That is better than the 800.00 that I was quoted for the refinishing of my dash.....and I only have two cracks .

I would like to see other pics of the dashif anyone has them...

there is a two step clay process that you can use with a polishing pad that will put such a shine you could shave if you wanted to....

What works are you going with? I had a set of Ray's Engineering Lexion 203's on my IS 300 at one point. I miss them.

it has been over 24 hours bitch where are the pics

WTF I have pretty much left www.is300.net for here. I have enjoyed reading your informative posts and hope that you keep up the good work and come and visit us from time to time.....you never really leave a previous forum that you have been a part of.......

speaking from experiance cheap and well built don't come together........ but the wheels do look good. the good thing with steel is that you can hammer the ♥♥♥♥ out of it with care.........

you need to go to someone that can take offsets with the car being there or calculate what he needs within the factory setings. Go to any local shop with any knowhow and they will help you guys out

Ordered as of today.....I will now have to play the waiting game with Jegs and Pertronix...........I hate waiting........

will they be made in Carbon Fiber? I think that would go great with my theme of the car that I am going after.....after all I am about to hack up my Carbonfiber-titanium HKS exhaust from my IS 300 to put on the Z

who still says "suckie"......lol good job on the suspension though

about a 20 min. drive from my house..........

I have been in several wrecks. some my fault some not. Flipped my lowered chevy truck in the mid 90's on Nantucket racing from town to Sconscet......slid on the roof about 80 feet after turning over......( that was a balls out fast truck , p.s. I had the Mustang beat too.) I was wearing my seatbelt and had to cut myself out of the restraints with a knife and well " I had a momentary laps of reason" I walked away with two broken fingers from punching a sign cause I totaled my truck. I ripped the body off the frame of my lifted Chevy truck.....( after jumping railroad tracks several times) no harm I flipped my CJ-2A in the desert several times playing on the dunes. I was strapped in. ( I grew up in Saudi Arabia) I was in a head-on collision with another car while in my IS 300. NOT my FAULT. He crossed the median and was drunk. I tried to get out of the way but, it wasn't in the cards for me to miss. I walked away. I typically drive 80+ on the streets in Houston. Traffic permitting I will go faster, I still get passed in the freeway. I am always careful and watch the traffic around me. All of the times that I wore a belt I was saved. In the Z it is a different story. These cars need to have updated safety restraints. Period end of story. I am planning to get a rollcage and 4 point harness for the car with newer seats. But there is only so much that you can do foir safety if you are not seen you will get plowed. I park my Z next to my IS 300 which is lowered tucking 18" wheels and the Z is still a healthy 8" lower than my IS 300. That is Sick. Sitting in my FX 45 and looking out the driver's side window I can't even see the roof of the Z. these cars are so low, and light that our safety have to be seriously taken into consideration. I am installing HID's and LED tails in mine to help with the lighting visibility. I have escaped death many times ( not braging just a fact) and I want to be around to see my children be born.....

I am having a set custom made for me at the end of the year. I am using a pattern that is provided by the manufacturer. I am choosing the backspacing, rim size, rim width, and the lip. I will then get them powdercoated.

Well I wish I would have known before I got it done. It looks good to me.....We will see for now......

Got the tank lined. They did it twice for me to make sure everything was good. They had to open it up and fix things insde and put herback together,coated the outside and sent me onmy way....

that my friend is phemnominal.... I have a few more things to do on my Z prior to stripping it down to get things recoated and reinstalled. I am curious about your turbo coatings.......Did he rebuild the turbo and recoat it? It all looks nice and clean just the way it should......any way you could pm me the pricing on the pieces that you have had done?

I guess this thread is dead? I want a set of coilovers as well. I am aware that you get what you pay for but there seems to be such a price differance between the setups. I am currently using Tien springs and Bilstein HD in my IS 300. I like it and all but I want the adjustability of a coilover on my Z. I will need the clearance for my new set of wheels anyway so this is a good excuse to get a set...

I found someone here in town to recondition my fuel tank and line it to keep it nice and clean. I am going to be out about 225. Anyone else had this done? This was the last weak link in my car. I have fixed all other problems as far as the motor is concerned. When we dropped the tank it sounded like a empty soinic cup of shaved ice inside....I guess I should have checked it out before I paid to get the carb rebuilt the first time.....( stupid learning curve...) Next up....brakes....then fill the Nitrous bottle.....

Did you have to switch the distrubutor ? The pertronix unit shows that it is a single point pick-up set-up.

Why hasn't anyone spoke about the Modern Motorsports coilovers? I have been looking into those....

Do you have the part #. I talked to someone from Petronixand they told me that they do not have a part for our car? I should not have a problem switching if I am dual points ?

I know that there is a MSD kit out there to convert from points to eletronic pick up inside the distributor.......any one have a way to not have to change out all of the system and just change out the pickup? All that I have as far as eletronics go are good I just want to get rid of the points................

you are scared to bring the pain aren't ya.....

DAYMN IT MAN....... I am sorry. I never would have forseen that the mold would have done that . I appreciate the help ....
