:eek: $500 - wow that is cheap for a catback. I'm holding out to get the Fast Intentions kit though. I want those power gains.

I was going to also, but i'm not sure 3x the money is worth the possible 5-10 more HP. with the savings a tune can be done...

:icon18:

That red stitching came out great Tanooki!

Hahahaha, I see! :D

Tanooki- you've been very busy I see! :tup: that CF wrapped rear plug does look pretty. :D
Yah go for the FIntensions for sure!!!

:iagree:

Wow! Way to call your buddy out! I was going to say something untoward about it, but felt that I should be a little more tactful in case there was something behind the fear!

Well then, I hope you redlined the shyte outta your ride on the way to your destination while telling him to suck it up!:tup:

Great stuff

Washed and leaf blower/QD dried the Z today. Tomorrow I'll vacuum and wipe down the interior.

Need to purchase some other QD....Mothers sucks arse. Streak city.:ugh2:

:tup::tup::tup: noice job Tanooki

Nice job on the stitching and +2 on getting the Fast Intentions :tup:

Is yours otherwise stock with respect to intake and cats? What size resonators do you have? Last question: do you have any exterior clips of a drive by where your not pushing 5k rpm?

I have to ask: why is it that when everyone posts clips of a drive by or pull away they have to "launch" and scream by at 5k+ rpm? While that's nice to hear from time to time..it gets old..quick. I'm more interested in hearing an exhaust under normal driving conditions.

Ok, I'll get off my soapbox now.:ugh2:

I used Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Detail to remove some water spots that were being baked by the Texas sun. Nothing else to report...

Good call. I'm going to the store tomorrow to get this and tire shine.

Went to a mini car meet, and posed with Steve's (srbrubak) blue Z, then checked out some other cool cars including a Hennesey Camaro and a Kennebell blown SRT8.

eerrr... i must get DSLR. :D nice picts, G2Z! :tup:

nynhex- good job taking off spots. spots can potentially lead to paint etching. :icon14: so best to remove asap. :)

happytheman- i agree. not sure why they need to go down a 35mph road at 60mph+ to show off some fake exhaust...which doesnt even sound that good cause of the silencers the installer forgot to remove. :D hahaha yah, you know which clip im talking about. :p ;)

It probably doesn't help the first time he drove with me was on the way out to a ski/board trip and i had my truck sliding around with a cliff on one side and a rockface on the other. But the funny thing is he would rather i drive my old truck then my car, it will be funny when the engine swap is done in my old truck as it should be able to kill my Z, but i don't think he understands that yet. LOL

Thanks! :tiphat:

Thanks Kenchan. Yes I have been, and still SO MUCH I want to do. I'll post pictures of the b-pillars when they're done in that CF wrap. And for sure I'll get the FI CBE. A friend of mine has it here in Vegas. Sounds awesome. I wonder what difference the various sizes of resonators makes though... :confused:

got my 1000th post today.

Thanks Ken.... how long must I "tease" you???


Also, I now have 1213 miles on Zena.... WOOHOOOOOO.... I finally rev'd it to about 7k rpm last night. Still didn't get to redline yet, but I don't think I need to :)

Zena stays covered in the garage today.... strong storms in the area :icon14:

Tanooki- check out the DiNoc thread in the interior/exterior section. I posted quite a bit in there. :p

LOL. I will probably have one this summer. :p still juggling around my $ and which project to work on next with available time in consideration as well. :)

Yah, definitely keep zena at home if u know storm's coming. :tup:

I was up late last night and was rewarded with an obstruction free drive home. What a great car we all have here.

A guy complimented me on my 370 "zed". I said "Thanks, are you from Canada?" since I detected no accent.

His answer : "Top Gear". Can't complain he isn't speaking English. :icon17:

yah some white guy once said to me i speak good english. (im native in both languages).

i told him 'so do you.' :tup:

Ran into a bigger badder nismo. Twin turbo. As strong as he pulled away from me I WANT ONE.

Talked to a local vinyl installer about doing a full matte black wrap. Waiting on a quote (OUCH)

My car is finally getting lowered today. I decided to go with the Eibach Pro Kit since the Swifts are taking forever........

No kidding, I bought mine almost a month ago and I'm still waiting. These better be great springs!

:tup:

finalllllyyy got to drive it. felt so nice to be back in it. i tried to give it some revs on the long stretch of road before i turn into my office, but some idiot in a BMW X5 decides to slam on the brakes instead of going through a yellow light.

Question.... are you guys merely changing out the stock springs? then still plan to continue to use stock suspension?

Please post pics when done!

Tell me about it, Im at almost a 2 month wait on mine. At this point its a race to see who is slower getting me my parts, Forgestar or Swift. Wish I ordered this stuff during the winter when I wasnt driving it, stupid me.

Yup, pretty much stock otherwise.

I have 18" resonators...I got to drive behind my car which people rarely get to do, car sounded much quieter than I anticipated.

I am maybe doing a sound clip this weekend, I'll be sure to hit you up. I will say it sounds nice and tame with 18" resonators, amplifies the VQ and downshifting is where I feel the quality really shines

Yes just changing the stock springs. The Swift springs are designed around our stock suspension. Everyone loves em!!

KW V3s :tup:
:stirthepot:

Well of course, no denying that. I give Swift tons of credit even though I have yet to acquire and install mine (backorder). I have not heard any complaints about these springs. Rave reviews from everybody. Some say best bang per buck mod u can do. If your keeping your car strictly on the street & not the track there is no need for anything more IMO. Although I cant deny Id rather have some KWs :)

Got my Stillen 24r OC today! Whoop whoop! :happydance:

http://www.the370z.com/members/super...oc-finally.jpg

Now to figure out if I can install this bad boy myself. The instructions included are for a G which, no matter how similar the cars are, is a little unsettling for a newbie like myself. And I've seen a few really good DIY threads but they either install it in front of the steering cooler (I want it the other side) and/or they cut holes into a metal plate through which to pass the lines, but I don't want to do that if it's not necessary. Which it isn't - I know two guys in Vegas who have this kit and never cut anything.

So I need a driver's side install DIY with no cutting on this kit. Is there one I've missed?

:tup:

I made plans for this weekend to remove my spare tire ( should of done the day I bought it) and windshield washer resivor. All to remove some weight.

I'll post pics sometime this weekend...been doing quite a few things with the car this past month :tup:
