Link #2 - James' post about his car and the Axis wheel company

Will somone lock this post now?

 

Don't you think the owner of Axis wheels would have his Z as a feature in Sport Compact Car, and not simply in hte reader's rides section?? Why would an owner of a big company in the import industry send in pics of his cars for reader's rides?? He has a bunch of hookups inthe industry and I'm sure if he wanted to be in SCC he would do a feature photo shoot, and not reader rides.

 

It's not in reader's rides. It's in the USCC voting section. I don't know why this is hard to comprehend. Every year he puts a car together and attempts to win the USCC challenge. And every year he's had a good showing. The cars have never had an article. They get coverage in the USCC issue in summer.

 

The original post said it was in the readers rides section

 

Ive got an idea.
Everybogy go buy this months issue of sport compact car and vote for James Chen 350Z

 

I'm pretty sure the competition is fixed. I was just thinking about it last night and some of the cars that get in, just wouldn't make it on votes alone. You have to think the editor's vote counts for like 10,000 peon votes. I think if you had an open reader vote, we'd be reading a competition about a bunch of crap box hondas. Instead they make sure the field has good variation. I think it makes for a better article though, and everyone's happy.

 

If James Chen gets elected again, then I would be pissed. While I would like for the Z to be represented, he's already has been in the competition and I think it's about time that someone else get a chance off in there. I'd love to see another Type R in the fold, however.

 

i wanna know why he choose to ride on 20inch wheels. wouldnt that make you slower.

 

I'd love to see it too.. but the Type R always gets its doors blown off in these competitions. As good as it is, it will never be the right car to win this one.

 

James mentioned on this board that the Front mounted Intercooler on his Z was all for show but is having a custom fabbed Turbo kit coming shortly. He did say it was an HKS IC and the Turbo kit was going to be finished soon. HE ALSO SAID THAT HE MIGHT MARKET THIS CUSTOM TURBO SYSTEM. I'm sure that his car will pop up VERY SOON on the front cover of someones Magazine.
