Man, that is just too cool! I hope you don't blow it up

Why not just have an intercooler custom made to fit inside the grill shell/trim shape, then the IC is the grill? 9 out of 10 people wouldn't figure it out. I don't get this whole "intercooler as a style item" thing anyway.

Mr Flip, you must be loaded . I emailed them out of curiosity, since I'm either doing it myself, or buying from Zsondabrain. Here's a copy of the reply I got, I can only hope the $$$$ is a typo: "Sven, we can buildup whichever lights you desire. The taillamps would typically start at about 1400-1500 per pair, for a full LED taillamp (parking, brake, signal). I do not have a quote on the signals though, we'de need to see them first. If you are interested, send over some pics of the car and the lamps you are looking to have converted. We'll try to get something started. Take care, Michael"

cool.

Thanks! Which size/offsets are those? 8 or 9", 0,-10, or +18mm?

Awesome.

Gensaiken, that's exactly what I was thinking. Just divide it internally. I'm planning on sectioning a clear lens and orange then combining the two. I think that would look cool, but a bit expensive buying lights to cut up.

Didn't a member here end up with his wheels?

It is in a one page feature in HotRod too. I have it somewhere for that very reason. Ahhh, Hybrid roots...

Brian, Cool stuff. Now just have someone else film you tearing off down the street at redline... j/k Okay, not really. Kidding, that is. Could you post some pics of the manifold/carb setup? Is it a welded up affair, or one of the boutique Japanese intakes?

Ahhh, funny guy. No. You want .wav or mp3? I've never heard a diesel that sounded that decent, or had any kind of throttle response. I also mistook the fuel lines and injectors for plugs/plug wires. For the record, I own a diesel truck and a pretty built 3.1 stroker L6. I wish my truck sounded like that, the turbo probably prevents that.

It's been at least two days since a "what's this body kit" thread. People must be losing interest in Z's ... sniff, sniff

Wow, that is a pretty clean break. Fairly impressive destruction. As already said, it's interesting to see where ductile failure began before it twisted right off. A little more than "interesting" for you, I'm sure .

I hope you already contacted Ross and gave him a chance to investigate the failure before airing this on a public forum.

I feel ya, give people in the know just enough to figure it out. I totally forgot about the power and reset- excellent! I don't have one either, but it seems that Albuquerque is where 3/4 of all Z31 and S130's ended up. They are everywhere. One may enter my flock sooner or later. On a thread related note, I began stage 1 of my Urban Assault Z last month. I learned some lessons about spray painting a car. Unfortunately my ISP is so terrible I can't upload any pics. I'm working out of town this week, and should be able to upload from my hotel room.

Max, I remember you talking about that idea a while ago. I thought it was really cool thought, and tried to picture it. Your "300NEZ" is sweet. I think the anniversary edition/NES paint scheme works well. I think the d-pad should be more obvious, with the corners tinted. What did you have in mind for the front end? Maybe somehow incorporate a cartridge port as the hood scoop or headlight?
