also let me share a lil humor :roflpuke2:

STRIKE 1

so i pull in to the body shop, and a young guy goes up to me and says "damn bro nice 350z"

STRIKE 2

he asks me what im doing there, i tell em im picking up my fender trims, he gives me the puzzled look.... so i point him my fronts, his reply "o nice man those are the ones from ebay right?" :shakes head:

STRIKE 3

as im walking out holding the rears walking to my z.... he goes, "man you shoulda ordered the jdm ones like these, im pretty sure they make em for your z"

i was so :shakes head: the whole time i didnt even wanna explain to him that they were in fact the real ones from japan and not the ones that you cut to length from ebay :rolleyes:

At least he was close.
I once had 2 guys walk by my car (i was driving real slow in a parking lot looking for parking) and as i passed by them i heard one guy "dude look at the white car! Its badass!!!" So of course i was proud.. Till his friend says "i know! Thats one badass eclipse" now mind you. There was no eclipse near me or in that small parking lot. Im sure my facial expression was priceless.. Lol

alright guys... a lil update.... i have everything ready for my box... but my shop has been insanely busy, so busy that sometimes i have to work 7 days a week just to meet deadlines, thats one big reason why i barely go on and post on here :( so no time to pull seats and build my sub box :(

anyways so jay (EVO-R) emailed me and said the yuki of DAYTONA RACING JAPAN is on island wanted to meet me... he told me that they specialize in building high performance z's and tuning them. I was so excited to meet this guy you guys have no idea, i was so excited that my poor judgement led to a gash in my from bumper :( this was from the damn steep decent from the parking lot, i wanted to back up but it was to late so i just scratched my underside slowly... no cracks so im still ok :tup:

i get down and meet with yuki keep in mind i just worked a 8 hour shift full blown welding all day so i smelt like slag and grinding discs :bowrofl: he asks to see my car, i take him to it and even before we get to it, he just says RED ONE lol.... sweet jesus guys he was so happy more importantly i was so happy from all the compliments he told me about my z.... he noticed ALL of the lil details in my z and that absolutely made me so freaking happy i mean i live on an island where the tuner scene is made outa 240's and hondas so no one really knows about our z's here... i always get the nice z man.... which is ok but i really appreciate it when they notice what ive done to it... not just them thinking i bought it like that.

i especially loved how yuki and his wife would radomly point out the brands on my z... :happydance: amuse... carbon signal.... mines... volk.... j-next ....greddy.... and so on, this guy was checking the perfection of the gaps of the fenders and everything on it... i could really tell he was passionate and how he appreciated how much work i put into it. I think he was tryna to see if guam had a chance to establish a tuning shop from daytona racing, he asked me how many z's were here, how many actually modified them and so on

sorry if my story is kinda spastic and im just throwing everything out there... im just really happy i met this guy, and for the first time in my life owning my z i finally met someone who appreciated all the work i have put into her... with the exception of all of you in here that read my journal and compliment my progress :D i just get tired of hearing damn man this is the nismo version right? (reason why i debadged that stupid emblem and sold my nismo license plate frames) or how people around here break their necks with hondas and dont even flinch when they see my z at a meet because they think its stock :(

anyways merry christmas to all you guys :tup: ill start modding next year again :D
