Guamspyd3r JOURNAL...

[guamspyd3r]

Hi everyone
This is going to be my first journal I've ever made for one of my cars.
I've had a '99 eclipse with a wide-body kaminari kit, '08 G37s with an IPL kit and now my '10 370Z w/sport.
As you can see I LOVE IMPORTS, the Mitsubishi evolution is one of my dream cars and I am still determined to own one along side my 370Z, the 350Z was what made me want a Z and I was determined and now I have one






I had my G37s for about 2 years and modded her and was still modding her to my liking , I wasn't done with her build mainly because I WANTED a Z since i first saw/heard a 350Z but i did get this far with my G37s



and one with simota1

(I should of removed my coilovers and used it on my Z but stupid me wasn't thinking and too excited about getting the Z)



After the 2 years of owning my G I had my fair share of fun with her, and one day I saw a used 2010 370z w/sports 6MT at the dealer and just felt like test driving her. The next day I went up to the dealer and test drove the Z. I felt COMPLETE , I knew i had to have this car...so I did all the paperwork got the loan and drove home my NEW-TO-ME 370Z...after having her for 2 months there is NO DISAPPOINTMENT with my purchase....

enough talk here are some stock photos i found of her






after a couple of weeks of having my Z i could not resist a good deal on a exhaust from simota1, here she is with the Greddy spectrum elite exhaust



here is a pic of my volks (i just got my lugnuts a couple days ago, so i will install them once work is not so demanding

-PLEASE EXCUSE ALL MY CRAPPY IPHONE PICS-

I purchased a few more mods but cant find the pictures right now

I've had my Z for a little over 2 months, so not much mods are done but i hope to be up there with you guys in the future


mod list:
-VOLK TE37
(f)19x9.5
(r)19x10.5

Thanks Jon...just figured I minus well keep track on the progress of my car

Very nice man. Simota's build is truly inspiring. I'd say you were pretty lucky in the simple fact that you can just observe what he's doing in person and spin off of it a little. And you're G looks sick as hell. Good work.

Thank you , yeah simota has one of the sickest builds I've seen...I'm hoping i can be up there with him one day, but shipping from Japan is ridiculous to guam, I was quoted 150,000 yen from UPS and 90,000 yen by ship for my parts in Japan , Jon is trying to help me with the same way he's bringing in his hood, no turning back now lol

[Voice59]

Good luck on your build with all those shipping costs. Geesh!

[guamspyd3r]

a little update:
I finally got the mount for the zoom engineering Monaco mirror today and mounted it ,thanks to simota1 and Daytona racing...the mirror is an awesome piece, super-de-duper light, and the view in the mirror is awesome also.

the install was pretty easy and straight forward(after Jon explained it lol) the directions are in Japanese, i guess taking Japanese 3 in school didn't really help

Well i did the install when it was getting kind of dark so here are the pics i took, i guess ill take better ones in the morning

I didn't expect it but the mount is made of metal and pretty strong



you can see a small portion of my never ending project eclipse in the last picture

the mirror is a great JDM piece

[simota1]

the mirror looks good bro!!!!

A little update:
GOOD NEWS:
I just sent payment for my small parts in japan to be shipped to me
should be here within the week(or so im told) im excited right now

SORT OF BAD NEWS:
After calling so many freight forwarders and shipping companies, all of their prices cost more than what I paidd for my front lip ( my thought was always ), but jon is trying to help me bring in my lip so we will find out the guestimated cost for the shipping for my FUJIMURA LIP

ok, i got the pictures of my front lip a couple days ago but forgot to upload it,
i purchased a FUJIMURA front lip out in japan, the price was awesome so i couldn't say no, i had a friend of mine purchase the lip and he currently has it in his shop...and now the lip is waiting to be shipped to its new home

my plan is to go for a full fujimura lip,sides,spoiler, and rear diffuser....for now

well off to the pictures of the lip




the other small parts i ordered were kind of an impulse buy, i saw it and said wow no one really has them so i went ahead and grabbed them...


well enjoy the little update pictures i got...i will post the pictures once i receive the rest of the items

[guamspyd3r]

k guys.....I'm planning on getting a set of coil-overs and want to stay JDM as much as i can...I've found a good set of Largus expression coil-overs in japan and was wondering if anyone knows if this is a good brand? has anyone tried it or knows someone with them? i basically just want to know if there good coil-overs.

I'm in a debate of either the Largus expression coil-overs, HKS hiper-max3, or the BLITZ ZZ-R...

can anyone give me a review of any of these coil-overs if you had/have them or know anyone who does? your opinion is greatly appreciated


Well here is a picture of the LARGUS coil-overs that I'm thinking of getting



thanks for your time

[Jasonle]

Very nice journal man!

[guamspyd3r]

well guys I've been researching the Largus coil-overs, couldn't find much about their 370z coil-overs but the 240 guys seem to like their sway bars...I guess if I don't find a review on their coil-overs I will either be the first one here to try it or I might go another route

I also just got word my shift knob and oil cap just left Fukuoka,Japan and should be here by Tuesday hopefully but still having a hard time shipping my Fujimura lip to Guam(hope i can bring these in soon )

crossing my fingers i get my lip in soon

[guamspyd3r]

well got some good news....my Tomei parts came in

only thing that sucks is I can't install these because I'm still at work but I'll get the installed pics up later

The Tomei Oil Cap feels good and solid...quality is awesome and it looks like their forged piston which i think is hella cool, as for the shift knob, I got the short version instead of the long ,mainly because my friend in japan told me the shorter one will be better so i listened I will find out once I install them.

well off to some of the pics

I love seeing Japanese instructions (in my head it all translates to BADD *** lol)
but yeah




the oil cap looks/ feels real good


I just wish Tomei made actual performance parts for the Z34

As for the fujimura lip...Finally found a company to ship it to Guam and now we're trying to get all the shipping info correct and get it shipped to its rightful owner
