I've only got 400w going to mine, it handles 1000w rms. that might make a difference, idk. It could be that it's just not getting enough power? It's supposed to be responsive from 25-200Hz (well mine is at least).

Thanks Simota, I agree! I've always had a thing for Alpine speakers, they sound great and are relatively inexpensive. Great quality too.

I like that wheel choice. I can't decide between the M368 or the M310. Further I can't decide on a finish. What about you?

That Alpine looks a lot slicker in there too.

Huck · 04-18-2013, 10:49 AM

Lol the wheels weren't a problem for me, A log of people are going with the 310 and while I like it, I don't like it nearly as much as the 368. It's something different that you don't see on the Z all the time. Everyone seems to have the 310 style wheels or the Volks or the sport rays. I'm going with Dolphin Grey cause I feel that will match the carbon fiber I'm planning a little better than just flat black, plus it shows more detail in pictures whereas flat black is hard to get a good shot of. My only dilemma is whether to go 19" or 20".

Well, nothing too major to report as of late, the only think I've done was get Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires put on the rear since I went through my Hankook V12's in less than 6,000 miles. I'll never get those tires again, they had no grip at all. I would try to start in first normally at a light and spin the tires. They lasted less than 6 months, biggest waste of $450 ever.

Anyway, I love the PSS's, they're an amazing tire. I got them just before I went to Zdayz and couldn't shake the *** loose no matter what.

I also got a ticket at Zdayz when I wasn't even speeding, 63 in a 30, so as soon as I got home I found a good deal on an Escort 9500ix. I looked at the Blendmounts for it, but I couldn't justify $80 on a piece of plastic, so I followed the instructions I found HERE and it worked like a charm. I'll post up a couple of pics tomorrow. I'm gonna go watch flash gordon.

Zenclosure box with an old Sony Xplode sub I had laying around. I'll replace it with an Alpine type R later on when I can find another job...

Classic sub I have the alpine in my ride you love it..

And last but not least, I took my start button apart and painted it so that a Z shines at night. I think it looks pretty cool, and it was pretty easy to do.

I like the start button does look cool

at night with the iPhone...

car sounds good!! im thinkin of getting some FI LTH

Huck · 07-02-2013, 09:34 PM

Thanks Tony! I would say it depends on what kind of sound you're looking for, whether or not your car is a DD, and how much volume you can tolerate.

I wanted the highest gaining mods possible, that's why I did the LTH instead of test pipes, for the few extra hp. The lth's have a slightly meaner sound that I LOVE. There is a fair amount of drone in the 2200-2400rpm range, I put some sound deadening material in the hatch and doors which helped a lot (talk to pintsize for a good deal on it), but it's still pretty loud in the cabin. If you don't mind a really loud exhaust or a bigger hole in your bank account, I'd say go for it. The quality is beyond amazing and the customer service is second to none.

Picture bump! Finally got the homemade blend mount all set up and installed.

ImageUploadedByTapatalk1372956190.230806.jpg

I'm pretty happy with it. The only thing I wish was different was that the mount was metal, so that it was more rigid. Sometimes when you hit a bump or something the radar will shake ever so slightly. It's not really a big deal in the long run.

On another note, I sold my wheels, so I have a little money to play with. Now the problem, I can't figure out what I want to buy lol. I have about $1400 to spend, should I buy a big item, like the Raptor front bumper from carbon signal, or a carbon fiber hood, or maybe get the amuse rear and spoiler? Or should I get a bunch of smaller things? I'm thinking maybe a touchscreen HU, alpine VR9 5 channel amp, moddiction shift knob, DA buffer, and a pressure washer to wash the car. I also want wheels and an Akebono BBK lol. Totally can't decide. I'm going crazy.

That's a pretty good list man! Sounds like you're making a bit more money than me haha, it'll be a while before I can afford all that.

I would be all about the Shine Auto lip, but two friends of mine with 370's have it already, so I'm gonna go with something different.

I'm considering vented fenders, I like the look of those a lot.

When I get the akebono BBK I'll have them powdercoated pearl white

For the Evo-R mirrors, do you lose the motor to adjust them from the door switch? That's one thing I've never been clear on.

I like the look of the TK shift knob, but I cant justify $300+ on a knob lol.

Here's some of the items that I'm considering...

Amuse rep rear bumper and spoiler in CF...

Carbon Signal Raptor front bumper in CF...

Top secret lip CF...

VIS terminator hood CF everything painted PW except for the middle slats...

Or should I get an Akebono BBK?

Or should I get a bunch of small things? I'm thinking a 7" touchscreen HU, an Alpine VR9 5 channel amp, a Moddiction titanium shift knob, a Meguiare's DA buffer, a pressure washer to wash and suds the car, and mod my headlights (blackout, quad projectors, quad halos, quad demon eyes)

Entirely too many options, I'm gonna go crazy lol.

I vote for the Amuse rear bumper. That's one sexy a$$!

Huck · 07-04-2013, 11:25 PM

I definitely want it, but if I get that and the spoiler do you think the raptor front would go well with it? I wish I could see a Z with both of them on...

w0rM · 07-04-2013, 11:31 PM

Actually, I do think it would go with it. Seems like it would flow really well. Not to mention it would be pretty unique.
