Я много смотрел битых zdx на аукционах, могу сказать что они по каким то причинам не дешево идут, больше $12К+ не совсем в гавно разбитые

Some more news of the project

I had to throw out lithium Voltphreaks battery because of poor capacity and inflation issues. Therefore we nicely relocated the battery into the trunk and this time its a normal AGM battery by Deka, works perfect so far



The other update is that we had to decrease the boost because of misfires that were constantly popping up at 6000+rpms. So now we have 310awhp (about 410 crank) and no more misfires.




And lastly some nice interior mods are comming in a couple of weeks, including brown alcantara roof and black leather dash

Про жару я охотно поверю! А вот с бампером идея хорошая, т.к. совсем без 'характера'. Че думаешь по поводу дизайна переднего от 2013+ Lexus GS350 Fsport? Думаю будет не плохо

мне дизайн лексуса вообще нравится. если бы на момент покупки zdx у них в линейке было что-то яркое то я бы взял лексус

а с бампером проблема в том что качественно сделать кастом-бампер непонятно где и кучу денег заломят но идея давно обдумывается))

Hey Sandro, how are you? Do you still own the ZDX? I imagine by now you're aware that ktuner exists and can likely tune your car with more ease than the previous setup. Have you made any updates to the Z?

hey) sold it a few months ago. final stable setup was around 450hp with meth injection. new owner has no problems so far)
as for me, i have had enough of deep tuning, hopefully only wheels and exhaust and some body styling from now on
