The Life and Times of Riptide67's 370Z

Riptide67 · 11-21-2013, 04:16 PM

Thanks, zefaulter! Beautiful 40th you have there!

SS_Firehawk · 11-21-2013, 10:50 PM

I'm loving the wheels! I keep telling my Wife I like the bronze or copper colors, bronze is easier to find. And the wheels on Vivid Racing's Viper.... Delicious.

Riptide67 · 11-21-2013, 11:17 PM

You are right, SS. Same thing I told my girlfriend when I first saw this color. I was always a major fan of bronze and gold, but the burst bronze really swayed me after seeing them on Zlife's 40th.

Riptide67 · 11-24-2013, 02:36 PM

So, I have decided to get moarrrr low. Got a pretty decent deal on some BC coils from a buddy. Gonna swap out the Swifts and and remove a little more wheel gap!

Riptide67 · 11-26-2013, 12:57 PM

Decided to finally upgrade my sound system a bit. I miss having Bluetooth streaming from my IPhone and navigation.

Just purchased a Kenwood DNX7160 with back up camera, Metra Dash Kit, and steering wheel controls

Riptide67 · 11-27-2013, 12:17 AM

After doing a little thinking and some research, I have decided to switch up the suspension on BlackHeart. A buddy of mine is parting his Nismo out and gave me a great deal on his BC Racing BR Series coilovers. Already have a buyer for my Swifts as well

Going to do the install on the 8th!

ScotZ · 11-27-2013, 08:00 PM

Hey, Great Job on the Z so far!
Love those Rims!
Look forward to seeing next Mods.

Riptide67 · 11-27-2013, 10:29 PM

Thanks, Scotz. I am doing an updated photoshoot after my hood shows up from Fly1/AeroJacket. I'm looking forward to it bc IPhone pics are doing my Fairlady no justice.

Riptide67 · 11-28-2013, 11:50 PM

Full Carbon Fiber Amuse Replica from AeroJacket USA has been ordered!!!!!

Nice! Congrats!

Riptide67 · 11-29-2013, 01:50 AM

Also placed an order with Z1 for the JDM fog light and front hood struts

Riptide67 · 12-08-2013, 11:02 PM

Little update:

Hood has still not arrived. I was told I should get it some time this week. I'll have to wait to install it over the weekend since I will be away for the week for work

BC coils will be done next weekend after I return.

zefaulter · 12-12-2013, 06:54 PM

Wow, that is not a little update... Photos?

Riptide67 · 12-12-2013, 07:24 PM

I am currently in Oregon but the hood was delivered today. I am hoping to install it this weekend with the JDM fog light and Z1 hood struts.

I am then leaving on Tuesday to head back east for the holidays. Once both my buddy and I are back from leave we are doing a shoot. I also set an appointment today for Mid-January to have the long tube headers installed.

BlackHeart will then be on stand by until it's ready for the CF Amuse Rep install.

Riptide67 · 12-15-2013, 11:15 PM

Oil changed today with Mobil One, rear JDM fog light, and BC BR Coils installed(holy low).

Hood got held in shipping and is being delivered tomorrow. I'll have some teaser pics up then!
