Seraphix' build thread
 

Thought I'd share parts of the journey with the Z fam. This is my first Z coming from a G, I'm loving everything about this car. Bought the car in May of this year, since moding is a never ending hobby documenting it seemed right.

Car as I purchased it, loved the Magama color from the first second I saw it

Just had it tuned a few weeks ago and the car put down 317rwhp and 257tq on an 80 degree day with 60% humidity, we were at 291rwhp and 241tq before the tune. Power is more balanced now, and it pulls all the way to red line. Ordering the Type M aerojacket add on wing next week in CF and doing the headlight housing in gunmetal, with bronze shrouds and magma accents, along with STI-R lenses. Got a few questions about the bumper and wether the bumper support had to be taken out. We just put a few screws through the radiator support there's a support portion on the Amuse bumper that is secured that way. Only thing that was taken off was the fender brackets which is no big deal. Z/G community is the best by far that I have ever seen, and hope to share more with you guys as the build continues. Thanks for looking

Looks good keep it up.

Very tastefully done sir. Keep going.

Very tasteful...stop there on the exterior!!! It is hot and complete!

Great looking Z! :tup:

Beautiful car and some impressive numbers. I tried looking for a solid red or magma red,but nothing popped up in a manual. Keep it going man and don't stop with those great pictures either!

Thanks! For the outside just going to add some CF touches to keep with the theme. Interior is next

Thanks man, I appreciate it

Looks great, transformation was very cool!

I have a 14 6mt Magma red as well, wish i could mod my exterior... I'm to afraid of hitting a moose and wasting all the time and money haha, maybe next year when i move to california ill mod

Sexy *** Z brother! Love what you've done with that magma red

Lol I hear ya man, I don't know if I would drive the Z in the snow honestly. I'd probably have another car for the winters... Then again your in Alaska im sure you guys see snow most months. I know when I lived in Montreal and had I owned the Z, I would of never taken her out lol. She would of came out 2 months out of the year.


:tup: thanks bro

Surprisingly it doesn't do to bad, i threw some 235/50/18 Cooper WSC studded tires on it and i go anywhere i need to go. the occasional spin at a stop light but no problems

Very nice work:tup:

Here's a vid of my exhaust set up waking the neighbors lol. Motordyne exhaust paired with FI long tubes and Stillen gen3's

Sounds great man! i just threw some AAM Short tails on last night, the sound those give the car is how the car should've came from the stealer-ship

My friend had the short tails they do sounds good man, congrats. Gives a nice subtle growl

Would you have a drive-by video by chance? Thinking about going this route too! Sounds mean in that 15 sec clip!

Ya man here's a quick drive by right after the headers install and a vid while getting a tune on the dyno. It is loud though if you are planning to go this route, just a heads up.

Looks awesome bro! Love with the magma red. This is pretty much my set up once I pick up my solid red nismo this weekend. Keep it up brotha!

Thanks man, and congrats on the Nismo, great pick up.

awesome work bro!!! looks really good :tup:

Had a busy weekend with the Z, we did a gloss black roof wrap, as well as CF aerojacket type M wing, and CF door handles. Also one of my favorite parts of the build the headlights. Ironman colors :D were officially ready for show season

Thanks man, you got one of my favorite builds on here 2.


Appreciate it brother

we almost have twins bro (your car and mine) loooool!!! just need the Amuse front bumper... but the damn shipping :shakes head:

What exhaust do u have?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Your right lol we do twin, I like your custom lip though, everything flows well together. And the color theme you got going is ridiculous.




It's Motordyne

Man so glad you chose to take the black a pillars off :)

Looking good! Keep up the good work!

Loll you picked that up fast. It attracted to much attention to the pillar. Was an eye sore. Thanks man

Thanks bro!!:tup:

An update of the build. Went with a 3m 1080 satin white pearl wrap a few weeks ago. Always wanted to do a CF and white theme. Love the 3m white, almost changes colors in different lighting while maintaining the satin look.

So this picture about made my eyes jump out of my head. :eek: WOW! That's a fantastic Picture!!

I dont know how much is the price over there to wrap a complete car but here in PR cost almost cost the same as send the car to make a full paint :shakes head: thats the reason that im still with out doit

Early morning cruise to a meet. The sky seemed to cooperate. Thanks man

That grey is sexy, was looking at a few grey's before pulling the trigger on the satin Pearl. Price here is from 2700 to 3k, but I bought the vinyl and me and my friend knocked it out in a weekend. He has experience with vinyl though. Would of never done it unless I had someone who knew the theory behind it at least. But once you get the hang of manipulating the vinyl and squeegeeing, it's pretty straight forward bro.

damn if i just only live near from you hahaha!! well lets see if i save some money and send my Z to made a full wrap someday... but for now that is far away lool!
