Twin Turbo with a Stillen Body Kit...
 
http://www.the370z.com/members/lafit...452-teaser.jpg

Just a lil teaser for now Im going to take a few pics when its all completed. Its taking a ton of trimming and fitting. Im repainting the entire car. Itll look like the kit came on it not a pieced together car. STAY TUNED.

looks good. not selling the car anymore?

LafitteZ 02-22-2013 07:55 PM

I had 5 people try to finance it. Failed everytime. I just took it as fate!!! Its supposed to be in my garage lol. Been a long time since I did something to it so I finally bit the bullet to install the stillen kit iv been having sitting in my spare bedroom. Going to get a cheap daily mabe a high mileage g35 or something.

Yea man I have a set of coils sitting in the shop. I like the height that its sitting now so im only going to level the rear with the front. Also selling my greddy tic turbo exaust. Im going with a completely custom true dual 3 inch exaust. Doing custom because I dont really like the fitment and it hangs to low under the car. New exaust will be ran as close as possible to the bottom of the diff for maximum clearance and also dual 3inch means faster spool and MOAR POWAAA

Thanks man Every bit of this car was carefully done to compliment each other. I did those couplers bout a year ago because I knew I was going to do that one day. I try to stay ahead of myself so I dont have to take steps backwards. so far so good.

That is, in my opinion, the sexiest 40th I've ever seen. That hood really looks good with the KAV and the dash of red in the headlights puts the cherry on top.

mwhit02 02-23-2013 09:59 AM

I hope you either clean up and polish that intercooler or put mesh in front of it. I can't tell if it looks dirty or rusty.

LafitteZ 02-23-2013 11:19 AM

It's dirty. Been sitting behind the oem bumper didn't really have a way to clean it easily. When we get done with all the sanding and paint etc etc it'll be cleaned. Naaa this car is going to be in the garage most of the time so it's not getting a grill. I want maximum airflow.

Thanks Garrett I try to hold it down for the 370s in a big pond of cars. Was at a muscle car show not to long ago and he has a lingenfelter supercharged c6 z06 and my car had a crowd just as large as his. Guy walked up and stood still looking at it. All of a sudden he says" I don't know what it is but f*** it looks good and fast". Won top 10 out of 300 old Skool and new Skool muscle cars. Very proud moment for me.

tjlazer 02-23-2013 11:43 AM

Looks sick! But damn, if I had a 40th I would not mod it like that. I would just install some swifts and call it a day. The 40th looks awesome stock.

I have been a little hesitant to do any body changes, but I always liked the Stillen fascia because it looked so damn mean. I imagine it's better to get a drop with spacers before getting it.

I hope you take this at flattery and not as some poser being unoriginal, because your hood, front fascia, and headlight mod is what I'm adding to my template to eventually get done. It's just perfect in my eyes.

Yea some are going to feel the same way you do. I felt that as long as I stayed with the color combo it still looks and feel like a 40th. Everyone that has seen it in person has given me props for keeping it look like a 40th. I brought it to znationals last year and people really really loved the car and acually respected me more for not butchering it up into something its not, Mad Mike on of the main american guys responsible for the creation of the 350 and 370z was there and he actually gave me a right hand drive 40th anniversary miniature car straight from japan for my efforts. I call that a win. All in all I definitely understand tho because I had to watch it being torn down and a couple times I really had to think about it before I did it. Thanks for the props tho man.

Garrett never man if you do modding to your car like I do I consider myself heading in the right direction. Keep me updated on your build.

Gift from "MAD MIKE" when I was at znationals. Mad mike is one of the creators of the 350 z. This is straight from japan. I was commended for what iv done to the 40th and to my effort to keep it still looking and feeling like a 40th inside and out.

Meeeee toooooo

LafitteZ 03-03-2013 10:40 AM

I think I'm gonna have to straighten up the intercooler. It's aggravating the crap out of me everytime I look at it.

LMBmikeZ 03-03-2013 02:01 PM

:iagree: I would straighten it up to, it would drive me crazy! I hate when things are not flush, lined up or level.......


looking good though LafitteZ
