Those are some might strong words coming from you my friend! Your build is an inspiration! And saying that alone, is truly an understatement!

Well Hot Import Daze was a bust for me this year. Same Liberty Walk GTR took 1st, another GTR (stockish) took 2nd, and my buddy Frank's 350Z took 3rd. I was a little disappointed, but I'm glad my teammate shined in 3rd.

This event seemed very biased to a paint company that is here in the PNW. I don't think I will do another HIN event, left a pretty bad taste in my mouth.

Next stop, Import Face Off in 2 weeks!

It sucks arse when a car places in front of you when it's clearly inferior. Very frustrating

It's difficult to beat a Liberty Bunny/Rocket Walk GTR. FWIW, your car looks stellar in the Instagram pics you posted.

Looks so killer man! I wish there was more to liberty walk and rocketbunny. They are floating around like flies everywhere in the world currently.

This is the modifying life style..... So long as u love what u made come to life?!!!?
Shows will always be determined on one set thing....
What the judges like that day.

Keep em high brother:tup:
She's a very well built thought:driving:

Can't compare to the cookie cutter LB GTR...but the OEM GTR with some engine mods taking 2nd....that is frustrating.

My car is a much more complete build this season, compared to last year. Hell, there were nicer 350's, Skyline's, and GTR's that should have beat me last year. But it is all gravy.

Got IFO in 2 weeks. Didn't place last year, so fingers crossed this time through!

Finally received the beautiful Tomei Expreme TI exhaust system on Saturday. Quickly got dressed and headed over to the base to get her on the lift.

After removing the FI exhaust, the tomei went on like sipping a glass of water. Super simple to install.

The design and welds are amazing. It's hard to believe the system is as friendly on the wallet as it is designed. One of the nicest systems I have had the chance to be up close and personal with.

The sound is amaze tits with the FI LTH. It's very loud and throaty. Makes the Z sounds like a full fledged racecar. You can keep it decently low with some practice on the throttle, but in all honesty....you wanna run this sucker WOT. Definitely not a setup for the faint of heart! I couldn't be happier with it and I sold my FI exhaust to a buddy the same day.

Next stop on my build will be the Synergy Composites ported lower manifold. My friend Jereme received our core back and installed his yesterday. Sending his out for porting this week, which will then be on its way back to me. Then I'll be down to Intec again for another tune. Still in the NA hunt for 350rwhp.

I've also been shopping seats over the past few days. Still have my heart pretty set on Status Spa, but I've also been looking at the GTX fixed back from Status.

Yesterday, she won Best 2nd place Z or G at Import Face Off. I think this is one of the more challenging events to win a trophy at. They use 1 judge and he travels the country, seeing the best of the best. Didn't place last year and did this year.

Ordered another set of goodies from Evo-R. Went with their front canards for the amuse front bumper. I've been eyeing them for awhile and pulled the trigger on Saturday.

Congrats! http://www.emoticonsfree.org/wp-cont.../party0012.gif

For the 3rd Driftcon event in a row, I was awarded the People's Chocie award, the second highest award offered.

This weekend, i'll be installing my new freshly ported Lower Intake Manifold done by Shawn at Synergy Composites. should be arriving within the week!
