That's a productive day!

Did you install the kickplates and the EvoR light yourself? I just got these parts and was just thinking of having someone install for me.

I installed them myself. Very easy to do, don't pay anyone to do it. I looked at the DIY and it really took me less than 2 hrs to install the kickplates, light, and dynamat.

They are the 18" resonators. Stock cats for now, still undecided if I will go hfc.

Even with Swift drop, I don't foresee any clearance issues. The black front lip and air dams scrape all the time but the exhaust doesn't even though it looks scary in pics. These are the 2nd gen of the F.I. so they are raised slightly compared to the 1st gen.

Sounds great! Would like to hear some casual drive by footage though when you get a chance! It seems that everyone posting drive by clips of their exhausts do so at 6k+ RPMs. Since I personally don't spend the majority of my time at 6k+ RPMs, it would be nice to hear some real world representation!

I'm just sayin'!

Once my AAM axle back gets here, I plan on doing a before and after video with cruising at 25, 45, and 70. You hardly ever see video of people cruising, it's alway WOT or sitting there revving.

haha yeah, got some blood on the dynamat!

martin82 · 11-26-2011, 08:02 PM

forgot to mention I installed the aluminum pedal clutch and brake into my base/sport. Need to order the accelerator.

I haven't really driven my car much this week but I was able to do a major service on Wednesday at Corner 3 Garage

I had an oil/filter change, diff, coolant, and transmission fluid change so my Z is driving perfectly!

I also picked up a set of these

I always go Mobil 1 for oil/filter, the remaining were all OEM replacements.

Drove around a bit today with some forum members here (Vapiano & b1adesofchaos) to have my Fast Intentions CBE installed as well as a new mid-pipe for Vapiano's GT-R.

More pics of his GT-R can be found here:
