Thanks! Did you test fit it? The one issue I see with this is it doesn’t list the bolt pattern size and off the top of my head I can think of 4 pretty common ones (114.3 x 5 which I think is ours and probably the most common with cars, 112x5, 120x5 and 100x5).
They are findable, eBay probably has some right now for sale. A low mileage example after all shipping and sales tax should run you around $600 to $800. I paid just over $700 all in from a eBay seller. If you can find a local seller maybe around $400 to $600, especially if you got cash!
I went with the automatic transmission exhaust. The sound is much better than what came from factory on my manual performance. The best way I can describe it is using our stereos as a analogy. The manual exhaust is an 8, you can hear it but it’s a bit quiet and at higher speeds would be hard...
Where are there electric Recaros? Would it be the old Juke ones or find another OE option from another brand to splice into? For me I’m thinking about the NISMO ones for a simple plug and play option (I don’t care about the power option but would like heated seats). However, I have the blue...
Definitely a good idea! The seats bottoms bug me most to all of the time, but I could tolerate it if the seat back was a little better. I just feel like I’m sitting on the seat instead of in it at times. My daily IS350 seats feel like they hug me much more than the Zs. Sometimes it’s just...
Very interesting! How did it bolt up? Do the Miata brackets fit the Z’s holes or did you get a universal bracket and if so which one? Also do they all connect for the seat occupancy and air bags? I’m not sure on the Miata seats but the GR86 and BRZ I’d be very interested in as they really...
Alright, so I’ve just done or am doing basically everything on this list! I just had the NISMO coilovers and sway bars put on yesterday. Definitely worth it in my opinion! My local dealer priced matched the best online retailer (wouldn’t do eBay where where you could find slightly cheaper)...
I just put on the A/T axleback today and I’m going to add the A/T mid pipe on my M/T performance. It isn’t that it’s way to loud (maybe just a little), I just find the drone to harsh from 2000 to 3000 RPMs, over 3k it actually seems to mellow out nicely. Plus I noticed the sound made the seat...
I find that with the seat too, if I get my butt back against the seatback it’s pretty good. The back of the seat doesn’t bug me too much, it is a little tight on the shoulders but overall fine. Waist wise a 36” gets a little loose after an hour of it stretching out so a little smaller in the...
Thanks for the good info! I plan on bringing my son and stopping at Dollywood for a day as well, maybe even Jack Daniels since it’s on the way! Possibly even slipping down to Atlanta and Z1 for fun!
Completely agree on the angle part! If I push my lower back into it I notice it gets better, also if I have my foot all the way into the clutch at times it get worse. I’ve found if I’m cruising on the highway using cruise control I can get into a fairly comfortable position. However, I’ve only...
The best way I can describe the seats in my 2024 performance are Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde! Sometimes I get in and I like them and feel comfortable, other times not so much, and once in a while during a drive it goes from one end to another and even back within 15 minutes! They aren’t terrible...
Update on the steering part, I see Z1 has solid steering rack bushings, anyone have any experience with these? I’m very tempted but worried about excessive NVH. I don’t mind getting a little bit more if it means a more talkative rack but don’t want to make it something I’ll dislike. Here is...
Really good to know! Do you happen to know the spring rates for the NISMO coilover set they sell now in the states? I’d be curious too on who makes them as they can’t be super high end since they can be bought around $1500.
