you just cant decide on what parts you want huh? lol

trust me i did the same for a little bit then just did some research and went all out on what i wanted.

Yeah having a hard time deciding. So many different directions I can go but I can't decide which one. I was set on ART pipes before but the price of the HFC used made a lot of sense as well. Headers would be sweet (if I could find a great deal on them) but I don't wanna go too too crazy with the Z. Just enough to get a bit more power and sound without worrying about things breaking. The more I think about it, the more I think I may move out of Allegheny county before I have to get emissions again so I may not have to worry a whole lot about switching but we'll see

i just fell in love with FI products so i knew then and just went and bought it all lol

Makes sense. Find a product and stick with it. I do that with certain things, but whenever I build things up it's never 100% one company, depending on what I want

well i did go and have my own custom parts made to match my FI products lol

those were also approved by Tony from FI too so big thumbs up there :tup:

now i'm struggling because someone is selling RS1 CF fenders and i want them but the gf would kill me ifi spent 1k on fenders.....then more for paint to do just the vented parts left as CF ugh that would look like pure sex.

:roflpuke2: if you had your own paint setup then you could tell her that it was a project for both of you to work on together.

i have a friend with a paint booth in his pop's garage. :stirthepot:

Those look sweet FP. Any significant weight savings? What about the width to fit a wider profile tire?

oh i'm dumb lol forgot what we were talking about.

i'm sure there is some weight savings but since its cleared CF and not raw CF its probably not much. now the fact that they are vented and pieces of the fender are missing then maybe a little weight savings there.

as for tire width i thing the fenders are EOM specs aside from the vented area.

How does he feel about doing touch up work or respraying a whole car?? I want to do either of the above

Well if they are OEM spec you can have some "random acts of vandalism" happen then be forced to buy new fenders

his dad rarely lets anyone in the garage so him doing work for others would be probably not an option lol

Damn. I'll make an appointment I guess haha.

But seriously we can arrange for some strange children to target Blue Z's in the area and only the fenders. I think I saw that news article a few weeks ago

nooooo i dont need to catch a murder charge right now for someone hurting my baby lol

:bowrofl:

:icon18:

It's not hurting her. Imagine that teenage girl who wants a new dress but her parents say that she has plenty of perfectly good clothing so she "accidentally" runs all of her whites with 1 red shirt.

You car is the teenage girl and the fenders are her perfectly acceptable clothes and your gf is the parents that say no

yes but i'm lookin at houses so fender are a low priority at the moment lol :bowrofl:

One day I'll grow up and look for a house... one day

yea i said that too and wasnt planning on it for awhile but things change i guess lol

That's exactly why I want to buy things like LTH or HFC but knowing that all that money is just spent doesn't make me feel right about it.

I think if I moved and had a different rent/daily driving situation it would be different, but as it stands I need to think and evaluate my priorities... damn I must be growing up...

yea well i was bying a GTR this coming spring now i'm buying a house. tell me about it :shakes head:

You two are hilarious and obviously neither married...hahaha! Get your toys locked down now is all I can say...it gets tougher sledding from here. ;)

why do you think i'm looking at houses in stead of gtrs? :stirthepot:

Doh! So the Mrs. said she is on board for an exhaust system if it has a Ferrari sound. I said I'll need to add six cylinders for that.

straight pipes on a VQ sounds better anyways :tup:

Lol! I set you up for that one. Seriously which setup would have a low, deep growl to it? I've listened to quite a few online and am drawn to the Berk sound, but would like to hear it in person too.

probably LTHs and the FI 12/18" res and SS cans would be pretty deep

Hmm. I'll have to check YouTube for that configuration. Thanks for the suggestion!

I figured that would be the case. I make the car a project for both of us so in all actuality me not buying parts means that I am taking away parts of the project. Thanks for talking some sense back into me

I think she's hinting that you have the green light to buy a ferrari.

You could be just like this (minus the viper)

That's my set up. :D

see i knew soemone had it lol

too bad you never come out for any of us to hear it :stirthepot:

:bowrofl:

Still patiently waiting to hear your set up :roflpuke2:

well i'm lazy and my work schedule hasnt allowed me to make it to get my car inspected yet. however i think i'm just leaving it with the guy who does it tonight and driving a back up car tomorrow so its done. then the mufflers come back off lol

Haha just giving you a hard time. Sounds like a solid plan. You're working a bunch of OT this week aren't you??

yuppppppppp.

4 -10's and friday i get to just do a regular 8. then may go do some 1/4 mile runs.

8 hours of OT. Not bad. Do you get time and a half for that??

yes i do :tup:
