George M built his Vortech-supercharged G35 coupe to participate in Hill Climb events while remaining an adept street car.  To ensure he could come back down the mountain we upgraded his brakes with a Stoptech big-brake kit:

Up front, the OEM Brembo calipers and rotors were replaced with Stoptech’s 380mm rotors 6-piston calipers:

At the rear, 355mm rotors and ST22 calipers. Note how everything still fit nicely behind the factory wheels:

Stay tuned as George will visit us later for power upgrades including a new MAF/injectors followed by dyno tuning.

 




Fog Light Install: Tim’s 370z

At the shop we love to install performance parts but we too can appreciate aesthetic improvements as well. Tim D came in for a rear fog light install. As most 370z owners know, all non-US spec Zs came with a functional, red fog light just below the rear license plate area. US-spec cars however have a “blank” piece in place here but thanks to the aftermarket there are kits available to restore this item.

After proper wiring this “smoked” rear lamp is now functional!

The neat part about this kit is that the light can be tied into the brake, flasher, and turn signals with or without a switch. Got a cosmetic part that needs installation? Let us know if we can help!
