I don't know the point spread. From what I could see we would be equal on points up to the engine mods, I have a turbo on a NA car.

I didn't expect to win anything at this show, not because I didn't deserve it, because people here do not know what they are looking at when they see my car. There is one show here where people know what they're looking at.

I don't want to come off sounding bitter, or sound like I'm making excuses but, the Audi guy is affiliated with the show organizers. Don't get me wrong, his paint job is very nicely done.

FWIW, my 5 year old son thought it was strange when he noticed one of the judges getting a 1st place trophy.

BFG9000 :rock:

You are the big winner as you have done an excellent job raising your son as he has a keen since of fair play. The hardest lesson is being and staying fair in an unfair world! Keep on kicking but my friend.

Cant wait to see the water splash photo! I just did one for my friend last weekend, they are def fun shots.

Things that make you hmmmm. :icon14:
They shouldn't be judging if they have a car in the show even if on a different class. It is what it is.

XIP! :hello:

Nicely said Bob. Thank you :tiphat:

:iagree:

Are you planing on showing the results of your shoot somewhere on the interwebz? I would love to see it.


That's the way it used to be... oh well.

Oh nice! I'd make the trip for that.

:drool:

I just saw some of the photos from my shoot with Toronto Automotive/Commercial photographer George Bucur. I am blown away!

Here's a sample, they only get better,

What is that blue, it's crazy hot.

I hate you!

Waoo MR Gale your car looks very very good.... you dont need a good pic to appreciated that work of art :tup:

Your car is quickly reaching "Super Model" status!!! I'm glad I got witness her coming out party as she is absolutely stunning.

Today I installed a new O2 sensor for the SCG-1. The original one was defective (no warranty either)

I also installed a new rad cap.

:tup:

is it just me or is your car up on only 2 jack stands? :confused:

:drool:

The O2 sensor for the AFR gauge is in my downpipe which is on the right side of the transmission, it's a relatively quick job to swap out and calibrate so I only jacked up one side.

Thanks for clarifying Jason. Looking at it again I can see it. I guess the early hours didn't help when seeing it the first time. :tiphat:

Good news. The new O2 sensor works. Initial set up of the SCG-1 is ok, I'll be fiddling with adjustments to maximize performance. Thanks to Mitch for some clarification. :tup:

Yesterday was the first big drive since getting the car back, putting on ~200 miles. Not one issue. The car idled good, started up every time, cooling was good, oils temps maxed out at 90ºc (194ºf).

just beautiful brother... :drool:

What do you do to keep your engine clean?

I don't drive it. :rofl2:

Actually, I use air to blow out the dust, Quick detailer on the paint and carbonfiber, and I try to hide wiring resulting in a cleaner look.

Don't try to tackle it all in one day. Do a little bit here and there. Eventually it will be clean and easy to maintain.

I love the "I don't drive it" part, but in a sense it defeats the purpose of a well "engineered" Z. Hey, whatever it takes to keep it clean. I understand that after so much time, effort, money and passion it makes sense to keep the car as clean as possible. Gale4ce is one of the best 370Z's I have seen in my life. Keep it up!!!

The "I don't drive it" part was a joke. I put nearly 200 miles on it this past weekend, a portion of it was on a gravel road. The car doesn't look so clean now. :shakes head:

Try keeping a G engine bay clean. The grill in the bumper causes all kinds of mess. On the bright side I run a lot better temps than the Z does, so I'll take a little bit extra dirt in the bay:tup:

Wait.. what is "clean"? We are actually suppose to clean these cars? Never got the memo.. I just let rubber build on rubber and call it a day.

I always when i clean my Z... i clean the engine bay too... i dont like to see dust on it:p well the thing is that not everyone have the time or thoughts to clean the engine bay every time that clean the car... but i think this way... when you get a bath do you clean your butt??? hahahahaha!!! think about it....

Ha! Love this!

hahahahhaha!!! i have to looked that way to clean that engine bay :p

I hope you are well sist :hello:

So much win!!

My wallet hates you.

Busy installing my latest mod. It's not wheels...
