youd be surprised how much useless space the stock engine takes up. DOHC heads are HUGE.

Well, while waiting for my stuff to get in I decided to roll my fenders. Now you can only roll the fenders so much before you run into issues with paint cracking...however in my case I want as much room as I possibly could. So my body guy told me to just roll them and do whatever I had to do and he will go in smooth, and repaint the quater panels. So I went to town with the fender roller completely flattening the fenders. If you notice on the pics the fender sticks out a little bit past the rear bumper. Thes either going to push that part back in a little bit or pull the bumper out..with how much pressure I put on the fender roller it seemed to slightly(2-3mm) pull the fenders out and actually looks really good. When I bring it to him hes going to see if he can get a few more out of it before getting into major body work..any little bit helps. Heres the pics:**sorry for the shitty cell phone pics**

Heres the fender roller in action(its for sale now..210$shipped in great condition with all hardware and instructions)

You can see how far up I folded them..I have big tires to fit back there haha

Here you can see what I was talkin about with the fender being pulled out a bit..

Heres the new *** view...it looks so much better with wheels/tires that actually fill the wheel wells..

They can cry all they want. Tell them to feel free to buy a 350z and put an RB26 2.6 L engine in it. lol
