my newsed ZHP better than stock? probably

JohnBlaze · 04-04-2012, 08:48 PM

I bought this with a blown motor

taking her home

then I bought this a month later

then I got this

and then I dropped the car off at RRT in Dulles Virginia and waited patiently.

While waiting I took part in a group buy and got a sweet deal on these

RRT got me the Michelin Pilot Super Sports at TireRack pricing with free shipping woo hoo

I waited some more while Epic Tuning programmed my DME with their tune and more work to stay legit, RPM Motorsports took care of the gauge cluster. I bought a used M3 rear end and the boys welded in the TMS plates and fit it all up. Decided on Borla Midpipes, and they fabricated a magnaflow muffler

Then I got the call SHE was almost done

picked her up today and she's running strong.

It still needs a little work ya know

edit work completed see the windshield wiper fluid reservoir. The mount looks oem with brackets holding. Very robust solution. RRT Fabrication w1n

edit dyno'd today 8/2/2012, not bad for 90+ degree temps

!

I love how you were just like

"So one day I grabbed a ZHP in my spare time, bout' a month later I picked up an ol' S54, sorta just tossed it in there. Took a while to get back to me so in the meantime I couldn't help but purchase ridiculously sick wheels and tires. And um, yeah to top it all off on my way home from the grocery store I had an f'n sweet exhaust fabricated on. Ya she runs pretty good."

Gawd Damn...

yeah, you got it right but it's just a little to big so it's not really in there well. Will probably try to find a slightly smaller one from a e36 perhaps?

The car isn't done yet, in fact I doubt it will ever really be done if you know what I'm saying

So Slow · 04-05-2012, 07:38 AM

great job.

from the looks of the wheels when it was on the flat bed, the previous owner would have a blown motor...
