TAIL LIGHTS ADDED WOO and MotorDyne Manifold

Tail lights added nice shot.

Myself and James (z1804)

Closer shot of stock intake removed.

MotorDyne M370 Manifold installed!

Mod Day @ z1 motorsports. Getting Gen III intakes (powdercoated by Mike) and my oil cooler installed!

Outing with Chris and James (10'Anamoly and z1804). We were making videos of how each car sounded too, snuck off for some Pizza and James invented a new air freshener.

Mod day @ Mike the powdercoaters house. Picture taken after the slip n slide incident....

Note how in all these pictures, despite the crap quality, despite the bad light, you can see how bad the bumpers were.

So in that regard, huge props to my dealership, Jerry and Mark for helping me get this fixed.

Nice Pics!

fairladyZ34 · 10-17-2010, 12:12 AM

looks good bro

ThoriumHotdog · 10-17-2010, 12:29 AM

Sounds pretty good. I definitely want to see more pics especially the engine bay.

As for the pulley, this may be a stupid question, but wouldn't powdercoating them adversely affect the performance? I always thought they were finely balanced. Could be wrong but I thought I'd ask.

If it matters I have the new 6 spoke concave that the customer backed out of in 19", just not as aggressive for the same price. We gotta move them fast so we can refund this guy, if you are interested let me know.
