Jamie_350z Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I thought I would do a build thread on the car, never done one before so hoping it all makes sense. I bought car nearly 2 years ago with it being slightly modded. It had already been sprayed in white from the grey it originally was, a spoiler which I've only just found out what one it is and a horrible bonnet scoop that belonged in a skip.

Jamie_350z Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 I hadn't actually started doing any mods to the car until last June, first of which were a set of K&W coilovers for the car and set about lowering it.

Jamie_350z Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 I then decided I needed a good set of rims for the car, having been looking for weeks and weeks and not deciding what ones I wanted I was really struggling. My friend had bought some Genuine Work Rezax for her DC5 integra and I instantly fell in love with them and knew that's I wanted for my car. The perfect set came up for sale with the sizes of the wheels being insane! 10.5j at the front and 12.5j at the rear with an offset of 0!!

Jamie_350z Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 I then got into a relationship and the whole thing stopped as I was happy with what I had done so far Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_350z Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 So February comes along this year and I'm no longer in the relationship and the craze for modding comes back, I had got a Grip Royal steering wheel in white leather and chrome spokes, Tarmac Sportz side steps, rear diffuser, D1 spec gear knob and a nice set of car mats. It didn't stop there, the car went in to the bodyshop to get that horrible bonnet scoop gone and the front bumper smoothed with the ings style front lip fitted and colour coded.

Jamie_350z Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 I felt after a few months of the wheels being on, they needed a freshen up so I took the wheels to Rimscarnated in Wiltshire and wanted them to really pop in the sun. So we came up with the plan of the dishes being polished up and the centres getting a bronze finish with a chrome layer on top so when the sun hits they really do shine bright. The results of Isaac works are astonishing in my eyes!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_350z Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 I wasn't finished yet, after being told at work I was getting a hefty bonus for all my hard work I set my sights on getting air fitted so I wasn't ruining he bodywork. After ringing many places and getting quotes i spoke to Shakey at studio incar and he won me over with his work. Definitely recommend them for all air fitting and audio!! I didn't want anything fancy just a simple install in the boot and nothing in your face. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_350z Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 And just recently I bought a set of Recaro Speeds off the forum and my god they are beautiful, fantastic condition and so snug! I think I would happily sleep in these rather than my bed!! This is definitely an ongoing project and I'm definitely not finished yet. I'll keep updating this with everything I'm doing and hope you enjoy the thread Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddyZed Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I love how the car is sitting on air and good choice with the rims - bronze works well with the white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martybhoy Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 wow an impressive build! I really like those recaros. How would you say they compare in terms of weight to stock seats? Also how durable do you think they will be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl92 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Was going to say the wheels could do with being an inch bigger but thet fit alright aired out fits together quite nicely i must say Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
