You went from lewd to refined in a very short time.

100X better and worthy of the Z.

Brake caliper paint is cheap :stirthepot:

anway, im prob going to call you in the near future, about installing some springs/alignment

GZ3 06-28-2011 10:44 AM

one of my fav Z's on this site...

what color are you headlights? what K? i think a nice 8k would really set that black and purple off IMO

GetYourWheels 06-28-2011 02:18 PM

Econ looks fantastic! Get that thing dropped :)

Just to clear some things up.. These wheels are Hubcentric and require no spacers.

19x9.5 +20 19x11 +18

Econ 06-28-2011 02:45 PM

tocks-eek,

i can has your springs?!

toxik 06-28-2011 02:56 PM

maybeee, it would be an easy swap other than that we'd both need an alignment after :\ jus gotta swap the struts, no need to swap the actual springs.

Econ 06-28-2011 03:05 PM

i wish modding was free.

TongMan 06-28-2011 05:32 PM

Better than the black and ghetto crap you had before. Lower it, your car looks like its a 4x4 still.

gotchu99 06-28-2011 06:13 PM

Hey Econ, nice choice. I have the same rims and tires in silver. Are your 305's setting off the VDC WOT at 4500 rpms in 3rd gear like they are with my car? I'm not slipping, and it only does this in 3rd at 4500. Pretty annoying, I may have to ride with it off for now on. Please excuse the crappy cell phone pics.

lol I keep hearing this from Cali peeps. It's such a silly statement. True, dropped cars look sexier. But there's absolutely nothing wrong with the stock ride height. People are just so eager to justify whatever mods they put on their own rides. :roflpuke2:

TongMan 06-28-2011 06:33 PM

Cali is hella ghetto that's why.

It's hilarious to me. New cars are made with higher springs by default, but with room to drop, because they know people with more money than brains will spend big bucks to drop their cars. You're all suckers.

I eventually plan to drop :roflpuke2::roflpuke2::roflpuke2:

Real reason for the height increase is govt regulations :(

Econ 06-29-2011 10:13 AM

toxik 06-29-2011 10:17 AM

TonyBPD 06-29-2011 10:33 AM

Yeah, a black smooth car like yours with say some 8k rolling at night would look sick!:tup:

AlphaSnacks 06-29-2011 02:58 PM

Soooo redic.

That's pretty much how my car looks with the drop now. Haha

Econ 06-29-2011 03:14 PM

that does look nuts.

seriously, this forum is the worst thing that has happened to me.

i had cash prior to joining this money pit.

b1adesofcha0s 06-29-2011 03:17 PM

I just spent almost all of my first two paychecks from my internship on my exhaust (which I actually bought before I got them) :icon17:

Econ 06-29-2011 03:20 PM

haha i have spent all of my first 6 months salary on my car....

b1adesofcha0s 06-29-2011 03:41 PM

Ok, you win :icon17:

Econ 06-29-2011 03:44 PM

no. i lose. haha

b1adesofcha0s 06-29-2011 03:49 PM

Econ 06-29-2011 04:08 PM

GetYourWheels 06-29-2011 04:21 PM

We all do it don't worry :)

toxik 06-29-2011 04:25 PM

Econ 06-29-2011 04:28 PM

Flushnismo 06-29-2011 04:41 PM

Lol I have a full time job and make min wage.. and I go to school. 85% of my money goes to my car :shakes head: .... :tup: totally worth it

Econ 06-29-2011 04:55 PM
