Default Weekend Photo Megapost! (56k = NO)

So on Friday I met up with forum member 'mpower', also of Savannah. We wanted more people to come along, but couldn't find anyone

After some excellent food at the Longhorn, we headed over to the dealership where mpower works and I took a look at a Stillen setup that mpower had installed on a red Z:


Entire car and windshield decal


One of the tips. similar to stock, but not as thick.


Stillen lettering on top of the pipe.


mpower's car, and mine behind

After that we called it a night and headed home. The next day we ended up meeting again, this time to help a friend of mine film a movie about Z cars for his final video project! As luck would have it, I got some photos of that as well, and should have some video online within the next week or so.

The location for this part of his shoot was the abandoned track on Hutchinson Island. This was my first return to the Island since I outran some cops there a while back and they warned me off the idea of coming back. Also, note that my car hasn't been washed in two weeks and has gone through some pretty severe rain that we've been having lately. Thanks, Blackfire!!!


These were some of the basic shots for my friend Preston's movie.


More standard photos...


I liked this one a lot, so I color-corrected it and made it available as a 1280x1024 background image here.

Up next is me and mpower lining up after doing some mad burnouts. Hopefully I'll have video footage of this up soon, as well as a short Z movie.


Our cars with everything down. You can see some of our rubber in the pavement.


Everything up 'cept hoods.


Hoods up, from the front of my car.


Thanks to Blackfire for some damned good shine after a few weeks of no cleaning!


Hoods up from mpower's car. You can see some of his handywork in the engine bay if you look closely.

That's it. Hope everyone enjoys! I'll be back with some video soon enough

syfOn.... Great pics! BTW, do you know of a good place in Savannah to have a clear coat bra installed? When I leave Richmond Hill to go to work it's dark and by the time I get to Savannah my front end is one big mess. Bugs:1, Z-0.

Mike,

I have heard a lot of horror stories about ClearBra installs gone wrong. For the money, I have my doubts about the value of clear bras. So...no, I don't know any installers. Sorry

I make a lot of interstate drives as well, so some time this summer I am going to cave in and purchase a normal bra...then whenever I have to make a long drive I will put it on. I don't think they are very good looking things, so I plan on keeping use down to the highway

Stopped by Vaden's today and checked out the Stillen exhaust on the red Z......looks and sounds great! Now have Stillen envy.

While there, met mpower. He's got a sharp looking 300.

Nothing against Mpower, but Vaden has the worst sales staff I have ever encountered. I cannot speak for the service dept. though, as I have never used them.

I highly recommend Key Infiniti/Nissan for all the Savannah area.
