Default Not the Z, its away at Z1 getting the rear gears fixed.

I only have the car on a two year lease, so mods are going to be minimal and resellable. I go through cars quickly.



It wasn't an easy round of mods.

First, I ordered a two tone wheel from Tire Rack, same wheel as what I went with, but with their recommended 255 tires. The tires were narrower than the wheel and didn't look right, and I didn't like the two tone. Sent them back and reordered these.



2nd, one of the front Brembo brakes that I ordered from the dealer was apparently dropped in shipment and the hole that the banjo bolt goes in was flattened out, so I had to get a replacement. I noticed this after I had the brakes stripped off the car, so it added two days to the process.



In the end, I think it was worth it.



First round,

Brembo front caliper upgrade, custom powdercoated by me (I do this professionally, don't try at home!).

Sport Muscle 20x10" wheels

Sumitomo 275/35-20 tires

BMR Panhard bar

H&R springs.



the only other thing I'm going to do to it is Corsa axle-back.[/img]
