Looking good Adrian!!! Now get on those Rims we talked about so we can be matching. As the song goes..." Ebony, Ivory, living in, harmony..." lol

Johnny - funny you should mention that....

 

Looks great man! Nice area and nice clean G! Let's see those after shots now.

 

black out your headlights trust me, it makes our IP's stand out soooo much more. im interested to see what you have in store...

 

Hehe... GOod memory Clement. My original plan was to keep the stock wheels until I needed new tires... I figured it would be at least a couple year and / or 20K+ miles before I would need new tire, but alas, here I am at 10K miles and my rear tires are virtually blald (less than 2/32 tread left), so that means it's time for new wheels!

Thanks, Johnny. I never really liked white cars and never thought I'd actually own one.. when I started looking at G's I originally wanted a OB one, but the more I saw the IP's, the more I fell in love with them. Plus, will all the sun we get here in SoCal, there is a big plus to having a white car when you get into it on a hot Summer day.

You really think I can get that much for the springs? Hmmm... now you've got me thinking. LOL... I've actually already got 3 people interested in the springs, but I'll ask a fair price for them... no poitn in trying to gouge any of my fellow G35Driver members.

Thanks, Mark!!!! Just wait and see... Lots of big mods coming in the next month... stayed tuned!

I haven't seen you in forever, Mr. Former VP.. Been working hard I bet!?! When you coming out to a Chino Hills meet again anyway?

Yes! That's exactly the look I'm going for! And that look can soon be yours too.

Yup.. I believe those pics were taken at Bailey Winery. We weren't really there to take pics of the car, but I'm certainly happy that I brought my camera along with me.... not too bad for a basic Sony H10 point and shoot.

Thanks man!! Clean is VERY important too me. I'm too old to draw to much attention to myself anymore. LOL

 

Very clean! Love it!

 

I'm still undecided. Might end up with DPE's instead. I'll send you a PM as soon as I decide!

Thansk man! After shots are still a few weeks away, but I'll definitely post them once I have them.

Headlight AND tailight mods are in the works, but they most likely won't be black... Been talking to Mike at Clearcorners and he's got some great ideas.

Thanks, Alan! That means a LOT coming from you... I've always loved your ride!!!

 

Thats hot. Omg.

 

nice shots adrian

 

never too broke to mod eh? damn, now i REALLY want to see what you have in store

 

Adrian, I absolutely love how your car has turned out.. and still more coming?! I'm really excited to see what you got in store for us..

BTW I am currently saving up for Akebonos too! Can't wait.. maybe sometime end of this year.. I feel the OEM brakes are not up to par to what this car deserves. Are you having them PC'ed?

 

you rubbin in the rear with the 20mm spacers?

 

Where did you buy your spacers from? I'm about to drop my car so i might get some..

 

Thanks!

Yo Robby... Thanks, man! We really need to set-up a team cruise to Temecula and do a full photoshoot! There are so many great, picturesque places to take pics down there... it's absolutely amazing. These pics were taken with regular sony camera, but imagine what a decent photographer could do with a quality SLR!

Thanks, Jason! You need to come to one of the local meets sometime, so you can meet all the guys. FYI... I know of a couple of locals that will be selling their Akebonos in the near future... as good as buying them new, but much cheaper.

Nope, not even close. I'm only running -1.2° negative camber and I still have close to 10 mm clearance. 20 mm spacers are close to flush with the factory sport wheels, but I actually think 25 mm (front and rear) would be a perfect fit. You can actually go as much as 30 mm without rubbing with a little bit of negative camber (i.e. -2°).

I actually did a pretty nice write-up on the wheel spacers about 8 or 9 months ago, so if you search my previous threads, you should be able to find it... but here's the ones I went with:

They've gone up in price a little since I got mine, but they are still pretty reasonable.

Incidentally, I'll be selling mine when I get my new wheels, but I think I've already got 3 or 4 people claiming dibs on them.
