The hoboG35

[HoboG35]

Loving it ready to see how the wheels look
But first the real question,

Which is faster the GP or the G35?
(i already know the answer lol)

The gp was faster but the g35 is alot more fun.




Wheels sitting comfy.

Next up was changing the exhaust to give it a more sporty sound. Wanted to give it the coupe sound so I grab a hr and a coupe midpipe.

Came out perfect.



So while the weather was being difficult and I was being lazy I decided to start on my retrofits.

Well a full respray will set you back at least 2k Euro's when you let a proper shop do it for you.
Extra prepwork may bring it towards the 2,5k I guess and larger vehicles (SUV/VAN) may even reach the 3k mark

Those aren't atypical prices over here either, outside of getting it resprayed by Maaco / Earl Scheib / somebody's cousin.

Yup, that means my car would never be painted lol

Don't say lol all the time, we get it you're funny...

Stop saying you're a cheap guy, we all started somewere...

Other than that i'm ok with it and you seem to take pride in what you do.
And that's important.

I'm not just funny, I'm hilarious

Ended up scoring some 245/45/18 Yokohama tires with almost full tread for 100.00 so these would have to do for the time being. Got them mounted and they sat in my trunk and backseat for a few days

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

I like where you're going with all of this.....is there more to come?

Next up? Wheels.

I ended up getting some gtr reps (yup reps lol. Hobolife)

Mainly because I love the wheels and originals are 20s and start at 2 grand. This was my first venture into the stance world and I wanted to start mild. Maybe you guys can guide me into the right direction lol

Is it really that bad to get things painted where you are?

Well after the paint came the time for low so I ordered some coilovers. Didn't initiately drop them super low because I didn't even know how to work the Damn things (noob) so I just threw them on and was happy. Got some racelands because I am a cheap and a hobo by nature lol.

After the coils.


Not low enough but it's a start

[Mehowski]

Oooh I like this thread, we don't really get G35s here so I'm interested to see what you do with it.

[HoboG35]

It's usually not $400 here, either.


Out of curiosity, what head unit is that?

It's made by a company called pumpkin. A China based company I'm assuming.

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

Lol, I could ship my car to the states and painting it would still be cheaper than doing it here on the old continent without shipping

It's usually not $400 here, either.

[milano_red]

In for this. I LOVE g35 sedans

[HoboG35]

So after the paint I decided to remove the awful head unit that was in the car.

It was a Walmart brand radio and it was dreadful

So the wife surprised me a with a android based radio that I've been eyeing for awhile. Basically anything you can do your phone I can do on this radio and I love it!


Ok so now until the fun stuff.

My previous car had lowering Springs. But I always wanted coilovers. Just couldn't justify 1500.00 for coilovers on a Pontiac grand prix but this time it was must.

So the plan was coilovers and wheels and retrofits.
