Think I'm getting a case of the "might as wells". I'm thinking while I've got my bumper off I might as well instal my Stillen Gen3 and NST pulleys. But as long as I'm having the EVO R lip painted, I'm thinking I "might as well" get a Aerojacket type III Duckbill cuz that needs to be painted too! :icon14:

To Duckbill/or not to Duckbill?.....that is the question! :ughdance::ughdance::ughdance:

Get it!

Are you going to Cars & Coffee this Sunday? You're further south than I am so let me know if you want to cruise up there.

LOL...not sure I'll be getting up there this Sunday. I still have lots to do on my basement project.

That sounds like a winter project to me :D

I started redoing doors/trim on my second floor in early April. Once the weather got nice it was so hard to stay indoors so I promised my wife that once the weather cools off I'm back in house mode, LOL

Boxes!! 😃http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/10/17/ubyjuje5.jpg

What's in box:yum:

I was wondering the same thing! :excited:

LOL....

Stillen Gen 3. Just talked to my cousin today. He owns a powder coating shop. :) He's going to stop by with some samples on our next ride to match the car and take the pipes back to the shop with him. (Him and I do long training rides on the weekends, cycling) I have a feeling he'll be doing some more powder work for me on this in the future! :) :happydance:

Gonna look great colour matched:tup:

So I got a little ambitious today. Ordered an Elm OBD2 wi-fi reader. Then purchase the Dashcommand app from iTunes Store.

I then searched for ways mount my iPad min on the dash. I have wireless on my iPad already so as an added bonus I also got navigation.

So I found someone on the board that took the cubby door off and mounted it with strong magnets. I didn't want to compromise my 40ths interrior and noticed that if I took the door off I'd have to do some cutting to the door to put magnets on that and use it to cover the cubby when not using the iPad. I didn't want to do that. So I figured out a way to mount the magnets that the iPad just stays there with the cubby door open.

So I took the dash apart and epoxy'd the magnets in the back of the cubby. Then placed the iPad where I wanted it and mounted magnets on that.

Let me tell you. This thing is not going anywhere. I took it to an industrial park and did some 0-60 launches and it stayed in place flawlessly.

I was pretty proud of myself for this. It really adds a lot of functionality to the car and really makes the dash look high tech

Oh....sorry I missed cars and coffee again guys but this was the only time I had to work on it. 😎

I took a bunch of pictures so if anyone sees this and thinks there's some interest in a DIY LMK and I can make that happen.

looks good! and i love hairnation :bowrofl:

hahahha! can't deny I'm a child of the 80/90's! :tiphat:

I'm really loving the ipad. :) The dashcommand app is a lot of fun too! I'm going to have to find an industrial park to rip out some 0-60 and 1/4mile runs with it. At least to get a good baseline for mods. I think I'm going to relocate the wi-fi dongle though. It didn't get in the way of my feet or anything but I can see accidentally kicking it and breaking the thing.

Talke to my shop Sunday. He took my front lip with him to clear the carbon fiber and start prepping the sides for paint. I decided not to give him the bumper yet, hoping I might get another week or two to drive it! :excited:

FI CBE and HFCs ordered. #887! This is going to be a test of patience! Lol 😃

I broke after 6 weeks lol:tup:

Lol! It should be good. I ordered right before winter. That should help!

I had a little interest in the ipad install. So I put up a DIY. If you want to check it out it's here

Love the interior of the 40th. SO nice!

They are calling for snow this week here! So I took the opportunity to take the bumper off. I sent that and my lip to the body shop today.

While I had things apart I took ended up installing the red Z1 hoses I got from Wiggins. They look great! But I'm going to wait till the CAI and electrical wrap is done to show off the little jewel under the hood! 😜

I also took the headlights out so can get to work on those over the winter.

Hey Garagline! check out the pic above! PERFECT time to get those pulley's on and ready for testing come sprint! :)

couldnt help myself by checking out your build... keep it up man your 40th is coming along nicely :)

Thanks!!!:tiphat:

Just got a surprise delivery from the body shop so here's some teaser pics for the winter projects.

Got the Z pretty much tucked away for the winter now. My CAI isn't back from powdercoating yet so I had to put the old air boxes on to get it started and run the stabil through it. Put some carpet squares under the tires too.

I've got the lights out and stripped. Haven't brought up the courage enough yet to break them apart yet. But, I did order the halo's and everything else for the project. The lenses are on back order for the second light so not sure when I'll get that.

Jim. I'm going totry and find some time this weekend to work on getting them apart. I'll help you with yours if that goes well. I owe you one anyhow!

Other than that, just waiting for some black friday deals to get some more parts for the winter projects! :happydance::happydance:

Lenses came off back order already and halos came today!http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/28/a8yte5y7.jpg

How hard was it to open the headlights?

I'm not going to lie its a little scary and kind if a pain.

Not what I wanted to hear haha. I hate the chrome lights on my black Z but am too scared to open them lol

It's cool man! You can still do it. I can help if you'd like. I'm helping Jim with his

This ought to finish prettying up the front end of the car nicely! http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/04/apejymad.jpg

Gonna look pretty sweet once its all back together:tup:

thanks man! Should get it a chunk of it done this weekend. Going to work on getting the oil cooler and CAI installed. I want to get all the rest of this stuff done before my exhaust # comes up.

Oh...and I got a Canon T3i to get some better pics up in here! :)
