Here's my work in progress guys. Btw this is my first time using photo bucket so I apologize if you don't see the pictures or if they're far too large as I haven't gotten around to editing yet.

More info on your hatch? What color code? What body pieces (not all are gp sports i think? or isit version select? Say it all)

Needs lowering, dont go for the lame stretch look, just get 18" wheels with bad *** fat rubber front and rear. Lower it.. it'll look serious :P

[donjuanmon]

In case you guys want to have some idea of what the car looked like before. This is a former "pig nose" in which I have no shame! lol

[donjuanmon]

I'll have to post more info on it later as I'll have to head out shortly. The body kit is GP Sports G Four with FRP front and rear wide body fenders that I got from raceonusa.

Yeah it seriously needs lowering and fatter tires. The front's are 225 x35x18 and the rear 275x35x18. I hate how the front sits so far, but it'll be changed shortly. The story is that I bought the rim and tire combo from a local shop the same year the rims came out (2005 i think?) and didn't know much about what size tires to get at the time for an aggressive stance. It'll look serious after a while. I'm in the process of selling my '05 350z right now (working on becoming debt-free...well let's just say that I hate car notes and loans).

I don't remember the paint code. It comes off of the new BMW X6 (a super sporty SUV basically), called space gray metallic.

Below are some pics of the 350Z:

Yeah i know what you mean. Make sure to work on being debt free as number one. I'm the same, I have actually alot of ambition and goals for my car, but I'm taking it all one step at a time. The more you invest in something the more you get out of it, however the more you want the more it costs haha. I'm a bit in the same boat. My priority right now since I finished my car (well major major suspension and brakes work), I am winter storing it and just waiting it out (some stuff I STILL have to sort out), I want to just track it as is, however, my concern really is being debt-free. I advise everyone with that, and I'm as nut as it gets when it comes to cars lol... there are more valuable things we humans should spend money on than cars haha... but in the end if you got extra dough, be my guest :P It's the funnest hobby ever. I really look forward to more pix of your project

[donjuanmon]

Thanks 'bro. I'm glad that it is starting to look decent. I've been upgrading the interior also. It will be a while before it'll be built for speed (turbo, etc) so right now I'm hoping to be able to compete in being maybe an exterior and interior king. There are some people that have really fast 240's in memphis, but as much as I love the adrenaline rush of a high-performance machine...the reality of taking an effect on my wallet is getting to me so I'd like to have somewhat decent mpg.

I love the mpg I get currently and really am thinking about building the ka24de to be between 250hp-280hp. To me that is plenty for that small, light-weight car. One time I was a passenger in a guys 330+hp 240 and it was downright scary! lol I was like WOW! Well it was scary mainly because I wasn't driving. You know how it is when you're driving you know that you're in control but have no idea what the other person is thinking unless of course you've known that persons driving style for a bit.

Anyway, yeah these projects cost money and it's all worth it to me. Like they say, you gotta pay to play! Though being debt-free can certainly be a reality as well. I'll keep you posted.

Whoa Verena Sweet cars, girl. I remember meeting you once a few years back at D1 in Irwindale. Snapped a pic of you and your car. I am going to need to dig up some old photos. Welcome to NICO and I hope you enjoy your stay. If you email me a bio, some photos and a short story on your car, we may be able to get you a spotlight on the homepage.

Here is my ugly racecar...
