Project FX :: 2009 Infiniti FX35 RWD

Man you ride looks awesome where u did ur halo lights and how mutch it cost you.

The headlights were done by CinCityDesigns, you can look them up online. They charge anywhere from $600-$1200 depending on what set up you wanna do to them.... Appreciate the compliment!

a yo proj did u have a name for ur fx yet? shit is stormed troopered out nice yo

name for my licence plate you mean, if so no! I couldn't settle on something I loved so I just kept it the way it was...

When I first saw this thread I was like "there is somebody else on IS who calls their ride ProjectFX?!"... lol
 
They did it to you too!
AP Racing Big Brake Kit
Front Kit - Black Calipers
2-Piece 14.25" Rotors
Cross-Drilled / Slotted
Rear Kit - Black Calipers
2-Piece 15" Cross-Drilled / Slotted Rotors

Smaller Front rotor. Go yell at them to use a 15.00 front rotor, like what's on the QX56 so it matches in size with the rear rotor!!!

It bugs the heck out of me seeing the rear being larger than the front. I thought they would have "fixed" it for the 09+.
 
There has to be a reason for that right?!

I thought about it! Truth be told, I had a kinda funny reason for not doing it. I'm friends with quite a few Monster Energy sponsored drifters, & I didn't want it to seem like I was being a groupie.. know what I mean?!


thought you were going to get the "MNSTR" plate. :frown: i worked so hard in the thinking department. something i rarely do.

The sales guy (Charles) talked to the engineers and they said to keep the braking bias of the OEM braking system. Because the rear rotor is larger than the front rotor in the OEM setup (IT IS NOT, the front is slightly larger than the rear), they decided to keep the front rotor smaller.

Now that being said, the rotor size isn't everything when it comes to stopping -- yes more friction surface, but the front is a 6 piston and the rear is a 4 piston.

But wait -- the front 6 piston is almost identical (if not smaller) than the rear 4 piston caliper size! The rear pistons are larger than the front! Confused yet? I am.

Brembo, (which I believe owns AP Racing), did their own research (as did StopTech), and found a rear brake kit isn't necessary and leaving it at stock 12 or 13 inches (whatever it is) and stock caliper is fine, and putting a large 4 piston, 15" rotor setup in the front works good with the brake bias of the FX since as in most cars, the braking is in the front.

R&D is expensive for a rear kit due to the eBrake (which is why the AP Racing rear kit cost over $3,000), so both Brembo and StopTech did not create one due to lack of demand.
 
I thihk I saw your ride at the Commons in Calabasas... do you ever go to Starbucks or the Corner Bakery there... I wish I had more time to stop and check out your car in person if it was yours...

I do actually, a few times a week.. There is though an employee at Starbucks whose got a 2nd Gen as well, but with black powdercoated 21" FX50 wheels on it. It's almost always there when I go.

Tough to say which one you actually saw. If you ever see mine though, I'll most likely be in Starbucks or Corner Bakery. I'm almost always wearing a backwards Boston hat, come find me & I'll come out & show you the FX if you want!
 
man its the best FX i saw till now !!

i just wanna know how much did u get the Eibach pro drop kit ??

and also the cat back how much is it cuz now i have borla but i think the sound of the invidia gemini is better ?
