motoextreme · 12-23-2009, 07:22 PM

Thankfully its come back over 2009 but 2010 is going to be ROUGH!

Going to start selling things I don't need. Anyone need a Glock, never used? Whoops, probably can't sell Weapons on a site huh?

I think you can sell anything, Moto, just make a new thread here:
Non Z parts - Misc Items for sale (No Z stuff) - Nissan 370Z Forum
Z parts - Parts for sale (Private Classifieds) - Nissan 370Z Forum

motoextreme · 12-23-2009, 08:09 PM

Oh yeah..forgot about that Non Z section, bought my daugters Ipod from there. Thank you

SeeyaBud86 · 12-23-2009, 09:06 PM

I'm really excited to see how your car turns out. I tried telling my mom that I wanted to paint my car flat black and she goes,"I don't like the matte colors because they don't look like they're finished completely..." I told her it must be a woman thing. Goodluck

motoextreme · 12-23-2009, 09:13 PM

My wife questioned my reasoning as well, especially on a new car but after seeing them at the show she changed her mind.

Thanks man, I feel like a kid getting his first car. Pretty damn excited to see it all done.

You and at least half the forum! Gonna be sick!

motoextreme · 12-23-2009, 09:54 PM

First, pictures are not so great, my iPHONE is dying so look past that.

Two, Tires are dirty, came from the paint shop.

Now the good news! Rims are MUCH darker then they appear in the pictures which is great news!!! I wasnt sure about the Bronze but this is perfect.

Now that everything is so dark I feel I may of made a mistake with Black Brembo's but oh well. Could of pulled off red with how dark these are. Oh well, who gives a sh#$, Function over Form...

These wheels feel LIGHT!!

Its coming together

:happy dance:

Paint the Brembos red, no biggie.

I just went with 19's, 20's are a bit too much for me and I wanted to make sure they had enough rubber.

Here's the specs:
19x9.5 +22 and 19x10.5 +12

Pure Sex!

RCZ · 12-24-2009, 12:08 PM

Damn Moto, good choice in wheels and wheel color. Your car is going to turn out awesome. Try not to mish mash too many colors though, get a theme and run with it... matte black/carbon/red in the headlights/bronze/black brakes and TI lugnuts. (if I remember correctly) sounds like it might clash a bit.

Either way, good luck and happy holidays!

motoextreme · 12-24-2009, 12:12 PM

I'm with you...Red is out other then the LED's which I'll never use anyway but for screwing around.

Flat Black, some gloss black, Bronze wheels, black brakes. Keeping it simple and stealth.

Going down to the paint shop as soon as I lock the building down for the holidays.

As always, thanks for the advice, I get a little crazy at times

BLUESLATE · 12-24-2009, 01:25 PM

Sick wheels you got there. I really like the fact that you gave your Z a set proper light weight wheels instead of going all show no go.

When will your car be done??? I can't wait to see!!

motoextreme · 12-24-2009, 01:37 PM

Probably a week or so..

Thanks man. I'm kind of wishing I didnt put all the Audio crap in it now but at the same time I like the system. May need to figure that back out once the car is done, wasn't really planning on setting it up for the track but I suppose I could just add a quick release to pull it out on track day

Looks like you have quite a few mods going yourself, any pics of it on the Forum?
