Yep, well the media makes it seem like Japan is one little place but in actual its a fairly large island and not all hit with snow or earthquake or radiation or tsunami.

. I was down there earlier this month about 200 miles away from Fukushima. Other than conserving electricity (no a/c at hotel lobbies, sections of airport, no driers at washrooms, etc), business as usual in tokyoland.

Last night, I kenchan'd (that's hip for motored, btw

) my Z to our late night softball game. (We lost btw... grrrr). I gave a friend's son a ride in it, he's 19.

This morning, I once again kenchan'd Zena to work, and dropping her off to get clear bra'd (A-pillars, headlights, door handles, door guards) and 3M black CF wrap on the lower rear valence.

Pics when done.

p.s. I decided NOT to go with the clear bra on hood and fenders, as I don't think I can live with the "line" or "edge". On long trips, I'll just place blue painter's tape (what I use to buff/polish anyways), then the OEM leather bra that goes 3" on the hood to protect from chips....

hahaha!!!

yep, painter's tape ftw! actually when i drove to TR the other day in my G, i just kept good distance from the cars infront of me and went with no protection. felt good.

FromG2Z · 06-28-2011, 11:18 AM

^ hehe I figured you'd like that term. I should edit it to say "kenchan'd is hip for motored which is slang for drove"

Yeah as far as keeping good distance, I still do that no matter what, but sometimes on the highway, it's unavoidable to get behind semi's or cars that just go off of the main road into the sides and kick up all these rocks.... Chances are slim, but it's happened to me more than 1x already. And all it takes is that 1 time, then you have a permanent chip arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh

sucks. but glad you caught it in time.

those things are pretty easy to install if you have rivet tool... another tool i need to get down the road... (not for this purpose but a tool to have in general).

wth's with the global shortage of 25mm ichiba spacers?

i like the sound, it's not loud, but you can tell it's not stock anymore. As for power, not sure yet, someone was going to get it'd dyno'd, not sure if they did yet or not.

AlexRaymond19 · 06-28-2011, 08:05 PM

So i pulled up to a stop light today at an intersection that only has a left turn, with 2 lanes merging into one. There is a huge line of traffic so i say screw it and went in the right lane where there was no one. I have the windows down and the music going, enjoying myself, when all of a sudden i head ''HEY!'' I think to myself oh god, what now. Figuring someone was trying to yell at me for ''cutting in line''. So i turn my head hesitantly to the left and see a dude hanging his arms out the window. I turn my music down and say whats up? He replies ''sick car man, let me get a photo'' and i said sure. He took several, and the driver was kind enough to let me into traffic with no issues :-) Kinda turned my not so good say better. Has this ever happend to anyone?
