealing with the turbo and lag and "hope i dont over boost one day and not enough the other", she was a pain in the a$$. fast car though.

and the chicky will be taking some pix with the new car as soon as she finds the perfect outfit i guess, according to her.

i use a canon xsi on Tv setting, not the greatest pix like i said before, they were just quick shots, i didnt bring any of my equipment

no but i had been looking at it and it was nice and was priced very nicely i would say.

^^^ i would have to agree, thats one reason why i picked her up

Congrats! Great color IMHO. I'll enjoy watching what you do to your new Z.

How did you black out those head lights?
