Time For More BOOST!!!

Robert_K · 02-22-2012, 01:11 PM

OK... So I just got off the phone with HRE. The original sizes and offsets I was suggested was; 19x9.5 +32 (265/30) & 19x11 +34 (305/30). I questioned this and was told they will fit. Well I got in touch with Lon at HRE via another forum. Told him the sizes/offsets and said they don't sound aggressive enough. So we shot e-mails back-and-forth. Anyhow... New offsets for my HRE P43SC are; 19x9.5 +20 (255or 265/30) & 19x11 +25 (305/30).

What do you all think about me swapping my Seibon '03-'06 TS hood for an '07-'08? Think I like it with the hump. Here are some pics.

My Hood:

do it!

I keep debating a hood with vents, but just not sure with driving my car everyday.
The heat removal would be great especially if I get in traffic in Houston, which is always.

Ron · 02-25-2012, 12:33 PM

I am debating it too, might look weird with no other body mods, I dunno. Matt did you see the upgrade for the stage 1 SC? Are you getting it?

Not currently, want to finish up my body mods and interior before more power.
Though if I do anything power I might do a meth kit or some engine work.

I drive my Z everyday with the vent. No issues. You can see the heat coming out so it has to help some.

O&G · 02-26-2012, 10:42 AM

Always liked the HR hood. Looks good.

Well talked to PowerFab today. Kinda just getting a weekly status update and not much has changed. Engine is still at G&G, HalTech is still saying sometime in March, no update on the Teins and hopefully will have a word back on the intercooler and piping this week.

On a personal note... Iraq is still not issuing entry Visas. So until they start I can't leave without quitting my job. Have 40 days till my R&R so wife & I are hopping for some good news soon. But I did get promoted this month and pay day is this Friday. And payday is looking good with the pay increase.

O&G · 02-27-2012, 01:23 PM

Grats man. You can build my motor next

G&G does great work. We use him very often¡! You have to get out of Iraq to lead our convoy. Hope it works out.

Thanks and I know!!!

It's not looking promising but I'm praying.

Ron · 02-27-2012, 01:50 PM

Don't worry Robert. I'll lead, we'll make it there in 1.5hrs. NA cars will get a headstart

haha
