thanks for the compliments and theres no way Id keep those swastikas, I sold my rewinds because they were way to narrow so those wouldnt quite cut it.

Looks good

the body lines match up very well, nice paint! New rims and fix the exhaust and i'd say you have a kick *** ZX.

thanks, yeah the exhaust is just flopping around because im in the process of making a new one. Iv already finished my 4"-3" downpipe, I have to take it back of to make a heat sink for my wideband so Ill get some good pictures of that to. I took a few pictures of the engine bay. Its a mess right now and alot of things arent actually bolted in because Im waiting for my parts to get here then I can make my new 4" intake for the Holset. After that I will be able to bolt everything back up, buy a battery and hopefully start it But I think after I finish up some of the little wiring I have left for Megasquirt, clean everything up and put my Cusco strut bar back on it will look much better.



Downpipe and LC1 wideband

WoW....I am not sure but I think you may need a couple more feet of SS braided fuel line

Is that an NPR intercooler?

Cool, I have not seen the NPR in the car like that.....now I know how it fits, I ask cause I have access to quite a few of those intercoolers and now that I know how it fits, will go pick one up.

Nice I like the new additions to your ride! I also like how you can see the shiny "teeth" (as I call it) of the intercooler through the bumper. I like it.

That's a nice looking car right there, and probably a very similar color to what I would choose for my own when it comes time to get my project off the ground.

This might be a question, but is it a 280ZX styling faux pas to paint the front bumper ground kit the same color as the body? For me, the flat black kind of gives it that "I'm not quite done with my car yet" look. Otherwise, very smokin' indeed. Nice touch with the tail lights, too.

Thanks again for the compliments guys.

and as far as painting the front airdamn. Mine is Eurethane so I cant really paint it myself. And it never really bothered me, especially if I end up with ZG's some day because I would keep them black also. The spoiler I plan to keep flat black intensionally.

My new downpipe... It has a Vband clamp and starts out at 4" then reduces into 3". Rest of the exhaust isnt finished yet but its going to be 3" into a straight through Dynomax

KTM200-280zxt...where did you get the rear spoiler? I like it...I keep going back to your car and looking at it on your myspace page, I like it a lot. Both the front spoiler and rear, good choices.

Iv been getting alot of questions about the spoiler, especially over at Hybridz. Im glad people like it, or atleast pretend to. haha. As far as were i got it... Its the plain old BRE spoiler from MSA for the S30.

And if you really do like it... Ill trade for your coilovers

Ohh I might start an entirely new thread but I was hoping maybe you guys good give me some suggestions on new wheels now that I have a few good pictures for reference. Someone is coming to pick up my Advans tomorow because I decided I no longer want to deal with adaptors seeing as Tech.Tonics Tuning no longer sells them.

I just want something cheap that just bolts on seeing as my car is pretty much running now. My two big options right now are SPortmax 002's(16x8 0 offset) probably in silver, just like Chinese kid. or Rota is coming out with there RB series wheels in 16x8 and 17x8.5 in +4 offset.( not sure if these will fit?) But who knows how long the wait is on those

Ha ha, I like it, but not that much for a trade for my coilovers.

As far as wheels goes for your car. I see where you're going as for style...Watanabe RS, so I'm liking the Royal Black or RBG on your last link. How much are those? I've been wanting "true" Watts for years, but never had the money for them. Those you listing look good.

wow dude, you read my freaking mind. i too cannot decide between rota and sport max. both very light, make nice wheels and are very affordable. however rota is more of a honda company, so might be hard to find a setup you like thanks to FWD popularity.

well they now make the RB in 16x8 with only +4 offset. wich is close to zero and would fit. But there $200 more. weight a little more and it looks like I could be waiting all summer just to get them. With the SPortmax i could afford a small spacer even thought its not needed. that way they come right out to the fender and fit perfectly flush. and there pretty damn light too

hmmmm????
