Calin's introduction thread (lots of pictures!!!)

[Calin]

I decided to wrap the dash trim piece in 3M carbon fiber Di-Noc vinyl. I still need to do the plastic trim on the door handles, on either side of the AC controls and the shift knob surround. I'm trying to figure out how to take those pieces off lol. Does anyone here know how?

Looks good!

I would simply press a button and drive over the speed bump

Thank you! I already lowered the BRZ and ordered some spacers for my stock wheels. I think I want to wear out the stock tires a bit before getting aftermarket wheels. I don't think I'll do an aggressive stance like I did on my Z though. I want more of a meaty tire setup this time.

Just so you can see what your car will look like with wheels and tires here's a link to some pics of mine. Same springs, same color..you may choose to run a different size wheel and tire setup but you get a pretty close idea of what it'll look like. If you're decent with Photoshop you can swap the wheels to whatever ones your considering to see what it'll look like first.

Dude you're actually the reason I bought the Sportline springs lol!! I saw pictures of your car before buying mine and knew I had to get the same springs. Plus I had the same springs on my 350Z for a while too and loved them. I love your wheels too. Very nice stance

Hahaha Awesome!! Well I'm stoked with the springs and I hope you are too. I ran sportlines on my Infiniti M35 with 22x10 rears and 22x9 fronts and it tucked rim and rode great. I've always had great results with Eibach and when I used to work for WCC they helped us out on a ton of crazy projects. They have an application for everything! I may play around with some Eibach coil overs in a month or two when they're released just to see the difference in ride, handling, and adjustability. I don't mind a firm ride but there's a point where its overkill for street use.

WRB is a sick color on this car in person isn't it? Everyday I look at the car I'm so happy I chose this color.

I agree on also not minding a little bit of a stiff ride, but not to the point where my butt hurts after a drive lol. I may also switch to coilovers in the future if I want a more aggressive drop, but for now I'm really happy with the Sportlines.

WRB is definitely a sick color!! I first wanted white, but considered WRB since I already had 2 white cars before. Then when I saw WRB in person, I just fell in love with it and had to have blue.

If you start to pucker every time you see a bump coming you know its too harsh!! Lol I agree with the sportlines but I'd love another .75-1" drop but if ride and handling suffer its not worth looking good. Fine balance there...the sportlines do settle a little but not much. On my M35 I thought they didn't settle at all but I measured it after 8 months and it was almost a half inch lower so it takes a little time to reach the long term ride height.

You decide on wheels yet? Any other mods? I'm looking at lip kits and I really like the APR front and sides and rears..want the rear diffuser as well. I think the current ride height may be perfect with the lip installed as you lose another inch of clearance.

I'm not sure yet, but I think I'll most likely get some Enkei RPF1's in either gold or silver. Also, I'd like to get the Greddy Evo3 exhaust. I had the Evo2 on my 350Z and loved it. And I'll be getting a new shift knob soon also. Besides that, I'm not sure yet. I'm sure I'll get a few more mods.
