^^Those would look great....:tup:

I plan to get those in Gun Metal!

Beautiful! I really think the monoblock Volk's like CE28, RE30 and TE37 are going to look the hottness!

+2345

first mod is HFC's best bang for the buck mod out there.

Tires and Exhaust and call it a day......done done done.......Hope the car will be competitive in Solo II whereever stock class it falls in.

Otherwise, I think I have to get the s2000 CR......

I might be wrong but I've always understood it (a roll cage) as a necessity if you were planning on using racing seats with racing harnesses. The reason I was given was that factory cars will definitely deform in the case of a serious roll over accident, in which case a seat belt will keep you from flying out of the car but also allow you some play to avoid being completely crushed in the cabin. If your car rolls over and your roof collapses.... you aren't moving an inch with a 4 point harness, and your neck/head/spine could be severely injured.
So it seems like it would be better to run stock safety restraints until/unless you install a roll cage, in which case a racing harness would definitely be safer.

I'm not trying to tell you what to do or anything, I'm just sharing information that I have been told so that you might be aware of any possible dangers. If I'm mistaken, feel free to correct me.

^^^^^ that makes sense

Dang....what rim is that, and does it come with gold??

Volk CE28, it can be ordered in gold.

You're right, it's impractical to build your own homebrew coilover set unless you're buds with Truechoice et al. That said, all too often there is crap splattered on the market that hurts performance in the name of subjective "I got those, yo" modders. I love a good stance and a sexy exhaust note, but it must have quantifiable gains for it to be truly an upgrade. Like you said, the better suspension companies actually do their homework with good wisdom. I'll still want to know what I'm getting myself into, regardless! :icon18:

At the moment, I just look forward to my first test drive of the new Z! :driving:

Well, there is some truth to your statement in theory. However...do you really think the type of seatbelt you are wearing will really affect the effects of the roof of your car collapsing on your head? You still have the seat underneath you and you will get crushed anyway.

The fact of the matter is that a harness is infinitely more effective at keeping you safe in the other 99.99% of accidents. It will hold you in tighter while driving also, which not only feels better, but allows you to "Feel" the car underneath you much better as you are not bouncing around.

If you want to look at it another way, if you roll over, the harness will keep you in your seat, away from the roof. While you may slide up with a regular belt.

Bottom line is don't crash.

Suspension components and wheels will probably be my first.

i will probably drive for a while stock to sort out what needs to be improved with the suspension. maybe coilovers or sways first. or if the overheating problem is really that bad, them maybe an oil cooler
