Does anyone know where to go locally to get a roll bar fabbed up?

Tigger 10-29-2013 11:35 AM

good question. I know of a speed shop that specializes in European cars. They do lots of custom work. I'll see if I can find the name of the place and a number. It'll be a hot minute. Don't hold your breathe.

No rush. Trying to save some money right now anyways.

I have a huge list of things I need to do to my car over winter though.

Twin Turbo, Cup kit, Coils, Headlight mod?

wheels, lsd, springs/shocks, minor body stuff, lights. But only IF the government figures out a budget. Cuz you can't ball on a budget.

:icon18: we in the same boat...

Onelownismo 10-29-2013 07:56 PM

Government paycheck crew checking in. :ugh2:

My list is as follows:

Race Seat(s)
Harnesses
Roll bar/harness bar
CJM Fuel Starvation Control kit (although I think I missed the boat on that one)
Carbotech xp10/xp8 brake pads
Potentially new coil overs but I doubt it

a better LSD would be lovely also but that's not high on the priority list

Onelownismo 10-29-2013 07:57 PM

Oh and brake ducts.....

I got the Stillen brake duct kit on my Z.

Check out my StopTech install thread for pics.
StopTech 4P Front & Rear BBK Install


My winter (when I get home) list.
As it stands right now;

Performance:
Tein Flex Coilovers (already have them just not installed yet)
Tein EDFC Active (just for fun!)
Quaife Diff
Nismo Brace Kit.

Visual:
More than a few parts have a date with ONEighty.

Damn all thought sound like good ideas. I have most of that stuff on my wish list at Z1 along with about 15 other things. And since I'm going to try to do most of the work myself the bench marks are going to be a SC kit and rims. Most of everything else is going to be little at a time. And I don't think I'm going to do much aesthetics. Maybe some black accents here and there but nothing that will break the bank.

At least you already have one... kinda. I'm a little sick of the open-diff. An open -diff should have never even been considered in a car with 330+ motor. A VLSD should have been standard. Or better. But at least a standard. Oh well. At least I'll get what I want installed (OS Giken, anyone?) without having to do any mods to make it work. Kinda why I bought the base model to begin with. Clean slate.

You're brake setup is beautiful. Someday I may step up to a BBK but oem with the Z1 upgrade kit seems to be doing the job so far.

I'm guessing you track the car?

Voice59 10-30-2013 06:13 AM

For my wish list:

Phantom Cup kit (especially if I stay in VA)
TWM Short Shifter (possibly...doing research on cons)
Minor interior carbon fiber accents
GTR Plenum (if it proves to provide significant gains)
Sway bars (maybe)

and then I think I can call my build done...and move on to the Stingray (fingers crossed).

Tigger 10-30-2013 06:26 AM

I drove a 370 with a short shifter. I usually like them. But I always kept shifting into second when I wanted fourth or I'd miss gears altogether and never get into one. It was a little irritating. On the z I think the normal shifter is just fine. But that's just my opinion.
