Yep

ok, so i ordered 20" spirits with Rick on tuesday feb 22, 2011 when do you think they will be in?
also in canada so we only get like 4 months(june-sept) to drive our cars. i hopeim not as long as ive seen!

^good luck =)

Order date feb 2011-receive date sep 2011. It's not ricks fault, he's not flying to japan for every wheel order. He does everything possible to get them here ASAP.

lol i put the car away in sept..bye bye summer 2011

You can still cruise and injoy the Z.

i will...just i wanted the car to be done and hit up some shows with it. not going to win any events on OEM 18 lol.

I hear ya but just wheels isn't going to win any either. It least not down here anyway.

lol not just the wheels...it the last thing i need!
build list:
HKS hiper max3
SPC camber arms front and rear
Hotchiks swaybars

HKS hi-poers cb exhaust
Stillen headers
Kinetx HFC
Stillen intake
Uprev
Wilwood BBK 14" front 13"rear
and the 20" Venaci Spirits

on a Blue 2011 roadster

^great build list, but still not going to win anything with that unfortunately. Unless it's a show in Regina or something...

I was thinking the same, down here that won't even get 3rd place. Before i sold my PG 370Z Touring/sport. It was lowered, with still. gen 3's, still headers,berk hfc's, still CBE,hotchkis sways, 20inch Volk GT-30's, Stoptech BBK 15inch 6 pot front 14inch 4 pot rear, tinted tails and 35%tint on the windows,B&M short throw shifter,uprev tune,JWT light weight flywheel/clutch,still pulley,still headers,uprev tune. I didn't even get a t-shirt.:shakes head: This was in the summer of 09 so the 370 was still pretty new. I swapped most of the parts over to my PW 370 and sold the PG Z.

At the few shows I've been to.. judges see the intakes and immediately look down and see if they are connected to an intercooler.. And when they don't see one they have the "Son, I am dissapoint" look on their face.. As dumb as it sounds most times you need to be FI to be even considered.

Yeah your right, you need FI and real BBK (not the stock sport brakes) crazy paint, wheels, bodykit, huge boom box stereo, etc.

Just as a reference...my last car that barely won first place at shows...here's the mod list:

That's about what it would take down here aswell. :tup:

Oh ya.. usually being sponsored by someone other than "My Paycheck" helps too.

lol the cars that win tuning contests out here are ******* riced out civics and golfs. if I bothered I could win....oh wait I lack neon.

My car will be going to plenty of car shows. belgium, france/paris, germany, the netherlands.

mostly because of it being the first official amuse kit in europe according to amuse themselves.

now I just need some exclusive rims but the priiiiize. now if I could only get sponsored thanks to the car shows :roflpuke2:

dont have much but i won in so cal n vegas. I have won about 7 so far from last year. I even won at lowrider.

I think the chance of winning also has to do with the rarity of the car. if there are shitloads of Zs there they wont be easily impressed by the car while over here there are barely any Zs. I have only seen one...ever

Just ordered a set from Rick... JDM steeze for sure. :ugh2: Hoping it comes out great! The wait begins ... :icon18:

This is true. I won several with my old 350 (seen in my profile) when I was the only one or one of three there. Course my 350 was pretty clean though.

But when I went to shows mostly with classic cars, it was harder. The older guys don't give no respect to our cars. That's fine. I don't give them none either.:icon17:

what did you order? and your from Riverside , CA?

Damn i need to go to these shows. Not that mine would win, but at least it would get noticed.

the color you have is already amazing as is. What you have to come i bet is amazing.:tiphat:

3pc Work Meisters. Was gonna do Mag Blue TE37s but went a different route. Riverside, CA reppin hahah

koo another riverside guy. Hope to see ya sometime!!
what part of riverside?

Off La Sierra towards Lake Matthews. What about you? Maybe after I'm dropped on the meisters I might be able to roll with ya. :rolleyes: Props on the things you guys are coming out for our Z's... perhaps I one day I can check out some of the things you're planning.

im right off of van buaren and mlk. haha you can roll with us man. your family now and thanks btw

yo J you should ask freshfish to roll to L.V next month!
Car meet @ L.V strip club! lol i mean parking lot!:p
