My boys at Mackin Industries- the US Volk Wheel distributor just sent me pics of a set of 19X8.5″ Volk Progressive TEs on a Acura TL. The car is lowered on Tein Coilovers and runs a 235/35/19 tire with no rubbing. So, for you Acura owners out there that thought it was going to be hard to run big wheels, think again, Volk has a solution for you.
I think this is the first Infinit G35 i’ve posted, and the owner sent a nice email about the car. Instead of posting a standard spec sheet, I think i’ll let Cassidy tell you more about his car.
”Well, I have an 06 Infiniti G35, thats right, the G ride baby.. Anyways, I’ve been slowly modding it when i have the money.. Since i’m a full time college student my car has been on the back burner… But my first mod was an Injen Intake which i modified to prevent hydrolock.. Once the mod was on, i took my car out to the track to see what changes had occurred.. I ran a 14.0 at 100 mph (stock was 14.5 at 97mph)
After that i got the MREV kit and high flow cats which was a noticeable gain across the entire power band.. Only complaint about the HF was that i lost some low end torque which the G really needed, and it seemed to be burning oil.. So i went to a thicker oil and it helped out. At the track it really helped unlock the motors potential.. With the intake, MREV, and cats, i ran a 13.8 at 104mph. So with a little motor work done, i decided to make my G stand out from the rest of the 350GT’s out there. I orered a set of DB Volk GT-Cs, JDM clear corners w/ HID lights, Top Secret Hood, Stillen Sway Kit, and still waiting on the ARC Strut Brace.
For the future i want to get, the kenstyle body kit, HKS Hi-power exhaust, UTEC, Tein Coilovers, and the Seibon TS Hood… Once thats done ill try to save up fro the real power… F/I!!! Well i can dream”
