Z cars are always work in progress because you are never done with it lol

So ive figured out wtf is wrong with my damn PWJDM covers... the stupid people that made it.... made it so damn thick where the two bolts area (center portion)

it was about 1/4 thick or it had a big air bubble on both sides... this was the reason why it was not sitting properly.... i almost cracked the cover because i was slamming the hood to close it

luckily i noticed the stress cracks forming...

Now here is the shitty part, saturday when i installed it, i made the slots even longer so that the holes would line up that was a big no no.... since the holes are bigger the cover moves around now. I needa re fiberglass the holes and then drill the holes once more... If i dont do this the cover will hit my hood sometimes, if i get lucky it doesnt hit. I opened and closed my hood about 20 times after i address the center portion and it hits about 50% of the time... I dont want that especially after i have it recleared... ive already dropped off the battery compartment covers to get cleared

simota1 · 01-08-2013, 10:16 AM

a lil update.... i fixed the cooling plate... thank god... i filled it with fiberglass and got the holes exactly

so all the pieces are at the body shop right now and getting clear coated....

so ive decided to add another piece to my ongoing engine bay.... i will most likely get the Top secret oil catch cans instead of the arc and the Top secret strut bar that way everything is Top secret.... after all is said and done... i believe my car deserves this...

i wanna do the stripes on the hood and roof....

what do you guys think...? in matte black with a silver 1/8 pinstripe OR no pin stripe.... input is greatly appreciated

LMBmikeZ · 01-08-2013, 12:41 PM

The stripes will look good

......... but no pinstripes IMO!

Mr&Mrs · 01-08-2013, 02:50 PM

That will look awesome!

cbrboy86 · 01-08-2013, 05:53 PM

that paint scheme would be nasty

simota1 · 01-09-2013, 02:14 AM

thanks fellas!!!! ^^^^ im freaking stoked for those stripes.... i think its the best way to represent top secret

i visited my body shop friend... PWJDM needs to be cleared again... so much damn pin holes from the cf.... at least once my friend clears it... itll be good to go

on a brighter side... i just sent my money to DAYTONA RACING for my top secret engine cover

.... (4weeks wait though

)

next on my list is the top secret oil catch cans and engine brace....

i always told myself i wouldnt be stupid enough to buy those parts... its amazing how ive eaten my words TREMENDOUSLY lol

simota1 · 01-11-2013, 02:36 PM

when i did the red kevlar on my z... the cf fabric looked a bit much

simota1 · 01-14-2013, 02:12 PM

i really hope they shipped it out already like they said.....

on a side note i was speaking to my friend from daytona racing and his tryna get me a top secret engine brace... he told me 2 months wait

Jon, the ride is going to be sick bro. To bad you cant take it to the states and show it off. People in Guam just cant appreciate the style and dedication that we do to our cars cause all they like are hondas and acuras and minitrucks LOL.
