thanks..

awaiting my SRP pedals.... i think UPS lost my package.. it's been "Out For Delivery" for that last 3 days..

kjoons · 08-18-2013, 07:55 PM

SRP pedals came in on friday. i must say, they have out standing customer service; Brian @ SRP Racing is a good guy.

i've officially finished all the little stuff on the Z, main focus is going to be KW V3s and a twin turbo kit, possibly a stealth 10" sub when i find some time to research the choices out there.

some updated photos.

Zbrah · 08-18-2013, 10:30 PM

Looking sharp bro. A ttkit sounds like a good plan!

kjoons · 08-25-2013, 09:47 PM

found a zenclosure box brand new for cheap, $80 off craigslist... picked up the 12" sub, amp, and wire kit for $275 with my bestbuy rewardzone card.... about 3-4 hours of careful labor, i slapped it all in, all wires tucked and hidden and it sounds nice.

my next project will probably be blacking out the headlight housings... any tips and any direction on which DIY is the best? my only concern is properly sealing it back up so condensation doesn't start forming.... if it looks doable, i'll do it myself, since $400-600 seems a bit steep, plus not having headlights for up to 2 weeks will be a bummer.

kjoons · 12-14-2013, 01:36 PM

reviving this dead legacy thread..... i splurged for my bday/xmas and bought some stuff from Z1...

can't wait for it all to get here....

kjoons · 12-19-2013, 08:33 PM

waiting for some time off.... then its on like donkey kong..

if anybody is into guns....... i bought a ruger SR556 and ordered a ton of goodies for it too...

kjoons · 12-22-2013, 11:56 PM

well.. i installed the brakes and accessories today..

living room is getting more empty, Z is getting more pretty.. lol.

brake job went smoothly.. brake duct job was a lot of work lol.. flushing the system for the RBF600 was a pain in the ***...... will be putting in the HFCs and suspension goodies on Wednesday (the start of my week off, cant wait!)

Looking good!

kjoons · 12-26-2013, 02:24 AM

Angelo, thanks!

here's the video of the HFC comparison.

there were issues pulling the old cats off, then issues with the Z1 HFC (O2 bung snapped clean at the weld, easy free fix at a local weld shop).

coilovers go in this weekend.

driver side bolt would not come out, finally came to the conclusion it was heat welded from the high heat of the header. the angle at the driver side of this bolt is insanely inconvenient and difficult too. this was on the driver side, passenger side came out with no issues. i had the trickiest time finding a way to get my die grinder to this bolt. once i chopped enough off, i slammed a 13MM socket onto it (real size of bolt head is 14mm), and then broke the nut loose easily after this.

kjoons · 12-26-2013, 03:34 PM

*****FORGOT TO MENTION:

Z1 was very kind with the O2 bung issue, offered help and I'm pretty sure if I needed a replacement, they would've sent it free of charge. I didn't want to keep my car in-op, so I went ahead and got it welded really quick at a reputable welding shop.

kjoons · 12-28-2013, 09:02 PM

wow, ovalling those camber/toe bolt holes in the rear were a PAIN IN THE ***!!!!! however, everything is together. time for an alignment!
