Ok, well I thought I'd compile a short timeline of what I've done so far...gotta excuse the Ipod pics, I'll get some better ones I promise...

Picking the car up from the dealer...



Got it home, then completed 1ST MOD...PINSTRIPE GONE



Then went ahead and completed 2ND MOD...20% Tint all around




Then I went to Afghanistan and started riding in this...


Came back on R&R and then 3RD MOD...19'' Coupe Rays



And then I paired them with my 4TH MOD...350Z Eibach Sportlines with 350Z KYB struts





I've got some other goodies that I'll have completed before I go back to Afghan, so stay tuned!!

Good progress! Look forward to updates! Thank you for your service

 

Coupe 19s, my favorite OEM wheel for these cars. Look SO good. I do miss my 05 on them... so fresh and so clean..

Good work man. You are doing well so far!!

 

Good start!!

 

Bought some parts and finished up my 5TH MOD...picked up new Q-Clips and a new Yakima fairing and installed my old roof rack onto the G. Haven't put the bike attachments yet because I won't be biking anytime soon till I get back home for good...






Also got a better pic of my rear wheel fitment...


And went ahead and got an alignment...



Camber 2.4 Avg in the front and 3.6 in the rear...toe back in spec...all this without any camber kits...I'm pretty happy that I was able to get the toe back in spec without any extra parts, and as far as the camber, I had more adjustment in the rear to go to 2.5, but the fenders were resting on the tire, so until I get a better fender roll, I'll be rocking the 3.6 neg camber...

Also picked up an used NRG strut bar from a local guy for a great price, can't wait to install that as well!!

bye bye tires lol

 

amazing the diff lowering a car makes

 

Why do you say that lol? I've ran my old S13 and my xB2 with more rear camber and the tires were fine as long as I flipped them regularly. We all now toe is a tire's arch nemesis, and mine is in spec!

Found some time and installed my 6TH MOD...used NRG strut bar...




And I buckled and had to find a way to play my iPod in my car, so a trip to Best Buy resulted in my 7TH MOD...



This is just a temporary solution until my headunit goes out, then the JDM double din unit will go in with some Pioneer gear...

But that's about it...the car will probably stay like this till I get back home for good, but until then my wifey will be driving it around town along with her 4Runner...


Emanuel

 

I dont think 05-06 had a problem with head units.

 

Car looks sick! Keep it up

 

what size tires are you running in the rear?

 

In spec is a lot different then say ZERO TOE. Your tires are still going to wear at a higher rated, then if your toe was at ZERO. A little toe is ok but .27 degrees is high to me. I tend to like my toe in the .09 and under for a DD.

 

245/40/19...

I get what you're saying and I totally agree, I would've loved to get to under .09 total toe too, and I'm still planning on getting the SPC rear camber/toe kit when I get back home for good. I was just surprised that the toe was in spec due to reading everybody's stories about how the smallest drop put everything out of spec on their car...

nice bro.. keep it up and be safe over there boss
