LOL!!! I don't want my Z over here! And with a cashier's check for a determined amount of my choosing, you can break-in the car all you want. :D LOL

I gotta say... I'm jealous of that front end...

FYI: That is not mine. Just showing how the headlight will look. :tup:

So an update....

First the headlights I ordered from 350ZSource they don't stock, they drop ship and not ETA. Cancel that order and found them at Courtesy Nissan.

Went ahead and order the tires from TireDirect.com; Toyo R888 265/30/19 & 305/30/19. Being shipped to EVS Motor so they can be mounted/balanced on their new Hunter Road Force GSP9700 Balancer.

Spoke with PowerFab and still waiting on the engine to get back from G&G and IPP. The Tein coil overs should be driving soon and, of course, still waiting on the HalTech Plug-In Pro. Lastly, PowerFab saw a timing chain failure so we're going to replace that while we have the engine out & opened.

Everything is falling into place slowly. Now if I can just have the Iraq Gov't grant us Visas so I can get home everything would be perfect!!!

Update:

IPP dropped everything; engine, trans, etc... off Saturday at PowerFab. Due to Tx2K and some other events should start installation next week.

Love the build, epic parts list!

Well I just received word that the Tein Comfort Sports have been discontinued. I was really sold on these as I'm not looking for a stiff coilover but yet wanted more lowering options and damper control. I'm researching options now and only looked at the MonoFlex. I do want the EDFC control from inside the cab. Other options or thoughts guys?

EDIT: Thoughts on the Tanabe Sustec Pro Five w/ TEAS?

Insanity...haha.

I use Tein tools to adjust my HKS's, including the damping. I love them, you can adjust spring rate, piston dampness and ride height. I'm 95% sure I can use the Tein EDFC in conjunction w/ my HKS coils, I'll check on it this weekend.

Opted for the KW Variant 3 Coilovers. Hopefully will hear back from PowerFab on availability next week.

PowerFab might have a set of KW Variant 3's in stock. Also going to add the SPL front upper arms, rear camber links and eccentric lockout kit.

Just received this from HRE; "The wheels are in the machine shop and are expected to be completed beginning of next week." I believe installation is starting this week. The KW V3's as well as the '06+ LightWerkz headlights shipped out. Oh and my Toyo R888's were delivered Tuesday to EVS Motors.

Looks like everything is getting closer to completion. The KW coil overs should be delivered today at PowerFab. Just received pictures of the headlights; Robert’s 350Z – Painted Housings, Angel Eyes, and Clear Lens Mod! | HID Projector Headlight Retrofit for Subaru, Honda, BMW, Scion and More | LightWerkz.net Now if I can just get my damn Entry-Visa so I can come home and enjoy my car it would be perfect!

I didn't read through the entire thread, were SSR professors on the car originally?

19" WORK Meister S1 3pc. :tup: Still have them.

Dang, I will pay you a dollar per week for the next 48 years....deal?

LOL just kidding, both are great wheels, the HRE's is just a step higher....much higher than I could go on any of my cars.

LOL! (I actually did the math on that one :bowrofl: )

Thanks! I've been wanting a set of HRE's since '08. Was even looking at ADV.1's but they didn't have anything "track" worthy I liked. F-body friend link me these when they first came out. Wife wasn't happy about the order at first but she knows it makes me happy and its what I've been wanting.

your going to love the Tommy Shifter ! Liking all the new stuff ! Good job !:bowrofl:

Nice wheels man, I'll get some fresh pics of them on your ride after I do the test drive :rofl2:

Just talked with PowerFab...

The engine is on the stand getting timed and prepped to go in this week. The HalTech unit should arrive Wednesday. The SPL rear arms are to arrive in 1-2 weeks do to back order. Should hopefully start receiving some pictures as everything get installed.

Personal note... I went ahead and canceled my R&R for April. Still no word on Iraq starting up issuing entry Visas.

You going back to the sandbox???

Back?! LOL I've been back since Dec '10. Last time I was home was May '11. Last R&R was Sept '11.

Damn, it's been a long time.

Too long. :shakes head: Can't complain too much. Co-worker hasn't been home or on R&R since March '11.

Get home safe buddy!

Thanks! And will share more pictures asap! :tup:

:happydance: <~~Me cause my wife is picking up my wheels today.

HalTech box arrived. :jamm: This was the one part I was nervous about not arriving on time!!!
