I will be when it is finished color sanded and buffed.
It did turn out a little darker than the 370z I saw. I'm guessing because I went a little heavier.

Back to sanding.

Way to bring her back from the dead. The paint work looks great. I'm getting ready to paint mine as well. You gonna do anything else besides new wheels? IMO stock body lines don't do 20b's justice (especially with the kind of power your making).

I wanted the Shineauto Burnout kit. Budget it tight right now, so I just added the rear flares. I can paint and add the rest when the time comes.
Upgrading the diff & axles is priority now.

Not to hi-jack but I took pics of me personal molding my Pettit Flares with side skirts. I will start a thread in a few weeks when everything else is done.

I forgot, not upgrading these things b4 is what caused you the accident right?

I should have it on the road soon.
I picked up a set of PF01's and new drag radials.
I just need to paint the rims Gunmetal or maybe Bronze.


I also should have the ford 8.8 swap in by the end of summer.
Now I have a little bird chirping in my ear to sell him my turbo and buy a GT47.

Thanks guys, it has been a slow process rebuilding it.

The turbo is a monster, it weighs 58lbs. and was bigger than expected. I almost went with a Forced Induction FI-88X. My buddy has a EZ-94x on his Camaro and he loves it, but he also has 400 cubes.

Still need to get the axle shafts from the Driveshaft Shop. The 8.8 diff is ready to go with all fresh parts. I went with 4.10 gear, but may end up switching to 3.73's.
I should have enough injector for 1000rwhp. I was at 70-71% duty cycle on my 810 run. I do hope the 3 fuel pumps are enough.
I really just want to drive it again. It will be a year in Oct. sense the accident.

I may get the racelogic traction control. Ken's white FD(LUV94RX7) in the background has one and it works well.

I am running 2 bosch 044's, and a Apex-I BNCR33 all intank.
Wheels are 18x10.5 +38mm offset with the Burnout flares. Tires stick out about 2-3mm past the flare.
