that, and the stickers let me write the car and all my track events and mods off as advertising expense.

SPOHN · 09-22-2011, 12:26 PM

^ really. That's a plus.

Dope build - looks good, nice to see you doing your own thing. Keep it going.
How's the road noise w/the rear interior removed? I'm thinking about doing the same just to gain some additional space ...

I don't know. I haven't driven it on the street without the interior. I will a little for ZNationals this weekend, but its not really street driven.

Haven't updated this thing in a while!

Got the Stillen cooling kit installed today. Went to change brake pads and reinstall my calipers and realized they needed a rebuild, so those parts are now on order and the car will be back on the road Friday.

On the drivers side, I routed the hose just above the firewall, behind the fenderliners.

Used a 2" hole saw to cut a hole in one of the panels behind the liner to smoothly get the hose back to the outside

The right side has stuff on the frame rail and is too close to the exhaust, so it went partially inside the wheel well, then out again. I also relocated my powersteering fluid lines to get them out of the way, but you cant see that here.

Three of my Nismo S-tune wheels that will be my new street wheels. Have a set of Ventus V-12s waiting to mount on them. 4th wheel is cooling in the shop, just out of the oven

getting quaife atb installed,

Z1 installed my GTM Diff cooler and Quaife ATB, and we replaced the muffler section of the Invidia Gemini with glass packs to make room for the cooler.
