The Sophia Project

Hang in there man. Yes, the stock exhaust is horrible. The G37 exhaust even sounded better than stock 370z. I'd go FI exhaust since we all know your nismo will be fitted with their TT down the road.

Dont deny it. Admitting it and coming to terms is the first step to your recovery.

This is my brothers new Nismo he bought on Friday.

This is my new Nismo I bought Saturday night

And last but not least, the last pics I took of Sophia on the 2nd of May after wiping her down.

SgtGoldy · 05-11-2014, 03:39 PM

Not gonna lie dude, that brought a tear to my eye. You can see how much you loved that car and wanted it to be what it should've been

Hotrodz · 05-11-2014, 04:13 PM

I got tell y'all, I have been living every bit of this with SS. I have had lot of emotion around his situation since our meeting on that ill fated day, but I'm glad that his storm is over. And both those Nismos are hot. I really like the magma and I'm not a fan of red cars generally.

Umm... I don't know about anyone else but This looks like an UPGRADE to me! lol

You and your brother are going to be like the Kakashi brothers in Initial D (Initial D is an awesome anime. They made that movie Tokyo Drift after it. I rec. every car enthusiast to watch it.)

Congrats!

Lol, everything under the hood was a downgrade. A few more pics. FYI, that Meguires crap blows chunks. Worst polish ever. Doesn't like coming off and oily

Nixlimited · 05-11-2014, 11:30 PM

Wanna trade wheels?

Perhaps, it depends on how you see it. If you only include the time she drove well and made you grin, then yes this is a downgrade. If you only see the downtime, then this is a definate upgrade being that the car is running like it should and giving you no headache. So with a mixmatch of grins and downtime, it's your call to consider it a upgrade or downgrade.

I'm bias cuz I have a Nismo as well, hence you Upgraded. = ^b

Either ways, I'm sure the both of you are liking the new rides.

I think I'm 100% content with these wheels. The color and design just fit too well. Aaaannnnndddd my Wife would kill me.

The dealer didn't properly deliver the car, so I had all day today to pick the thing apart. I have a list going of stuff for them to take care of.

Mr&Mrs · 05-12-2014, 02:02 AM

I hate seeing good people go through this B.S man. Reminds me of 98intrigue and all of his trouble with bogus shops. The Nismo is killer and each day will get better as you put this nightmare behind you. Cheers brother!

faceglide · 05-12-2014, 03:25 AM

Magma.....ALL DAMN DAY

God I wish I waited for magma some times. Its an amazing color, has some great pop, is amazing in high sun, dusk, or especially dawn!

The magma Nismo is a real beauty, and pretty rare. IN my area, all we get are greys, blacks and whites.....bleh. Great find my friend. The looks of that thing will make you forget the drop in power real fast.

To new beginnings!

YzGyz · 05-12-2014, 03:27 AM

Yeah, red is nice but it attacts too many eyes. I don't mind most of them. The ones I do mind roll around with pretty lights.

Mr.Squeeze · 05-12-2014, 11:37 AM

Sorry about your Loss glad to see you didn't give up on the car game just taking a break from modding.

Your new Magma red Nismo is hot

Jordo! · 05-12-2014, 03:27 PM

Oh wow -- I'm sorry, man, but it looks like a reasonably happy ending -- congrats on the beautiful new Nismo

Did you remove the SC's or sell it as is (sorry if I missed that in skimming over the last few posts).

I completely understand the excitement and horrors associated with a project car that is also the DD... as the (bad) joke goes, NA really stands for "never again".

I think you'll be really happy with the new ride -- glad it all worked out.

SS_Firehawk · 05-12-2014, 03:32 PM

I sold to the dealer 100% as is with uprev cable and my spare CAT. I got roughly 33k for it.
