Yeah, i stopped by. A lot of new people in the VQinc group... Saw you out there driving by. Pretty hard to miss a black nismo =)

XLR8SN 06-29-2012 06:30 PM

Opps. Well glad that the group still gets together and hangs a bit. :tup:

Did some errands and stopped by this dead end for a shot with my 5D Mark III =)

XLR8SN 07-01-2012 02:38 AM

Cool shot. Kunia side? Looks like the area near the Target Kapolei store.

Yup...A LOT of NATURAL light. Thats why every house there needs to have an air conditioner.....LOL. Its hot out there.

Then again, guess it better at times versus raining right after you wash your car.

New to the Z crowd just bought mine in april and have a lot of plans for her. Some of u military guys might've seen her around schofield. Probly the only one with mirrored tint, other than that she dont stand out much besides being a Z. I'm interested in going to some the car shows and meets just to see what other people are running and bounce some ideas off of y'all on here as well as at the meets. have a few wild and crazy ideas already just dont know the island well enough to get what I want done. I'd like to go to the next meet or even meet up somewhere else just to chill. Have a lot of downtime since I'm tryin to keep my money in my car.

XLR8SN 07-02-2012 05:08 PM

Well.....anyone thats looks for a set of Advan RG-D's in black...got one sitting in my office still in the boxes...:p One mod for someone whos looking.

You got all four? How much?

definitionxmk 07-02-2012 09:06 PM

Wait, what? Those are the only other set of wheels that I want =) offsets?

XLR8SN 07-02-2012 09:30 PM

19X10.5 +15 and 19X10.0 +35

BajaZ 07-04-2012 10:56 PM

hey definition, you said you got the lip for the wing here in japan? .. i want to start looking for it :P

Sams370z 07-05-2012 02:46 PM

Has anybody heard about what's goin on with the spocom show this Saturday? I've been keepin tabs on the website, which says stay tuned for more info but there's never anything new. I'm not trying to enter my car, being that it's stock, I'm just wondering what the ticket prices are like or if there will be any decent Z's to go drool over. Im sure it'd be fun regardless but I'm mainly lookin for new ideas for my baby. Are any of you guys gunna be there? Is there a possibility of a meet afterwards? Besides installing my spoiler I've got nothing to do this weekend.

definitionxmk 07-05-2012 02:47 PM

yeah, sunline racing... it's pretty pricey but if you can find it, it's all you mang.

I haven't heard anything but I know a few of the VQinc guys are entering. I know there won't be a 370 there at all as I'm usually the only one that enters... I really hope I get proved wrong! It would be nice to see an Amuse or a Zele Z in there =)

Check out the VQ I.N.C. page on facebook for their meets and stuff... recently, a member and good friend of mine passed away on the 1st (last sunday) so folks are kinda sensitive still. But if you want a 370 meet and greet, I am down!

XLR8SN 07-05-2012 04:15 PM

Sorry to hear about your friend. My condolences. Best wishes to the family.

Checked out the VQ inc page. Guess they had a meet yesterday but I was at the concert on Schofield all day. I'm sorry to hear about ur friend as well. If they need anything to help the banner get to his family quicker I'd love to help.
A 370 meet would be awesome, the only 370 owners I know are in my battalion. Ones a female chaplains assistant who likes her sports pack the way it is, the other guy has a '10 the exact same color as mine. Dont know him too well tho. Just name the time and place or we can meet up at the next VQ inc meet.

Sams370z 07-05-2012 04:59 PM

Also is there a shop you would suggest I go to to get this spoiler mounted? I don't have the tools to do it myself and I know the dealership will probly charge me double because I didn't order it from them.

definitionxmk 07-05-2012 06:43 PM

Well, right now I hear GX Auto is good. They just take a long time. I personally go with Aiea Collision but they are pretty pricey. I'm currently using another guy (insurance claim) and I'll see how well his shop goes. Kuroda Auto Body is the name and I hear nothing but great things about them.

How about a meet at the end of the month? or maybe earlier than that. I also want to see what's the best time for people. VQinc likes to make the meets on thursdays and I know a lot of people (including me) have work early in the morning which makes thursdays really hard. Fri or Saturday? Or even a day meet would be good for me.

Potential dates:

Jul 13-15, Jul 20-22, Jul 27-28. Weekends. Fridays, 7-8pm at least. Sat-Sun all day I'm free.

Ok well let me know how that shop does. Not looking to pay dealership prices for this install.

I'm down any time. This weekend works for me, well pretty much every weekend works for me. I'd even be down for a weeknight meet even its just to get together for a meal and to talk cars. No day meets on weekdays for the most part, unless I happen to have that day off. Just the name the time and place.

Yea, I'm in the army so I could go to the shop. The thing is the spoiler didnt come with any install instructions, I guess I could do it by eye but I dont wanna eff it up. Is there a site I could go to to look up the instructions? I'm gunna try and google it to see.

Sams370z 07-07-2012 05:13 PM

Hey definition, I know you said u usually enter the car shows. Are u gunna be at SPOCOM? I'm here now (I think I showed up a little early cuz they're still setting up) and I wanna see ur car before I dip out.

definitionxmk 07-07-2012 05:31 PM

ah, i'm not there actually. I was scheduled to take photos for someone but had other things come up. I'm down to hang out afterwards though. Where do you live at? Just hit me up 626 703 8260. I think for the rest of the weekend I'll be taking photos and videos for my website. -Andrew

definitionxmk 07-07-2012 06:43 PM

Hmmm.... some friends showed up at my house. I guess I'm going to SPOCOM afterall. haha

Entered a car show over the weekend. Busted out my camera and decided to take some clips. The above is what I put together... Let me know what you think!

XLR8SN 07-23-2012 02:47 PM

I must admit that I am constantly impressed with your creativity in mixing the video the choice of music. :tup: Cool and creative.

This was on Saturday? I wondered what all the tents were up for when I passed by overhead.

BTW....WHAT??? We have a ZL-1 in Hawaii?

definitionxmk 07-23-2012 03:52 PM

Yup and she won 3 trophies. Pretty nuts!

XLR8SN 07-27-2012 01:03 PM

Sooo.......did it get fixed already? It looked fine from what I could see. Too bad the other black 370 couldnt catch up from the far right lane. Would have been a mini cruise...LOL.

Have a good one. :tup:

kkoon250 07-27-2012 05:30 PM

Just wanted to pass this on to you guys. I'm having my steering wheel and some other trim pieces done so if anyone is interested I'll post pics when they get here or even let you check it out in person.

Carbon Fiber Element

XLR8SN 07-27-2012 06:55 PM

Ahhh post it. Then we can all go ""OOOooooo and AAhhhhh" when its done and reassembled.

definitionxmk 07-27-2012 07:51 PM

Yup yup, everything is all good now. Car just has one big rock chip on the front bumper and a few hard water spots here and there. Anyone know a good hand car wash area that can get rid of these?

XLR8SN 07-27-2012 08:44 PM

For detailing and minor rock chip repair...call Shea. I believe that it is under Sheas Luxury Detail. He is located behind Cutter Ford in Aiea side.

definitionxmk 07-31-2012 05:07 PM

Thanks!

Well, decided that I want to leave the military and go back to school. Actually, use my GI bill and attend school overseas. Philippines maybe? Thinking about this:

Film School | International Academy of Film and Television

I already went to film school before the military but I kind of want to go back and "refresh" myself with the industry. Especially since Uncle Sam will be fronting the bill this time and giving me money for housing. Anyone out here ever dealt with using the GI Bill personally? It's a long shot but who knows; a 370 forum might just change my life =)

All that money in the Philippines... I'll be ballin'!

Kingbaby 07-31-2012 06:06 PM

do it

Magic Bus 07-31-2012 09:26 PM

Can't help with GI Bill knowledge. But sounds like a great plan......good luck to you!

definitionxmk 07-31-2012 09:29 PM

Thanks! Might put the Z up for sale to refresh my new life next year... we'll see what's up.

XLR8SN 08-01-2012 12:09 AM

Best of luck. Change is good and hopefully leads you into another exciting adventure.
