Berk Technology is very cool.

I send out a ton of custom-made Christmas cards each year -- friends, family, colleagues and a handful of Z-related vendors from whom I have purchased parts. Today, FedEx delivered a box from Berk Technology (I have their catback on my 370). They sent a shirt, 370Z Hotwheels and a license plate frame.

Very cool.

That's pretty awesome. :icon17:

Damn! That's a good way to possibly get goodies!:tup:

Nice job! See, that's what being so cool gets you! :)

I honestly expect nothing back when I give stuff. It is a pleasant surprise when it happens and it makes my day.

Awesome! :tup:


That PW looks sexy. :icon17:

I am going to paint the HotWheels car 40th Quartz with my extra Dr. Colorchip!!!

mr.alcheng- looks :tup: last time i touched my ps2 (jdm) was like 7yrs ago... :ugh2: :icon17: looks like a lot of fun. :tup:

so i just heard a mad crash as if a taffyapple tripped on the sidewalk about a mile away. :eekdance: i ran to my utility room to find my detailing gear was too heavy for the shoe rack/shelf i hung all the bottles on. :rofl2: :eekdance:

I know, that's what makes you so cool.:tup:

i think mr.alcheng should sport the 370z touring pedals. :icon17:

They do have awesome customer service. I received a hand written thank you card and t-shirt form them last spring. Unheard of these days.

:icon17:

so i saw this thread by some newb about lots of snow and probably a stupid thread about driving z with summer tires.

anyway, iggylist ensured i did not waste my time with him the second time. :icon17:

I just read that. It cracked me up.

:icon18:

:tiphat:

:icon17: Mr.kenchan, yup.. with work and tennis and stringing job I am doing right now, I rarely touch the PS3, also part of the reason is because I am using a 20 years old rear projector and its resolution just couldn't handle the HD requirement from the game, also playing GT5 with a controller... :ughdance:

:bowrofl:on the detailing gear.... are the bottles ok??? :icon17:


mmm.... in fact, I have built a PW 370Z in GT-5 :icon17:

Pump up to 530hp and with all those wings and wheels.... something I won't do to the Z in real life... :rofl2:

I think I read that thread couple days ago.... I think I wanted to type something but I didn't....

Cos I doubt they have the intelligence to understand my(our) language... :icon17:


:icon18::icon18::icon18:

some more of .... you guessed it'

Island of Man

Honestly, beside those snow-tires questions... the other thing I don't understand is some people bashing on the VDC saying it's useless.. blah... blah... blah.....

I understand sometimes it takes away some fun from spirit-driving, but some people in the forums are rookies or non-experienced, should we confuse them with this kind of information....??? :confused:

It's an active-safety feature prevent the vehicle from losing control.... don't understand why people will say it's not safe....

Next we should tell people: "dude... you better unplug the airbag cos what it only does is to smack your face when you crash..!!"

Not to mention they're heavy, when you're trying to let the rear end slip out with VDC off... :ugh2:

:icon18: :tup: mr.alcheng- dang... that 530hp Z sounds great. :tup: i played the original ps1 (jdm) grantourismo, but after find out i had to re-buy all my cars from the beginning, i was like :ugh2: :facepalm: :icon14: and just kinda put it on the side. and with my newborn at the time, i had literally NO TIME to be playing games + my car hobby, music hobby.

i cracked up when one of the detailing gear manufacturers were inviting me all the time to meets saying 'oh, ken, just take a break and come out here, spend a few days at the dragon, etc.' im like yah, new baby, no time... thanks, but no thanks. and a few yrs went buy and when they had a baby they were like 'omg, someone stop the crying' and they shutdown all the meets and pretty much their store. :rofl2: i was like NOW YOU F-KING KNOW! :icon17: ahahaha.

but having kids is great. :tup: pretty soon i'll be playing these car games with them. they'll be like 'dad, you suck...' :p


btw, my detailing gear bottles are all okay. :D thanks for asking.

I am already there with my kids. :icon14:

i dont bash vdc, but i too dont use it most of the time. reason being, i know how my car spins so having that on makes me actually lose control vs gain control, especially in very slippery conditions.

i didnt use vdc in the snow at all when i drove my G in the snow with LM60's. i had zero problems in deep snow. i had more issues with vdc on. with rwd, i steer my car with the throttle often.

unless im having problems keeping the car to go straight in super slick conditions even with snow tires, i dont use vdc.

most of the time it's the poor tire choice people make for the weather/season and just lack of experience and maturity. what i really dont get are people that buy expensive wheels and mod suspension then settle on some shitty tires.. then crash. :icon17: then blame it on vdc-off. it's not the car, it's you.

:icon18: i just remind them i changed their diapers... and could not stand eating indian food until they started eating solids... :icon17:

Yup.... and when they really bring the rear end slip out... what they say is.... "oh.... sh!t"… then BAM…!!!

:facepalm:


Mr.kenchan.... I am pretty sure you will have couple more Zs in the house some 10 to 15 years later when the Minis have their Zs and you might go to the dragons together... :tup:

I wonder how many of them [as soon as they realize they are out of control] pushed the button again thinking it would turn VDC back on..

Driving like a boss :driving:
Slick tight curve [VDC OFF]:stirthepot:
Goes into turn :yum:
Starts getting squirrely :icon14:
Rear end comes out :eek: [VDC OFF(ON)] Damn you turn ON!! :mad:
And then skreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee [deep breath] eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech! :koolaidwall:

I fell out laughing reading the thread to start off with, then Triples set me to giggling again!!

:icon18: :icon18:

I got a rep in gray color... is it a neg rep or even rep? and the person didnt leave his/her name.... :confused:

It's noob rep, their green bars haven't dropped yet.

pwned in other words :bowrofl::bowrofl:

Seriously? They look diff when they have minimal rep power? :confused:

It must be one of the Mods since they don't give positive rep with their rep being so far in the negative. :icon17:

It's a mod rep. Not noob.

Just wondering who gave it... :confused:

Well that makes it that much more special (I guess?)!!:tup:

Reps have been released to wander in the streets. :)

Prolly Frost, I don't see Trips on.

They made the z very easy to have the rear come out in that game. still one of my favorite cars though. I also have a 500 hp 370Z though in MB.

btw, how do you thumbs down a post?

there should be a DISLIKE button too. :icon17:

:tiphat: & :tup:

mmm.... a mod-rep... kinda a good feeling... LOL


Triple's prolly is one of the 258 guests.... :icon18:


It's still pretty stable, need some setup though... but yes... the rear smoke through the corner pretty easy... :icon17:
