badCOK Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) Well, today some more goodies arrived courtesy of the Postman Some used Eibach / SPC Rear camber arms... Going to give them a clean up and might get them powder coated in orange.... Tyres are starting to see signs of wear given they're 11j and stick out without the camber arms, catching the arch rim every two seconds... Picked up some 370z ARK R Spec Decats from Octet, Pleasure to do business with and excellent packaging (mounds and mounds of bubble wrap to fight through ) Given that my Zed is the HR model, these fit perfectly. Top notch Ark quality as i expected Going to give the bits all a good polish and hopefully fit the whole Ark system and decats within the next month VERY VERY EXCITED :teeth: Edited August 16, 2014 by badCOK 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badCOK Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 *****Exhaust Update***** The sunshine managed to stay out last saturday so my brother and I cracked on with fitting an Ark Grip True Dual that id picked up..... Couple hours of shouting and cursing, half a can of plus gas and two Papa Johns Pizzas and it was finally on. Out with the old.... We thought it would be a nightmare job to do on axle stands, but was a doodle thanks to the Plus Gas lubricant. And how she sits at the moment... Got the MOT next month, so once thats done ill get the Ark R Spec Decats fitted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhackyWill Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 The Ark really sets off the rear, as Mark said a Bumper Tuck to show it off properly. :thumbs: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badCOK Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) Small little update.... Had planned to remove the Nissan Badges and 350z badge from the front and back of the car, I'm a massive fan of a completely debadged car. After checking out a few guides on this, realised that it leaves a recess on the front and those two annoying holes at the back.. So i thought id take the badges off and spray them black. Not a fan of the Z Burger badge that you can buy. Liked the look so much that i think I'm going to keep the badges and avoid getting the holes filled! And the rear.... without the '350z' badge... Got the arches rolled by Paul from Arch Enemy too..... excellent job. Rolled them far enough to stop the 11js rubbing all the time, but has maintained the arch strength. Couldnt recommend enough! Meant that i could take the car to Wales and thrash it as much as i wanted without worrying about the arches! Went with my two brother in their cars and my nephew too. An E46 M3, Audi RS4 and an Mx5 thats so wide its ridiculous! Ill stick some pics up when i can Edited November 7, 2014 by badCOK 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers man! trying my best pretty sure from memory, that they're 265s on the rear. with a 40 Profile.....and a slight stretch... Must be all that stretch that makes them look so fat then. Honestly thought they'd be wider. I'm running 275's on the rear currently in 19" and love the wide rear tyre look. Zed's looking great Paul so keep it up.

Its coz the rear rims are 11J wide.....think the standard rays are 8.5 or 9j....so in effect my rims are 2 inches wider than the rays.....4 whole inches wider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine are 10.5J on the rear, ET20. I'm actually considering moving on to 285's on the rear & 255's on the front when I need to next change tyres. I don't want to upset the handling though so more research is needed first although it's actually cheaper would you believe to get the 285/35/19 tyre than a 275/35/19. Weird.

Forgot how upset and sad doing that makes me feel í ½í¸¢ Does suck when that time comes. When the time comes for my Zed I think I'm going to sell mine pretty much as is because it's such a shame stripping off all the mods, ...and also because I sold off all the standard parts I took off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
