Jimmy, are you headed to zdayz this year? We need to get a shoot together if you are going.

Punk86 03-11-2013 02:19 PM

I was thinking about it, but I am also planning on going to Import Alliance spring and summer meets. Do you think you might make either of those? We need to get together for a shoot!

Punk86 03-11-2013 02:21 PM

Also, I dont know if you noticed, but I got the seats in ;)

I'm going to get some better pics of them and post a little later.

sfearl1 03-11-2013 02:59 PM

The seats look great! Idk if I'm going to the IA meets.. but I'm def going to zdayz. Fwiw, you'll probably have more fun at zdayz :tup:

Punk86 03-11-2013 03:23 PM

Well at the IA meets, I work some of the vendors booths and have friends from all over in town. It has been come more of a social event for ppl I dont see often haha. But im sure I would have a blast at zdayz... Let me see what I can do!

The summer meet is at Kentucky Speedway this year! That your neighbor hood! haha

Can you call him and see what he'd charge me to install springs and just the rear camber and toe kit? I don't have the fronts and i'm hoping i won't need them.

Punk86 03-14-2013 06:45 PM

Sure! I'll let you know.

It was better than expected :tup:

I was expecting the worst, but it only too about 30 minutes to install. The gap long the front is really good, while the gaps on the side are slightly larger than stock. Other than that it fits really good and didnt move around at all when I hit 80mph on the interstate.

Jasonle 05-29-2013 03:06 PM

Thats a bad *** hood! Car looks good man!

How does it feel versus the stock hood? Lifting it, closing it, etc.

It lifts about the same, but when I close it, it feels a little bit different. I didnt install the gasket that goes along the front of the hood, so i dont know if that has something to do with it.

SPOHN 05-29-2013 03:49 PM

Hood looks GREAT.

CarbonSignal 05-29-2013 11:56 PM

How can people keep a black car so clean there, looks awesome

_cbreez 05-30-2013 11:22 AM

Wondering how difficult if at all it was to make the wheels fit. I have a 2010 nismo and was given an incredible deal on a set of new custom work vsxx with gunmetal centers (f) 20x10 +30mm (r0 20x12 -2mm in the rear. I have a set of 10mm spacers coming in with as well, but I'm a bit nervous as to how much work they'll require to fit just right.

My rears are 19x12 -4 and it took a little bit of work lol. I didnt want to pull the fenders so to get them to fit i stretched a 275/35 tire and had to run -4.75 camber. I'm still thinking about pulling the a slight bit.

What disk type do you have for the fronts? I'm running R-disks and had to get a 5mm spacer to clear the sport breaks.

The fronts are T disks and the rears are R disks. I have a 10mm spacer coming hoping that'll be enough to clear the BBK, but if not the vender agreed to swap it out with a 15mm if needed. Truth be told I'm not sure what the differences are between the disk types, forgive my ignorance. What brand tires are you running?

I'm pretty sure the T-disk was designed to clear our front breaks, so you might not need a spacer at all. Unless you just want more of an offset.

R-disk requires a 5mm spacer and I think A-disk requires a 15mm spacer.

I really dig that front lip from seibon. I'm looking at future lip options, this is one of them but really concerned about how far forward and low it sits. Will probably have to raise the car a little bit to accommodate and not have to worry about scraping and ripping it off.

Nice looking MB Z!

Have you have to replace it yet or are you still on your first? I have the S style and on my 2nd lip. Already has a small crack. My bumper popped off the right fender twice already because it is so low. aarrrgh

I'm already on my second bumper. I win :bowrofl:

OP, that's just the way it is with these lip kits :p

Punk86 06-04-2013 10:23 AM

LOL. Yeah, I use to have a stillen front lip and i destroyed it within a month. This was the next lip that I got and I have had it on since sometime around September '12. It has started cracking in a few places, but its not very visible.

My font bumper isnt screwed in on the sides because if I hit something Id rather it pop out and have some give. So every once and a while I have to go push the bumper back in... low life problems... lol

axmea? 06-07-2013 11:48 PM

I have set aside a lip fund. I will need it for a rainy day. I would like to see a Seibon GT on a PW Z. Nice car bro.
