There was no particular reason I spec'd that one, it was just part of the price match quote I was lucky enough to get.

They use cheap Chinese parts with no quality control, so stories like this one are far too common. I wouldn't risk it IMO

Put another 250 miles on Z. On the way home, I passed three cops at 90 mph

85 mph speed limit though, so they didn't even bat an eye

90 in CA gets u atrip to the Pokey, do not pass GO..

Here in 'fly-over country' (Kansas) it was $185.... but then again he had me at about 100 in a 75...

But wrote me for 'basic speed'

I feel like someone needs to be doing a BMX or skateboard trick over it. Got some BTS footage in via snapchat at least. Mike-GZ

Mine got washed the night before...

Today a quick polish with some V38, then some Chemical Guys Celeste on it. 50/50 is good, but Celeste = even better!!

Now that it settled in, it's not nearly as loud. Still a great sound! After it runs for a bit and sits at idle. It's whisper quite which is a good and bad thing ahaha.

I really feel the car needs coilovers next. No more wheel wobble from the spacers. So maybe do another run with ya soon!

Wheels3309 · 06-01-2016, 07:29 PM

Glad to hear! Definitely on the run... Been scoping some good routes from the motorcycle forums lol. Also just recently discovered 3-4 cars & coffee events in the area that look promising

Came home after work and the last piece of my Nismo bracing was sitting at the door. Shout out to Eric for hooking me up. Now to find the time to put everything on. This is the lower rear brace.

I drilled some holes in the bumper last night and added eagle fog lights, wiring took forever. Soldered each piece and had to solder behind the wheel well, which took me a bit longer with little space to work with. It was my first time messing with wiring!

^^^
was in the middle of soldering! connections are much more solid that what it looks like in the pic, and wrapped well too~

^^^
lights look a little different in color, but I assure you they are not!
at an angle they look yellow, similar to a demon eye effect

fast forward a couple days, photoshoot with Varrstoen was today! turned out great, photos are being processed now, I'm repping their es9 wheels
sneak peak!
