simota1 04-17-2013 06:40 AM

thanks guys.... :D im installing my twm... but due to my hydrolic jack failing :( ill have to continue tomoro.... all i can say is its a good thing i noticed the oil as seeping out of the jack and it was losing pressure before it just releases all the pressure and slamming my z on the floor with the body of the jack crushing my front diffuser :shakes head: not to mention my head was under there because i was checking the clearance and trying to put the jack stands.... crazy....

KaienZ34 04-17-2013 06:53 AM

Damn man be careful.

dude im pretty sure im going with the evo-rs because of the base being nicer.... but a part of me feels like im betraying jdm lol :roflpuke2: i still have 2 weeks to decide.... once i sell my oem ones with the cf covers ill order the final decision and for the love of god i hope my titan cans arrive by then... so i can get the stupid titan bar from top secret :shakes head: jez do they take long :(

iceman21_23 04-17-2013 09:05 AM

just know with the evo-r's, Simota, that you must reuse the gasket that the stock mirror has or else it will not look right. It is really simple and not even an issue, just thought you'd like to know.

/Angelo350Z/ 04-17-2013 09:22 AM

Sup brotha? I think I saw you on Route 1 last week on the opposite lane. Z's looking good.

simota1 04-18-2013 02:59 PM

i finished the twm install.... id like to thank galeforce for his complete right up... i would have died if he didnt do a step by step :).... that dust boot under the shifter under our cars is a demon.. galeforce was definitely right about it being a pain to put back :shakes head: took about 10 secs to take off.... took me an HOUR to put back.... i felt like just ripping it lol.... the shifts feel a hell of alot better not to mention i love how low my shifter sits now :) :stirthepot:

LMBmikeZ 04-18-2013 04:29 PM
