Not the Z, its away at Z1 getting the rear gears fixed.
 
I only have the car on a two year lease, so mods are going to be minimal and resellable. I go through cars quickly.



It wasn't an easy round of mods.

First, I ordered a two tone wheel from Tire Rack, same wheel as what I went with, but with their recommended 255 tires. The tires were narrower than the wheel and didn't look right, and I didn't like the two tone. Sent them back and reordered these.



2nd, one of the front Brembo brakes that I ordered from the dealer was apparently dropped in shipment and the hole that the banjo bolt goes in was flattened out, so I had to get a replacement. I noticed this after I had the brakes stripped off the car, so it added two days to the process.



In the end, I think it was worth it.



First round,

Brembo front caliper upgrade, custom powdercoated by me (I do this professionally, don't try at home!).

Sport Muscle 20x10" wheels

Sumitomo 275/35-20 tires

BMR Panhard bar

H&R springs.



the only other thing I'm going to do to it is Corsa axle-back.[/img]

Pretty spiffy. Love the sort-of retro wheels.

thanks, they are kind of cool, and I couldn't beat the price. they were on closeout and I get wholesale with tire rack, so they were only 149 each.

Nice 5.0, Mike! Take care of her :)

Nice Mike!

Long time since I've really done anything.

Took the interior out today. Don't know when the cage will go in, but I'm ready for it now. Also all prepped to install the CJM fuel starve fix. Hopefully I will get it finished in the next week or so. Probably between the 4th and 7th, the next stretch that I am home.

If you're planning on turning this into a TTA car, save yourself a few points and learn from my mistake - leave the OEM cross members in the back as they are and build around it... and make the roll cage a zero points affair
