PurePontiacKid Posted June 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Went on a rittle cruise up to Mt. Charleston just for fun today with the same friend that helped me put my hatch on yesterday and a couple other dudes (one was too wimpy to drive his Z though...) bottomed out here when I pulled into this spot :D lol WAI SO SRS? Yes, I know this has nothing to do with my build thread, but MEH. on another note, the spoiler makes a HUUUUUUGE difference in the way the car drives, even at regular highway speeds!

Skib Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 on another note, the spoiler makes a HUUUUUUGE difference in the way the car drives, even at regular highway speeds! go check out the wind tunnel research at HBZ, IIRC the ZXR tail is capable of putting down 300lbs of down force at speed.

PurePontiacKid Posted June 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 I like how they say they like diversity among Z's, but when someone tries to break the mold from regular ass GC coilovers or a turbo swap or a SBC conversion they ridicule the fuck out of it. If what you're doing to your car isn't approved by the FAA, they don't like it... THEY'RE FUCKING DATSUNS, GET OVER IT. /rant. Quote Link to comment

kaoss Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 That was hot, until that spoiler. Ruins the super low and clean look you had going. Quote Link to comment
PurePontiacKid Posted June 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 lol worry not my friend, that hatch is coming off tomorrow, just wanted to see how it would do on the freeway. It doesn't have struts, it doesn't have any trim, I didn't paint the jam on the hatch so it's still silver underneath, and I can't live without my Handbook on my window! lol Quote Link to comment

metalmonkey47 Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 I'd slap that sucker back on there and throw a big ass airdam on the front. Then put some BRE stripes on it and call it a day. Quote Link to comment
