Snowdrift Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) Hi, bought my Z back in November and haven't done much with it until now, so I thought it's a bout time I say hello and have somewhere to keep track of my mods etc. This is the car when I first bought it back in November, your bog standard white 370z GT. After saying to myself I'd wait a while before buying parts for this one, I lasted until February before feeling the need to start treating it As much as I like the standard OEM Rays, I wanted to bring the wheels out of the arches (without spacers) and put my own stamp on it. So first thing was to order new wheels, after much fannying around I settled on some Work Emotion CR Ultimate Kiwami in GT silver finish. I wanted a decent concave so went with 19x9.5 +12 front and 19x10.5 +15 rears. I also wanted to upgrade the rubber at the same time so went with the old favourite MPSS (255/35 and 295/30). I can now see why these tyres get such high praise. Hoping to avoid coilovers this time around I bought some eibach pro kit springs which gave me exactly the kind of drop I wanted without really changing the ride too much. Here's how it sits now Very happy with the way it sits now, but I need to remove the little guards that hang below the front wheels as they sit about half an inch from the road and catch on literally everything Next plan is probably an alignment to make sure everything is setup right and buying camber/toe arms as required. It all looks fairly even now but it's bound to be out after all that fiddling. Then it's exhaust time Thanks for reading, Mike.

James Junior Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Nice choice of wheels, they really suit the car well. Looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnymonno Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Looks spot on, loving those wheels, Regarding those little guards at the front, I've left mine on as it gives me an idea that I'm getting close to catching the front lip but it's only scraping those...if you know what I mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowdrift Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) A couple of weeks ago I fitted the Invidia Gemini that I bought from Jonnymonno. Over the moon with it and saved me a few quid as I was about to buy the exact same exhaust brand new. Also bought his decat pipes but refraining from installing them until I can get around to a map, might be a little while as I'm just about to buy a house. Just took a quick pic, the sound is perfect for what I want, can actually hear the car now without any cabin drone.

Jay M1988 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Get the god damn decat's on man and stop fannying about before you sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
