So for a quick little update, I got my Zspeed undershroud installed, that thing is awesome. It looks nice underneath and is so much better quality than the plastic stock one. Plus, since I've cut out my grill slats you can see the Zspeed logo through the bumper haha.

A friend of mine with a black Nismo just got a package deal of parts from a friend of his, mostly suspension stuff like camber arms and Swift springs and whatnot, so he calls me the other day and asked if I wanted an oil cooler. I'm like hell yeah! Nissan's performance driving event in Miami is coming up soon and I don't want to overheat. I've been talking about an oil cooler since Zdayz earlier this year, my temps were at 250ish. So anyway, I go over there and it's a DIY unit, the guy he got it from had sourced the parts and put it together. It's in great shape so I got that from him plus some 20mm spacers with extended lugs, all for less than $200. Woohoo!

Next I got all the parts I need to do my headlights, I'm doing flat black everything, turning the turn signal into another projector, LED turn signals, quad white halos, and demon eyes in all 4 lenses. I'm doing two different colors for the demon eyes that I'll have on switches, so I can choose either red or UV. I can't wait to do them!

Last car mod was my clear GTR map light covers that I got last night from Z1. They look so much better and transmit more light than the frosted stock ones. For $30 it's not a bad deal at all.

Next up isn't a car mod, but a body mod. I got my first tattoo and decided to put it on my chest. The artist was like "if you start crying or wanna tap out it's ok, most people do. The chest is really, REALLY painful." Well that made me nervous, but I was like screw it, I'm here. Let's do it. Turns out she says I have a really high pain tolerance because I barely even felt it. 2.5 hours later we're all done. It says "Ex Malo Bonum" which is latin for "from evil comes good". It serves as a reminder to me that no matter how bad you've been in the past there is always the possibility to be better. You're never a lost cause, and you always have the ability to be a better person.

That's all for now, I'm trying to save up for something big! We'll see what it is!

I think I'm gonna try to install the oil cooler tomorrow, I have to stop being lazy and just do it. I have to have it installed for next week's autocross shindig at the Nissan performance event in Miami. I can't wait for that! I'll be sure to take lots of pics :)

fixed. I tried to embed the Vimeo one they sent me, but it didn't work so I had to upload to youtube real quick. Should be good now.

LostSol 10-14-2013 04:25 PM

Yep, its good. Also, I hate you.

Huck 10-14-2013 04:28 PM

You'll be ok. hahaha

Huck 12-11-2013 07:59 PM

This is a temporary post to show someone the spacers I'm selling. The phone won't let me put pics in a private message.

Zdayz 2014!!

fairz 12-11-2013 09:20 PM

tattoo meaning is legit!

Huck 12-11-2013 09:41 PM

Thanks man! I thought long and hard about it, and the idea was something that had been in my mind for a while. I can't just go into a studio and be like "this looks cool, let's do that" cause I'm fickle as hell. I'll wake up in two weeks and hate it and then I'm screwed.

The Latin bit actually came from a song by Anberlin called Miserabile Visu (Ex Malo Bonum) (which is an awesome song BTW) and when I looked up the meaning it fit perfectly with what I wanted to get.

More is in the works, just figuring out what exactly I want to get and where. Oh, and I need more money lol.

Zdayz 2014!!

Quick update, I've done a few things here and there to the car but the most recent one is installing foot well lighting. Super easy and super cheap. $10 in parts and 20 minutes taking my time.

I've also installed wheel spacers and I have my tow hook, strut bar, and new BBK calipers at the powder coaters right now.



Zdayz 2014!!

Meulen 01-21-2014 03:59 PM

sub'd!

lookin' good man!

Huck 01-21-2014 04:13 PM

Thanks man! The fun part is going to be trying to get the caliper seals and everything all back together, but once that's done it should look nice and pretty.

Zdayz 2014!!
