^^^

there's a pink that's destroying supras now...

seen it with ma eyes...then seen it destroy a C5 Z06....

then proceed to burn tires at like 70-80mph...

shiet was unreall...

about the SCCA thing a few of us participate in it...

[definitionxmk]

^I've been thinking about it... but I might use my 350 instead of the 370 during those events. However, it's a good thing to consider...

[definitionxmk]

Yeah, i've seen some crazy builds on those civics. But at the end of the day, I know I could have made an even more badass civic with all the money I put in my 2 Zs!

Save yourself some money with a base + sport 370 and mod to your tastes. Unless you really like the body work/rims, then go for it. But if its just the 'performance' you want - think about what i suggested.

I agree that they can be fast as hell, but they are rare and cost more than the boy racer and F&F crowd can afford to mod i think. I dont think those cars are DDs either; more or less project cars. At the end of the day though, its still a civic parked in the garage. Then again, its still a car enthusiast doing what he finds fun and interesting behind the wheel. As a fellow driver/enthusiast, were all the same. Its just the younger crowd that tends to throw the curve balls. Heres how you can tell the difference: If you worship the supra or the skyline GT-R and think its the most bad *** car in the world and can desroy anything on 4 wheels with no exeption... your a ricer.

Too much?

(Disclaimer: They ARE amazing cars, but they arent the end all be all. They do represent the peak in import tuning - cant take that away from them)

I thought about the Nismo and would have not regretted anything if I bought it... I already knew I was going to go FI and wanted to start fresh. If I got the Nismo, I would not even mod it at all. That's just me... if you get it, more power to you!

Color?

[Kingbaby]

black...

it's either move up to the 370z or boost past it...

[definitionxmk]

Get it. Haha

[IMWEZL]

Yep the pink little hatch. For a second I thought I shifted into reverse.

[Kingbaby]

lmao...


we needs to meet this friday...

[definitionxmk]

Wish I could go... Then again, I just wish I can drive my car(s)

[definitionxmk]

So... anyone interested in the Amuse? Even if you can't get it now, would any of you guys consider it in the near future (later this year)? Thinking about setting up something with Shine for the CF Accent Amuse for 4th quarter 2011 so we can do bulk shipping.

Just throwing it out there

[Kingbaby]

[370zHawaii]

Since this is a chat thread....must say...thank you to Kamu for installing the new exhaust and the sways. Thanks for your time and care in making sure that everything went smoothly and as best as it could.

Just got to figure out how to resolve that slight issue with the flanges.....dammit. Wonder if it got warped from shipping or just wasnt welded on correctly. Anyone know of any good gaskets to fill in a slight gap?

Also...my gosh. The 3.7 engines have a much more prominent after accelerating hissing sound than the 3.5 versions did. Thought it was just me...but after going on you tube and checking other 3.7 versus 3.5 aftermarket exhausts...it looks like the 3.7 is just louder in that department.
