Alex Datsun Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Yeah sunny from performance options he's running 15x9's with 195's up front and 10's with 205's out back. The front are rolled but the rears are pulled quite so a roll would be just the tip of the ice berg lol. Quote Link to comment
TRsome Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 So a bit of a small update... although not many pics. I'll take some when I get the car back next week. MSA Headers and Twice pipes are on... although they need to be modified by a muffler shop so the pipes don't sit so low. New rear lip wing is on. Fender mirrors are on. New dash cap installed. Just received word my wheels are coming in first week of June! Car is currently in the shop getting the flares professionally installed. I'm scared of cutting the fenders and fucking them up beyond repair. Despite all these major changes in the last few weeks, my favorite part just came in: New Shift Knob! :cool: 1 Quote Link to comment
troyt Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Love the shift knob! and the Z is lookin' good too.. Here's another BumbleZ that belongs to a buddy of mine. Quote Link to comment
TRsome Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Ok. A bit of an update: The shop that was installing my flares wanted me to come down and look at it after they bolted it up to make sure it looked ok before they cut it. I was a bit concerned that the rear was mounted too low for my future tires to clear.. so we both decided it would be best if I bring it back next week with my wheels and go from there. Anyways.. here's some pics: The fender mirrors are actually surprisingly functional. Had a muffler shop re-run the pipes on the MSA Twice Pipes and had them mount the tips vertical while they were at it. (protip: the original kit fits like shit) I'm actually pretty happy with how they turned out. They also sound pretty amazing.. but definitely loud. Threw on the new wing. Just a bit taller than the last one. Also just got confirmation that my wheels are coming in end of next week! Gotta get some tires lined up and get those fenders cut still though.

Alex Datsun Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 yo what muffler shop did you goto and how much did they charge? Quote Link to comment
TRsome Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I'll have to look up the name. They're down in Fremont right near Dando Automotive. I had him bring it over to the muffler shop after they finished doing some other stuff on my car. I think it was somewhere around 200ish. Quote Link to comment
Alex Datsun Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 yeah fudge-ma-cake that ill just do it myself or find a cheap place in the city. Looks good so far, when should your wheels be arriving? Quote Link to comment
TRsome Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Cool deal. I don't have the technical skill to do any kind of welding so I'm forced to pay more than you guys. It might have been cheaper.. I have to check the receipt in my car. They're tracking to land in LA on monday.. and the guy said he would same day ship them to me. Hoping by Thurs. or Friday they'll be in my hands. Quote Link to comment

TRsome Posted June 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Stopped by Japan Town today and picked up some inspiration: Quote Link to comment
TRsome Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Ok so.... I know it might be a waste of money.. but I really wasn't happy with the fitment on my current flares (zccjdm if you're wondering) so I ordered some flares that are more commonly used in hopes that they fit better. (MSA) I've heard bad things about the MSA fitment, which is why I shelled out the extra cash for the zccjdm flares, but to be completely honest, these MSA flares already feel like better quality. The picture might be blurry, but I'll update again once I can mock them up with the car. Quote Link to comment
Alex Datsun Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 thats pretty lame since ZCC be boasting ridiculously about their products, not to mention overpriced like nobodies business. How bad is it compared to the MSA flares and what are you doing with the old ones? Quote Link to comment
TRsome Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 On the zcc flares, I get some pretty major gaps between fender and flare in the front. Some big enough I can stick a finger through. I looked around, and really couldn't find any images of anybody else running them. I've never seen these gaps when people are running MSA though, so I thought I would give it a shot and just sell whichever flares fit worst. Quote Link to comment
TRsome Posted June 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Fuck. Somebody needs to talk me out of buying these: http://forums.club4a...hread?id=108201 1 Quote Link to comment
Rustbucket Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Dear lord, I'd buy 'em in a heartbeat if 14's would clear my brakes. Do us all a favour and purchase these so they end up on a cool car and not some decrepit piece of trendy shit! Quote Link to comment
akumazedex Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 You want those wheels, I mean those are sick, wait.. Those would look awesome on your Z.. Hmmm I'm no good at this lol.. GET THEM! Quote Link to comment
