yea, i did the install myself. one thing i will say i did that made me alot more comfortable is got a spring compressor with a locking pin.

something like this:

Performance Tool Professional Strut Spring Compressors W89322 - SummitRacing.com

made me feel like i wasn't handling a loaded gun. i would start with the fronts, as those will be the most difficult. took me about 3-4 hours. Its nothing too difficult, jsut kinda time consuming.

backs require 1 bolt to get out, and will probably take 20 min to do both. if u need a hand, just gimme a holler and i can come help

I need to join already. I've been a bit of a recluse since coming home from Afghan. Talked to the wife and she's still keen to join us on an outing sooner or later, if she can ever get some time off work.

As an aside, I'm loving this weather.

edub370 · 01-07-2013, 06:37 PM

bleh, it needs to be warm and sunny again. ya we can get a few people to go and support hazcc next time

Hey who do we know that has a grey 350Z with an Extreme Dimensions Vader style hood? May be a Seibon VT CF hood.

U bet, would love to see some of the mods everyone has made in person to consider doing on my car. My last car was an RSX type S. I had CAI, headers, CBE, pulleys, and an ECU tune

Welcome aCoul. I'm new around the city and on this board, and I can tell you these guys here are a wonderful bunch of people. Our group is small, but very friendly.

It's not the size of the group, it's the way you use it.

Welcome aCoul....There seems to be a few more people going towards FI on their Z's here in KC. I'm still the only one but hoping to have some others soon. Also with the UpRev issue being solved and that we have one close to home will help us keep pushing the mods foward. Good luck and love the car!
