Default UPS guy brought more goodies

More trick parts to make the amazing Z even better.
A set of Pfadt Motor and Tranny mounts to keep the drivetrain from hopping around like it does when stock.
And a new set of Bilstein HD Shocks should be a great improvement over the stock shocks.







































Stock is just a starting point

I had them on my 02Z for a while just for street use. They lasted forever but seemed pretty lacking on grip.

Yes they are the Bstone Pole Position. I have used them on the track and like them alot better than the OEM Goodyears. Obviously nothing like a Hoosier, but for a RF street tire they aren't bad.

A local speed shop had it in stock. Just Google up Thermo Shield and you will find it available from a lot of different places.

Nice set up It looks like you playing it save for your car meaning having a lot of great mods, but running street tires like the Bridgestone. Post like this bring me to the edge of buying more "track mods" like the roll cage myself.
I also use the Bridgestone for track events and they not only last very long they also seem to get better the more they wear . Looking at your set up I will plan on buying the Billstein and brake hoses next.

Thanks for sharing!
