Riptide67 · 03-02-2015, 02:17 PM

Pictures are beginning to pop up from XXX yesterday. I will have some new pics here shortly, along with a shoot I did yesterday for Avant Garde!

Im so happy to hear youre keeping it at least for now! Definitely made my day to read that. And yea man it would take the rigjt person to buy it and for 50 percent of what you got in it. Screw that ****

Awesome!

Riptide67 · 03-02-2015, 07:36 PM

The last two things I need to figure out are the doors and the rear quarter panels. Considering the possibility of shipping the car off to Fly1 and having it all done at the end of the year. Potentially making the hips a little wider as well. Front end is already widebody...so why not?

Riptide67 · 03-02-2015, 10:24 PM

I was stoked to get my roof and UPS crushed my dreams. She was damaged but is being taken care of by Lohit at Fly1. Can't thank him enough for the support! Just a minor set back for now.

nomodsjk · 03-03-2015, 09:28 AM

Lohit is the man! And you will definitely be pleased with their work, Lohit and Nelson are both really good people.

Riptide67 · 03-03-2015, 01:46 PM

I always am pleased with their products and communication. The roof cap was absolutely beautiful, UPS needs to head the Fragile labels!

Riptide67 · 03-08-2015, 10:53 PM

Scored some Z1 Light weight front rotors today! Just need some rears now

Riptide67 · 03-10-2015, 07:52 PM

I splurged a bit today, lol.

-Z1 rear 2 piece rotors
-stoptech pads
-Z1 stainless brake lines
-Motul RBF 600 brake fluid

Figured I might as well knock it all out!

GaleForce · 03-11-2015, 12:57 AM

Sweet!

Riptide67 · 03-12-2015, 01:25 PM

I am dropping the new headlights and all the goodies from TRS off on Friday to be modded. I will hopefully have them installed and wired up in a week or two.

Got the word from Fly1 that the replacement roof is out of the mold and will be shipping out again next week.

Checklist of things to be done before NissanFest
-New modded lights
-New powdercoated Accuair Tank
-New CF Roof
-New CF hatch
-Z1 and Mishimoto hosing
-Z1 rotors, Lines, and Stoptech pads

Got about a month and a half before the show. Should be plenty of time to get most, if not all of it completed.

Riptide67 · 03-29-2015, 01:47 PM

A few additional parts I've scored over the last week for the 2015 update and refresh

-Seibon VSII Carbon Fiber Hood
-3GS Customs one off AccuAir controller A Pillar
-Custom Red stitched Carbon Fiber OEM steering wheel with modified handles

I'll be putting in some good work this weekend. Installing all the brake components and the headlights. The new hood will arrive Monday and I should have it on the same day.

Riptide67 · 03-30-2015, 09:32 PM

Unfortunately my new hood arrived with a nice spider crack in it. UPS is the worst shipping company in the world. This is twice in a row for me and they will no longer have any of my business.

nomodsjk · 03-30-2015, 11:30 PM

Yea f ups in the A. Not a fan... I'm glad to see you went with the vs11 tho. I love mine. I think the amuse body lines go really well with it
