 Losing faith in Z1.. Their Street clutch AND light weight flywheel gave out.. going with Jim Wolf

Moved in to a new apartment and have no mo money..  looking toward project widebody

New TOYO R888 tires in the rear...Hellaflush meets a new level

 

You can see the new fat back tires busting out

 

MORE BOOST!! I WANT MORE! 1.7BAR =24PSI

 

 

 After the rebuild and breakin we put the Z on the dyno for tuning and spun a rod bearing..at only 1700 miles... The culprit was a manufaturer's defect from Z1. They used the wrong rod in cyl #1 and it threw off the balance thus causing utter chaos inside the engine and almost 2 more months later..

 

^ What was left of the bearings

 

^The bad rod

^ The damage it caused on the crank..

 

 ^How the car sits as of today after spending Z1s so generously provided store credit on Tein coilovers and AMS max flow exhaust manifolds 

 

Low ridin!!

 

^New lowered setup + speedbump= needing a new front chin on an already messed up front bumper

^My new favorite photoshopped picture

1st rebuild..old news..The Z is done!! Breaking in the engine now and toying around with all the new stuff. Gonna get it dyno tuned soon and then head to the track. Videos and pics are on their way

 

 

Got some night shade and it turned out pretty good

I photoshopd the rims a goldish color in both pics.. can't decide if i like em better than the glossy black, im open to opinions for the rims and the tail light ideas on page 5 

Currently im thinkin about repainting my rims or lookin for some cheap used Work Meisters

Photoshopd the RO_JAs and tinted tails. ehh.. not bad
