Huck's Project Mistress

Alright, I've been slacking with the updates, so here's a few all at once

First I received and installed my FI headers and holy hell was it a PITA. Finally got it all done and everything, and they sound amazing. Here's a quick clip I made, I'm still gonna take the car out one day and do drive by's and take off's and stuff.

After installing the headers I took it to White's Import Automotive for an Uprev tune. I won't be going back to him, he knows cars and stuff, but when it comes to tuning he was really conservative, he kept saying that the stock tune was the best and he shouldn't be messing with it. So he didn't really do all that much for me, I dyno'd the baseline at 299hp and 245tq. He spent about 35-40 minutes tuning and I ended up making 308hp/256tq. Part of the reason for the low numbers was that it was 100.1 degrees in the tuning bay. Anyway, here's a quick vid of that...

After that I got some GTmat sound deadening material, and installed it in my hatch. It cut out about 4-5 db on average. I'm pretty happy with it so far and when I have some more spending money I will be ordering some more.

For the next thing I don't have any pics to show you. I have been coming home from work and (if it wasn't raining from Isaac) going straight to work on the speakers I got from NYBladez. He bought a set of Alpine components that you can see here and then sold his Z before he could install them. So instead of paying $300 for the speakers and another $25 for the adapters, he sold me everything for $135 shipped. Brand new in an unopened box. I got them installed the other night, the tweeters were a PITA because of that stupid door molex thing, it was hard to snake the wires through it. But I finally got it all done and they sound amazing, even with out an amp. 100x better than the stockers.

That's about all for now, I might not be modding for a little bit, I had some unexpected expenses come up and I had to put all my mod money that I had saved aside into the bank to pay for stuff

on the other hand, I just got some more materials in for headlight restoration which I've started doing on the side, and I have 4 people lined up so that will be a little extra cash, and I might have a side job coming up for some home renovation, so that will DEFINITELY be money in the pocket

until then, take care chaps!

haha no problem man....

i enjoy seeing people piece together their Z's

Huck · 09-02-2012, 01:33 PM

This wasn't really a mod, but yesterday after work I spent about 3 hours washing, claybarring, waxing, and detailing my car. She needed it, the claybar pulled up a fair amount of stuff. I also tried buffing out some scratches I've acquired with some success. I'll post some pics in a bit

Looking good man! Where's that drive by video you promised now that you're tuned?

Huck · 09-02-2012, 11:54 PM

Actually, I MAY do that tomorrow, finally a day free

Nice. I need to do another one of my new setup.

Dallaz · 09-03-2012, 01:25 AM

Car looks good, you've got top quality performance parts on there, nice! Really liking the CF mufflers, whats next, wheels?

Huck · 09-04-2012, 10:45 AM

I'm gonna take a break for a while, money is a tad tight right now since we had some unexpected bills come up. I'm trying to get a new job working for a corporate AT&T store, the pay is great and you can move up pretty quickly. My buddy started there about 4 months ago and he's making over $4000 a month, over $3000 take home. Better than what I'm making here so I'm gonna try to switch over. If I get the job, Avant Garde M368's will be in the near future

Finally, took the time to do it and put it all together. Everything is still done with the iPhone 4S, so it's not the greatest quality, but it's not bad either. I just got a GoPro Hero 2 brand new for $200, so I'm waiting on the memory card that I ordered off of Amazon.com to get here, then I'll start taking vids with that. Anyway, here it is!

Sounds awesome and I liked the play by play comments

Hey Huck! Glad to see your Z is coming along nicely!!! I thought I was done with my Z but I keep itching to get the LTH. Since we had the same CBE and CAI I was wondering if you could tell me if the LTH increased cabin noise at all. I don't want the cabin noise any louder than it is, it is liveable now but I want to be able to hold a conversation without yelling at my passenger. Thanks in advance for the info! And keep up the good work!
