johnc Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I think HybridZ and the Hellaflush/Stance crowd have come to a truce. As long as the low look is thought of as a style thing instead of a performance thing, we're OK with it. What gets us racers pissy is when Hellaflush/Stance is talked about as if its a performance mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistah mofro Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 Yeah I'm more about the style of it since I always loved Shakotan, zokusha and kyusha Japan cars so I'm hoping to incorporate that in this car eventually. Until then it will look like this till further notice. Pretty sure everyone hates that crowd anyways kinda like the 90's ricers era Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistah mofro Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 Well the L24 had a blown Headgasket and My friend offered up a L28 he had sitting around so I threw it in. Well the car has been pretty good lately and I got to actually make it to Vintage Auto Salon in San Leandro a old school J-tin meet and then....... 86Fest in Oakland at Toyote One Dealership. It was a great day other than a few hiccups the car drove relatively smooth the entire time. Me and the homies wanted to go take some group pics for da social media realm.... As we were setting up I noticed the steering was alittle funny..... we took the picture and then my friend saw a broken bolt on the floor which another thought it was his tranny bolt or something. Somehow my bumpsteer/spinldle bolt snapped when we pulled into the shooting spot which was weird since it happened while i was going straight rather turning or anything. Still dont know what caused it but I fixed the following morning although it cost me a trip over to Sonoma to cover their Summer Jam event. At the moment Im happy with the car and looking to improve its daily use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistah mofro Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 After figuring out we didn't have enough monies for ASB this weekend we decided we might aswell host our own event for us to make some skids. The it was time to take care of some things before hand. Got some adjustable front coils to replace the current ones and urethane kit was on its way. Steering coupler was finished in a jiffy . Did my control arm arm bushing aswell.....of course that shit.. Was easy too but the old control arm bolt decided to completely cease in the bushing which required me to cut the bolt... Putting the rack bushings in was kinda Tricky to get them to seat properly but we got them in. Blow torch, wire wheel and knife made the mustache bar bushings quite easy Found nail in my tire a week prior to this and I pulled it out. Came back to it and it looks this. Luckily there was some 16's at work at put them on Set me up on 195/50....at the track went over a storm drain and all the tread came off with it. Luckily only one side And lastly the crossmember bushings were put in few days before event day. With a few phone calls, meet ups, packing, and last minute maintenance it was time to make the 200-220 mile round trip to Thunderhill. First time driving the car on track, first Time drifting in this car , and first time hostin our own event was quit a blast. I have some GoPro footage but mainly I wasn't concerned on recording since I just wanted to drive. Also acquired a new job That i start next monday and looking into some possible fixes for the Z since I have some hardcore axle click, weird clutching in noises at freeway speed and my 9.5's are smacking the tension rod. Next event we are trying to attend are Sonoma Drifts Winter Jam which all three of us are going to try to attend which requires cages and essentials. Till next time!

srgunz Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Not really into this new generation of Z Owners. Is the purpose fad now days to make a car to look like a piece of junk as much as possible??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSoggy Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 It doesnt seem to me that he's trying to make it look bad. Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like having fun bashing the car is more of a priority than a fancy paint job. And if it was about making at look ratty what does it matter? No reason to bag on what other people like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistah mofro Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) Not really into this new generation of Z Owners. Is the purpose fad now days to make a car to look like a piece of junk as much as possible??? no i just dont care how it looks at the moment because I want it to drive well and have all the components functioning at its best. Simply put a pretty face dont make you go faster, it doesnt get you sponsors, and it does win you competitions all it does it gives you a piece of eye candy when you look at it from a far.. It doesnt seem to me that he's trying to make it look bad. Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like having fun bashing the car is more of a priority than a fancy paint job. And if it was about making at look ratty what does it matter? No reason to bag on what other people like. Yes, Thank You. This car i got in a crap condition but slowly want to make it more of a track car before actually having the appeal of looking like one. This car is by far the ugliest car i owned period and is becoming quite an eyesore to be honest. But when I have plans like fuel cell, 6 point roll cage, stock metal fenders, and steering angle mods on the to do list in the coming future exterior crap can wait. Sorry my Z doesnt sit in a garage. ANYWAYS. heres a quick gopro video from that weekend. Dont mind the clunk noise a few bolts in the rear end came loose. car looks like ass and its really starting to weigh on me that it needs to change. Front is with marcus fry for some angle mods upfront, so i have some time to think about it. Edited November 4, 2013 by mistah mofro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistah mofro Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) Well the car has got some changes since the last time I posted. The car now sports UP Garage S13 Coilovers all around, MSA Stainless headers, some basic gauges, front t3 camber plates, extended front lca/rods, and simply cleaned up the wiring with same basic loom. I will be getting more things within the coming month for a local drift series (Boost Series).
