thanks man :) it was fun making it :) i think ill have another videoshoot this week for the commercial for the car show coming up :tup:

Jon I would never say that you have put so much into your car bro and your style is way different then anyone else. Of course you I know I am into speed only so each of us have our own styles and goals (if that goal is ever met hahah) I can't wait to get back and drive my car again and cruise together bro. I know people drool at us when we cruise on marine corps drive. Guys hate and girls want to f... us hahahah

Jon, I need your cell so we can coordinate... lol

i fb'ed you my number...

@everyone else.... been working straight again... no days off... it sucks but things have to be finished around my shop... and im a lil short handed right now... so thats one of the reasons i havent gotten on here to update my journal and stuff... :( or had time to looks at potential parts.....

top secrets service is absolutely SLOW..... i asked my contact and he says STILL no update on my titan oil catch cans fawking jesus man.... and to think there parts are SOOOO expensive at least keep your word on the date part... still no update on my damn brackets either and they said 3 weeks,.... its been almost 2 months now... :( and i still need to order my front strut bar i can only imagine the waiting game there.... i checked zele but its discontinued :( no orders are being takin.... sh!t....

yup that pretty much sums it up... and o yah my twm short shifter is lost in the mail :( what luck i have seriously... with ordering parts from the US this year..... :shakes head: i filed a dispute... if by the 15th he still says idk... its gonna be a claim....

while im waiting for those parts to arrive im arguing with myself with the craftsquare VS. evor mirrors.....

craftsquare

pros:

Legit JDM

cons:

60 days MINIMUM wait
$650 shipped to guam
i dont like the way the base is so flat and that the screws show....

evor

pros:

1 week wait shipped to guam
$359 i believe shipped
the base is really nice shaped i love the curves on it

cons:

pretty much a craftsqaure rep with a better nice looking base....

thoughts fellas? im trying to keep my build as JDM as i can but in this situation i feel 650 for mirrors should be thrown at my mines y pipe or my top secret strut bar

I think you answered your own question Jon!.....

Evo, if someone says "Hey that's not JDM!" Give them one of these...

im getting the Evo-r ones. Cheaper and they look nice! See Martin82 car:yum:

https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.n...42580152_n.jpg

looks like i finally caught the unicorn shift knob

Add one more to the collection lol! Sweet knob!!

Evo- r ones just add a bit of red and it will be totally you!

Awesome stuff Jon. :drool:

https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.n...46265536_n.jpg

installed the hebi bebi.... :tup: aligning the turtle was tricky but i did it :)

there is a show in 2 days im competing in jdm show off.... my uncles shop is building a type r civic hatchback. His about my age and man guys this guy is super full of it like he goes "your probably gonna beat me in the competition" i was like i only got about maybe 12 jdm parts on my z... he then goes " if you put it that way im totally gonna beat you, in my motor alone i have 20 jdm parts" :shakes head: i found it kind of amusing he was showing me his kevlar spark plug cover...... i mean fellas my whole car vomits kevlar and cf :bowrofl: that was my ordeal yesterday with him...

fast forward today im just looking at his car... its freaking yellow off course your gonna look at it... its so damn bright he walks up to me and says "so are you scared? " :roflpuke2: i tell him nope.... i just didnt have the heart to tell him off.... and i didnt wanna waste my time anyways i just hope that the judges understand what they are looking at... i will admit that the tuner population on guam is more inclined and educated in hondas.... so when i go "i have top secret parts" my most common response from people is.... silent nod kool man,..... absolute blankness compared to check out my spoon valve cover and everyone is about to riot from how "jdm" it is....

:endrant:

i just get frustrated sometimes fellas because people out here act like fixing up a z is a piece of cake like modifying a damn 240sx or honda :shakes head:

Don't feel bad, most of the people at car shows here are dumb as a bag of rocks. That's why I don't even bother going to any of them anymore. Plus i'm a bit older than most of the douche nozzles that go. They just piss me off to no end with their "I'm the sh1t" attitude so I say fvck'em.

yessir :D i want that amusing growl thats why lol ;) plus my buddy here sold his G37 and bought a black 370z.... PERFECT TIMING so his car will own my greddy once his tax refund comes... and once that happens... im slapping my stock exhaust on and placing an order for the amuse r1 titan :happydance: and so my mines wing dont feel so lonely ill be combining my r1 titan with a mines y pipe :tup: still debating about getting some jdm cats from central 20/ amuse cats/ or mines.... only thing ill leave alone in my bay thats usdm is my stillen headers since its to expensive to remove and change :( if i could do it all over again i would have gotten those 5zigen headers... they cost the same as the stillen ones when i bought them back then :shakes head:

That fog light is hot, who makes it?

remember that ugly wide body kit maker tamon? thats them bro :tup:

So now you're getting the same setup as mine..Amuse Titan..kill me now :(:(:(

Nice Z now you have JUST what you want!!

I continue to be impressed by your style and tastefulness Simota! She's beautiful.

Does that Tamon foglight work on stock bumpers? I Just bought Evo-R's foglight, but I fear it may be too dim in the daylight for me. I like bright lights, and that thing looks sexy as all get out.

btw fellas i finally got a green light on the oil titan cans.... PROMISED date is early next month ;) in the mean time ill get the monaco rear view mirror and then the tamon fog :D

Jon, please take pics of the smokin wheels cause I can't be there and I bet you will win the car show cause everyone else has Guam bombs compared to yours.

Dedicated Z Owners

Simota & I pulled an all nighter with no sleep detailing for the show...

Although, he cheated a little and took a power nap during our island power outage lol... We are meeting here in the next hour and I just got done and Jon is 95% done....

Gonna need to KTFO after we drop out cars off Simota.:ughdance:

Good luck guys! I know how you feel about people not knowing what they are looking at. I hear people all the time saying to bad he has nothing done to the motor, and what is ZELE :shakes head: Stupid stealth GTM TT Kit

Well today had to be one of the most longest days of my life..... i literally fried in the sun for like 4 hours until the judges saw my car.... keep in mind i only had 2 hours of sleep prior to all of this.... but it was totally worth it :)
