I am currently in Southern California...I took a road trip out here and wanted to meet up with some of you guys that I only know over the forum or from phone calls.
If you would like to meet up, there is some sort of G35 meet tonight that I may go to..I plan to go to the Pamona car show this Saturday..so if any of you are going, let me know so we can meet up and I can check out your ride.
I met up with MIAPLAYA (Rob) and a few other guys in San Diego last weekend, and I was able to meet up with Gurgen yesterday out in Glendale area.

Gurgen: your G35 is the nicest I have ever seen (or had the privelege of riding shotgun in!) very nice, love the feel of your Auto tranny upgrade!!!
A special thanks to Brad (VP) @ TURBONETICS for taking the time to give me the grand tour of the facility this a few days ago...very impressive..he walked me through the entire plant (huge) showing me how the turbos, wastegates, intercoolers, etc. are made, every step of the way. If I get a chance, I will stop over at TURBONETICS and take some pics of the plant to better illustrate for you guys at home!

hey todd,
It was nice meeting you last weekend in SD with rob. i get tired of seeing cars with pop chargers, and it was nice to see a car that had so much work done to it...and someone that wasn't too stuck up to talk about it.
perhaps i should get a see-through hood for my red wrinkle finish...it works for the F430.

Body weight reduction is much cheaper than car weight reduction, or car power expansion. Congrats man, you look great!
Todd, how did you get so lucky to hang out with that supermodel girlie friend you were with. What the hell was she doing with you?

tomorrow (friday) are the privates at California Speedway in Fontana, myself and IGOTAZ are the only 350z's participating...Greddy TT vs APS TT, it'll be fun. It's open to the general public
nope, different headlights, exhaust, huge vent on front fascia, front openings are bigger, plus i dont think the 430 spyder has been released yet. plus ive got a 360 and thats a different car.
oops was i talking in my sleep again
