Blown77Z Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Feels good doesn't it? The clutch break-in will seem like an eternity! hehe. Just don't forget to check your lug nuts so you don't have my experience to deal with... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

510six Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Polian, isn`t your motor an LS6? We will have to trade rides once I get my 510 back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seabee280z Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 really looks good like the color scheme the only thing that doesnt do it for me is the larger rear tires but to each his own car looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4xwellmurd3r Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I like the big tires. It's got a mean 60's muscle car stance haha. I know why it seems a bit awkward though. it needs 280ZForce's BAMF rear flares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinE Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 All you need to do is paint that from mesh grill black and it will look 1000x better. Other than that...i love it. Good job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse OBrien Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I really like that steering wheel. Did it come out of a 350z or does it just fit the car like a glove on its own? Where can I find one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
