Default New Z

Finally got something besides crappy cell phone pics


Well I guess Its time to post up a few pics of my Z I bought back in March
It has a pretty extensive list of mods so far and its not done yet


So far it has a Haltech intake, Lg super pro long tube headers with catless x pipe with air tubes deleted, McLeod RXT twin disk, RPM level V transmission, Pfadt solid motor mounts, Pfadt trans brace, Pfadt coil overs, Pfadt Heavy rate rear sway bar, Corbeau A4 seats,MGW sifter, pioneer double din radio, Sun guns, led tail lights with halo mod, and adjure reverse lights.
Im also running a square setup at the moment with 295's up front and 305's in the rear.










Reverse lights

Ive just been busy, the things that were on the car that I didnt mess with or change were the trans, clutch, intake and rear sway bar. I still dont think I have taken any proper pictures of the car yet I just took these real quick with my phone to show my friends the headlights that I installed last night.

Yep, I didnt waste much time getting them installed. They did take a little bit longer just because the adjustments on the headlight buckets were stuck and I had to free them up which took a while. And then I had that problem with the polarity. Now I just need to get clear corners to finish off the exterior lighting for now, not sure if Ill do that or get a cam and intake to go with my heads first.

Yea if I leave it with the square setup Ill have to bring it down some but I think Im going to go back to a 17 18 setup for the at least until I need new tires since it does get driven in the rain and the nitto 555r's are a little scary when it get wet out. And with the 17's up front its pretty even all around even though its a little higher than I would like I dont want to loose but so much travel for my shocks.

Looks great. Nice job on the headlights
When you go back to the stock 17/18 sizes, the Nitto 555 Extremes are a good choice and perform well in the rain.
