Picked up an 06 6MT Z. drove to Henderson, NV. yesterday.

 

Looks good, aside from that one thing...

 

If the car did not have clear bra and the bumper cover cost a bunch and paint were not expensive I'd replace the bumper cover.

It is shooting air directly to the cai.





I agree, don't like it.

 

nice dam pictures

 

Drove to Henderson in it yesterday.

^Those are big.

 

Love that color, nice pickup.

 

Nice car man. Didnt know you wrecked the CLS. Sorry to hear and glad you are ok.

 

Looks great other than that hole haha. Why did the og owner put that there in the first place? He should of just gotten a CAI and not a SRI

 

suite

 

niceeeee

 

Nice! Love the color and the car. Was your CL-S a 6 speed or auto?

That's a pretty popular mod on the 350Zs. Seen it before, not a fan, but it could be worse, like twin holes lol.

Let me know if you ever want to meet up at Firebird or Speedworld and take it donw the strip. I'd love to run side by side in my Accord and see how close it would be. I'm sure you'd beat me but nonetheless it would be fun.

 

Nice.

 

congrats on the Z, nice color... I just let mine go for an RDX.

And atleast the front bumper inlet has a function... as opposed to walmart hood scoops and vents for decoration (there's alot of those down here).

 

ive seen that Z before. saw it yesterday when i was looking at my new wheels online

also, what happened to your cl-s? i know u had a stroked motor and an auto tranny. one of the only ones that didnt blow up..

glad youre ok

 

Great pics.

 

Love that color

 

Sweet Z... I agree that is a color!

 

concern about rain getting in the hole while driving and the cai sucking it up?

 

I like the hole. It looks alright and best of all, it's functional. Function>form. (Maybe just get black screws instead of silver).

 

First of all he lives in Arizona where it hardly ever rains, but even when it does, the rain isn't going to saturate the filter enough to cause any issues. You need to submerge a filter in water to cause hydrolock, but it will get dirtier being in front of an opening like that. My V2 filter used to sit directly in front of the fog light vent opening until I shortened the intake so the filter sits just above it. Keeps it much cleaner.

 

^ I was about to say that, thanks.

The cl had a freak accident, impossible to occur but did. I am not going into it in the open, it is just what it is. The perfectly running newly engined car is dead, going to Nspec in Houston and now I have this Z.

My main advise is don't heavily mod a car and expect to get one tenth of one percent of your money from insurance.

15k in reciepts added 800.00 to my payout.

 

 

No problem. And I'm serious about the track day.

 

TRADER!!!

Nice pick up though.

 

Cool.

I need to learn the car, I have not had a rwd car in years and that was a 69 Mustang 3at.

Thanks

 

yea. most insurance wint cover unless u tell them the car is heavly modded. i hope u come clean with the story

 

Come clean? Do I owe you something?

I wrecked my car, it was replaced.

End of story.

I picked it up today. Here are the springs it has.




The rear shocks appear to be oem. It rides firm but good. Are these springs ok? I never heard of Espelir.

If they are ok what shocks should I get for them?

 

Chill man, As humans we are inclined to be curious. we just want to know the story, hell you got my interest now.

Soooo, what happened?

 

Not excited just saying I choose to keep the incident to myself.

Make up a story, I'm sure it will be better than what happened.

I believe I have the right to say what I choose about what happened to me online.

 

Fair enough.....


Nice pick up btw.

 

I've heard of Espelir springs before. There's a few Accord guys that have ran them. From what I remember they were a decent spring, no reason to get rid of them if you like the ride/look.

I would personally invest in some Konis. That's the route I'm going with mine someday in the future.

 

I loved the Konis on the CL.

Thanks

 

Hard wired the Valentine & installed the blend mount

 

You need to change your signature

 

No!

 

Fine.

 

Ok I changed it. see if you can find what I changed :P

 

Since when did you own a Benz? jk

I like that mount for the V1 a lot but I don't feel comfortable routing wire through the top.
Are those mounts made just for V1s? or are there ones for Escorts?

 

I have run the hardwire that way for my last 5 daily drivers. No issues.

Yes they make them for Escorts. Make sure your car has a boom between the window & mirror. I originally bought the kit for the Acura CLs and it would not fit.

 

Espelir is well-known in Japan. If you looked at JGTC (Japanese Grand Touring Championship or something like that), most of those cars are running Espelir suspension/exhaust/sponsored by them/etc etc......
I'd say keep the springs!
