zed32 running update

[Zedx32]

The other day I went out to take some pictures of the Z, its good to remind myself how much i love my car. I think i'll be periodically updating this thread with some of the stuff i do. Everything ive done recently is small, but next step is the Powertix rear flares and hopefully some engine bay dress up.

We'll start with my favorite pic of the day.



Next is my Italvolanti Imola steering wheel. momo and Nardi being the most popular high end steering wheels, Imola is a much smaller company. They made a couple special steering wheels for special edition cars like the Gt Apex AE86. i really like it, steering wheels are neat.



Next up are the brake calipers, i had them off changing brake pads so i decided to paint them. But instead of the standard red, blue, or day-glow yellow... i went with something a bit unconventional.



Finally my armrest. When i bought the car it needed all kinds of body work and paint, but the interior was really nice. No ripped seats or anything like that. Except the armrest was all kinds of broken for some odd reason, so i patched it up with the same 3M urethane repair kit that i used on the front bumper. First i recovered it in black vinyl but it looked cheap so i tore that off. I ended up finding some seat covers for my mom's old VW beetle, so i cut em up. It came out pretty nice and i get more compliments on it and then I care to mention.

Ambit, they're just inexpensive cast wheels. they look good tho

Well more small things i've done over the past few months. the flares still haven't been painted but my Stillen GTZ front lip is in the mail, super excited for that.

First on the list are my clear corner lights. I absolutely hated the Stock turn signals but the Nismo corner lights that i wanted were 130$ for only the left one, i couldn't even find both for sale. So i dropped a crippling $30 on the grey eBay corner lights and i have to say i'm extremely surprised with how good they look.

Next up is tint, 20% all around and 5% on the T-tops. 200$ and the shop did an outstanding job. I've seen a lot of cars with tint that looks awful so i did a lot of looking around. I also bought 2" extended forged steel lug nuts. For some reason i had a problem with my cheap lugs backing off and i almost lost a wheel on the highway so i decided good lugs was a necessity.



Finally my Nardi. I didn't need it but the deal was irresistible, 125$ from a local guy with a Rolls-Royce. It came with this really cool box that has Japanese/Nippon import stickers on it. he said he bought it from a guy with an R32 who had everything for his car imported from japan. Pretty neat story and steering wheels are still neat.



And Thats how she sits currently. ill update again when i finally get the flares and lip on.
