Need to order:
EVO-R Side Blades

... and many more!

Ordered FRP 3 piece front lip and ABS side blades from EVO-R. Anyone else using the ABS version instead of the FRP? Any trouble with ABS?

Got the Z1 tubes installed from speedfreek and more from Z1.

Trying out some new wheels/tires

Quick note about the tires:

Not sure the continental's are made for aggressive driving. I notice way more roll than the V12's. The V12's were precise and reacted very quickly. The continental's are very quite and comfortable and seem to stick very well though... 305/30/19 on the rear helps with that. lol

You could wiggle the steering wheel back and forth and feel every little movement with the V12's on, but you almost feel nothing with these new continental's.

Once you're into the corner though, it feels like your stuck well on the road and have more control and have the ability to corner at higher speeds.

275/35/19 up front on a 19x9.5, 305/30/19 on the rear on a 19x10.5.

Swift Springs, SPC bolts, and SPL Cabmer links installed at SoulSpeed Performance. Amazing shop! If you live in or around Austin, I highly recommend these guys. https://www.facebook.com/soulspeed

Custom center caps
 

How do these look? Ugly?

Didn't care for the silver looking center caps, so did something a little different. Thought I'd give props to Nissan while I was at it... :happydance:

Nice ! Clean z

FI CBE done!
 

My FI CBE came in 11/14/2014 so took a trip down to SoulSpeed Performance here in Austin for the install. Collin at SoulSpeed let me ship the exhaust directly to him, so all I had to do was show up with money! :excited:

Specs on the CBE - Fast Intentions, Stainless finish, 18" resonators.

Sound was a lot louder then I expected, but damn it sounds good. The drone (noise inside) is very noticeable under acceleration around 2k-3k rpm. I might end up putting some sound-proofing in the trunk at some point in hopes it will help with cab noise... but I really don't want to add any weight back. :shakes head:
