BrandonsZ Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I finally figured out how to post pics, so enjoy, and thank you, HYBRID-Z! I've drivin it 1000 miles and about 6 weeks now and it's still makes me giddy when I'm going to drive it and I still get nervous when I park it. 8:1 power to weight ratio, fast enough for me... so far.

Sparks280zt Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 nice, would've painted that engine bay flat black, but I looks great, congrats man. Any plans on an updated tire/wheel combo or are you going for the sleeper look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonsZ Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 The engine bay was not painted because in the future, the whole car will be stripped, shaved, filled, and custom painted. Plus as I added things I managed to scratch something about every time, I would have been pretty upset by now if the paint was pristine. I'd want to paint the engine compartment the car's color as well. The tires were brand new when I bought it, so why not wait a while. I need to pick the perfect combo front and rear, I know I want at least 245 50 R17 in back and maybe 225 45 R17 in front. Not sure. It will aways be a sleeper except for the bling bling tip, rims and paint job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks280zt Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 cool deal man, that painted bay will look clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonsZ Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 Plus, I need to shave and fill all the little holes that I accidentally drilled, the ones that no longer have parts associated with them, and the extra bosses, I want it to look show when I'm done, because I'll be showing it when I'm done. But I really want to drive it right now and I'm going to drive it till something major breaks or I get really gun ho about teatring it down. I still want to weld up the frame rails and fix a spot of rust I found on the existing pass side rail while it's still in this semi-ruff state. I'm going full overhaulin' on this thing at some point.

PUSHER Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 8:1 power to weight ratio' date=' fast enough for me... so far. [/quote'] 20,000 hp should be pretty fast for most people. Nice car, those rear tires have to be crying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandonsZ Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 Heh. I got to see the "350z" before anyone else. Such an awesome car AS IS... I can't wait to see the finished product... Should I email them to you when I'm done first? It'll be a few years probably, after 9 months of using the gutless Volvo 4 speed auto, I think I need to play with this for a while, get all the bugs out, try some new things, then plan it out, I dont want to take another 9 months once I tear it down. I want this thing to drive like a new car, smell like a new car, and look like a new car, I got 1/3 so far. Thank all for your support!
