GOD DAMN thats beautiful... i got goosebumps.... thats how sick this **** is man

Mr&Mrs · 11-09-2012, 05:25 PM

Well my day sucked royal donkey balls! The only good thing is I didn't have to pay out any money for what did get accomplished which wasn't really jack. I will start off saying I would kill for a shop in my area that had half a brain and respected peoples property.

I went to the exhaust shop first thing this morning which was a nightmare because the front of the car was barely two inches off of the ground. I did end up making a little mark on the driver side of the lip in process. They said it would be two hours before they could get me in and referred me to a suspension/alignment shop to fix my height issues. Well they turned me away and sent me to another shop.

So they tell me it is going to be all day....great so much for fixing the exhaust. I show up 2 hours to them closing and they have not figured out how to adjust the height yet! So I jump in and help the guy figure it out. Then they try saying come back tomorrow. NOPE I told them I no longer leave my cars anywhere due to bad deals. Long story short they finished the height adjustments, and didn't charge me anything.

When I got home a little bit ago I noticed the oil seep I found yesterday has now turned into a decent leak. One of the stupid heat deflectors I put in so the exhaust heat wouldn't melt my paint popped off on one side and scratched under my bumper a little. I was just super stressed all day about this and im completely worn out.

Anyway im done venting that is just a blip of the BS I went thru today. I wish Z1 or Baker would expand into the Brandon/Tampa area, they would be swamped with business!

On a side note they sure look sexy together dont they?

Also thanks everyone for the positive feedback!

I am so sorry you had to deal wit that on your day off! That sucks, Absolute Auto works on mine,
well I use his rack and tools but he does a lot of high-end cars & trucks. He is off Faulkenburge!
Jermy, good dude and honest..

I was going to ask about the tips until I saw your post.. Damn, well at least they didn't charge you..
It could have been worse! This

guy could have been working on the car:

Hope it takes your mind off things for a sec.

Mr&Mrs · 11-10-2012, 07:10 PM

Haha! I'm over it already modding cars never goes smooth, it always something. The little issues I'm having someone else would probably beg to have over their own. It is nice to vent to the forum when your having a crap day though.

I have to keep telling myself it will be worth it in the end...

You have two sweet looking cars. Can't wait to see the new wheels on the Zele!

omm370z · 11-11-2012, 11:25 PM

Amazing! The zele and the amuse!!!

Mr&Mrs · 11-12-2012, 05:07 PM

Seats should be shipping tomorrow!

Mr&Mrs · 11-14-2012, 01:21 PM

Got my suspension fine tuned today.....AND my Tips fixed

I went with Oval over dual tips or I would of had to lose my F.I mufflers. No way I say!

ts-c63 · 11-14-2012, 01:34 PM

Car looks amazing, just the exhaust tips throw me a little off. I would mess around and try a "split" dual exhaust tip set up and see how that would look. Other then that I'm so jealous

Mr&Mrs · 11-14-2012, 01:48 PM

Trust me I explored every possible route. I at one point told them to weld a dummy tip to the side of a real tip, put a back plate on it, and I would spray flat black paint in it to make it look like carbons

The 3" exhaust is huge as were the mufflers. I had no room to do anything with a dual tip that would not have required me to lose my entire axle back. I think the ovals look better in person maybe im just making myself happy who knows.

Anyone in my position I think would of made the same choice if they could see all the issues with going dual tip. Zele done a great job to force you to buy their system to fit the rear.

Im just so happy I can sit back and enjoy the car for a little bit. I have owned it since July and not even burned an entire tank of gas yet
