Oh look, his bonnet isn't fitted on properly :sweatdrop:

It's not bad. Obviously a lot of work gone into the wheel fitment, but it looks waaayyyy OTT. I hate tyre-stretch. It's dangerous too. The camber/ride height at the rear is too extreme and makes it look like it's ****ed. I like the wheels, but it's too extreme for me. Looks awkward, uncomfortable and a little silly.

 

The rest is nice apart from the popped bonnet.

 

The hellaflush guys are a law unto themselves though. They rave about tyre stretch where the wall is bursting off the rim, stupid amounts of negative camber and rubbing, whereas in actual fact, tyre stretch looks poop generally. Mild stretch is ok on some cars (like the black Z I post photos of). It's kinda unoticeable on that.

he must live near me, so needs to do that for additional cooling. :saddam:

Makes no real difference. I've been in 750bhp Z32s with correctly fitted bonnets in the heat and humidity of the Midwest...no problems. It's not needed, just seen as 'cool' by the drift crew for some unbeknown reason.

It will rub tyres off for fun and it needs strosek arches FACT!:yes:

Agreed. Needs wide arches. I'd get steel ones fabricated like collegeboy's from TT.net the most stunning of all wide arch Z32s I've ever seen.

just noticed the rear spoiler - wtf is that?!

Carbon Fibre lip spoiler made by 'Mission' iirc. Quite rare and hard to get hold of.

nice like it a lot . bonet too . . car has perfect stance .

I don't understand why someone would like a bonnet that doesn't fit properly.

see i like agressive look on zeds and lifted bonnet looks quite agresively . ..

Lifted bonnet looks like it's had a shunt and won't shut properly. Don't find anything aggressive about it. LOL

Nice wheel choice but its far to aggressive for me

Out of interest is it safe or even legal to remove the black bumper section (behind the actual bumper)

you would think that if they going to put all that time and effort in that they would have got rid of the rust on the door sills.

 

and i too agree that i dont like the wheel stance or the bonnet half shut! if the bonnet is never going to be shut then theres no point having a bonnet!

I don't see any issues with it, its there to protect the car more than anything, so in the event of a shunt thats the part that helps to absorb the impact. Without it the front end would just fold away lol.

I quite like it, A bit too much on the wheels though, but the rest is nice, looks like a lot has been spent on it!!

I'm sure this was posted up on DW about a week or so back; if it is the same 'Z' then the guy who own's it lives in the States if I remember correctly

 

Got to appreciate the work involved, very distinct US influance

why dont the bonnet shut ,is there a reason or does the guy like it like that???

They are custom fabricated at HUGE expense. I have photos of the car if you want to see it.

I like an aggressive stance, but thats OTT and the stretch looks like the tyres have popped off the rim. When I first read about it on another site the owner was claiming it to be his "Race/track" car :rolleyes:

Theres no need to have the rear of the bonnet popped up all you need to do to gain the same effect is remove the rubber seal along the back of the engine bay.

 

I like the offset and wheels, but only for show wouldnt like to drive around like that. mine is enough headache as it is.

id like to see some pics of the metal wide arches FunkySi not a fan on the stretched tyres either
