other mods ive done over this winter

fuji rear cf diffuser
led interior lights
door handles painted body color
manifold cover painted the silver body color
led rear fog light.

I know cesar is doing quite a few mods to his, Meulen is doing quite a bit to his 40th, and Sean has some cool things coming to his as well.

and if the gtm boys get their TT kits(long shot) we are going to have a lot of high HP Z's runnning around chicago this year!

as for you, again congrats on the house, cant wait to see what you replace them with as it has to be something really cool to let go of those grams!

Thats awesome! What are the estimated hp/tq numbers? Do you plan to have it installed by the beginning of the season?

Glad to see you're sticking with the Z. I thought you were, for sure, trading for a vette.

500hp 440ish torque? yes I plan to be ready for begining of spring.

It was very tempting to buy a vette, Stasek had a c6 grandsport brand new for 49 with 3k in instant cash, and i have a gm card and have 3k in gm dollars. could have got a 60k car for 43. but i pulled the cover off the z, and shes just beautiful. so now she has the power to go with the beauty

Good choice! Glad you're staying in the Z crowd. Definitely want a ride when it's tuned.

Many of you have been busy this winter can't wait to see all of the new mods

I only got a gtr start button lol

but I did buy a house so I get a pass right

February means spring is coming, I assume end of march - begining of April we can have a season opener. Jim suggested twin peaks, I think that works.

I just popped it out using panel removal tools. It takes a little force but it was pretty simple

Jim, thanks. Did you find it when placing the unit back in it laid flush and tight? I'm concerned about this as it would appear there is some type of adhesive holding the unit in place?

jlo370z · 02-07-2014, 11:10 AM

It's flush, picture in my build thread. Looks good

Thinking about getting a vanity plate, just not sure what to put on it. How many Chicago guys have vanity plates?

I do. I'm also thinking of changing it. I have Route 66 plates. More than likely going to stick with it, but change up my lettering.
