i cringe every time i see one of these BP build threads... from jealousy. Cant wait to see the final results for you.

yes, this would be awesome

To be honest the skinny one cost me a little bit more, but the real expenses shows when they have fun together ;)[/QUOTE]

I don't know about you adding a BP turbo kit to that mix....you already had enough horsepower, now even a built motor won't help you. :p

Congrats and looking forward to your results.

Awesome! We're looking forward to seeing you back.

In the meanwhile I took the stillen fascia to choose the color.. I think it will be the 'true blood' metallic/pearl foil :) My foil shop put it couple weeks ago on GTR and it looks good, so on the Z will definitely look even better ;) I think I'll cover all body in one color. In my opinion the two colors cars and matte foil are a little bit 'passe'. What do you think?

Also just wonder how to put that power on the ground, I think about:

- racelogic traction control
- final gears ?
- camber as close to 0 as possible
- suspension upgrade
- whiteline bushings

Should I add something more to the list?

z1 trans mount may help

Nice. I'm wrapping also. How much header wrap did you go through for the progress in your pictures?

nice work dude!!!

I wrapped the pipes because want to limit the heat expansion from them not to gain some HP or something. I'm thinking about wrapping the headers also but havn't decided yet.

I understand that. I'm wrapping to protect other components (i.e. wires, tubing, etc.), not gained HP. Still just wondering how much header wrap you went through to aid in my purchase. Will 50' take care or it or do I need the 100' roll?

I would choose at least 100'. About that amount we used on the pipes you can see on the pictures.

Cannot wait to start my build...only got the innercooler and pump so far, but the car is still hibernating under it cover anyway..as far as traction from what I read we will have to learn how to control the tq through the throttle, but other than that, mounts and rear diff bushing will help for sure, but too stiff of suspension will have the inverse affect, thus not allowing weight transfer...from my research it seems the toyo 888r in 305s are the best bet for holding the rear.

Unless you own a G and the most rear tire you can fit is 285. I've already done the diff bushing as my OEMs let all the jelly out from inside them. I passed on motor and tranny mounts as I had to stop myself somewhere on the build dollar total.
