SIMOTA1's journal....
 
SUP everyone... i didnt really know about the journal thing lol... soooo i figured id start now.... and give everyone a crash course of my ride since im starting a lil late on this... ok... sorry if some of my picture quality is crap... but anyways... i purchased my 370z april 2009 she is a baseline.... solid red 6MT.... the reason for me purchasing a baseline was because the dealer on Guam... said they were bringing in only ONE RED 370z and it was baseline... no other RED 370z's were going to be shipped in.... so i jumped for it....i found out later on that this was all a lie.... its september now and there are about 4 other SOLID RED 370z and one sport..... if i would have known that a sport was coming in i would have waited... but the dealer said it wont be coming till 2010... wat an *******.... anyways.... here we go

here are my only stock photos of my z.....

What type of sealant/silicone brand you use to re-seal your headlights after painting it, and how and when you apply it? Any problem so far?b
Assuming it was a DIY. :)

J/k


Looks great dude! At first I wasn't sure about the blacked out handles, but seeing your pics, I think it looks great on SR! After my blacked out fangs. (with a little help from your DIY :) ) I did rear valence as well, using the bleubatmobile overlay. And once again, your
DIY was usefull (this time the 7$ one). Thanks and keep up the good work! What's your next mod going to be?

^^^ when i first read the first line i was like wat an *** hole lol THANKS MAN!!! i was gona color match them but like.. i thought it would look like a big red bump only so i wanted to stress out the whole black and red theme hhaha.... your welcome man i made those threads to help out everyone... my next mods are LOL a oil change... my z has been runnin slugish already cuz the oil old and yah.... no more decking the car for a while.... but on the real... my next mods cross your fingers guys... is

Royal Purple fully sunthetic oil
K & N gold oil filter
Kics magnetic drain plug
Filter Mag oil filter shield thing
STILLEN 26 core racing oil cooler
STILLEN power steering oil cooer
INJEN CAI black version....
Channel the air from the fang inlets to the holes where the G3 stillen intake go through... help force in cold air to cool off the motor (inspired by mod shack..)


Hopefully like i really really hope that i am able to get the stillen parts and injen intakes while i do my first oil change.... i already have everything above those parts lol cuz they were cheap.... now all i need is about a grand and maybe 400 bucks more and ill have everything i need lol :shakes head: i have about 600 more miles before the 3000 marker for fully broken in and change oil time.... hopefuly i make enough overtime so i can order the rest of the items i stated above if it happens ill be a really happy camper!!! hahah
