So its been a while since I posted up or responded to posts on here. Wanted to say hello again to the OGs and the new crew. It was good seeing some of the faces in OC hopefully the show and crew scene will be back this year after the horrid attempts last year. Congrats to all the winners at OC and good luck to the ones competing on and off the track at Hyperfest this weekend. Be safe and bring home the prize!

Hello fellow Frederick person!

 

hello villain!!

Come join the NZC

 

LOL Hey Barn! You and I met at the OC show I have the 350z that was upstairs with all the airbrushing you and I were talking when I was talking to Goof.

Ghost I am always looking for fellow Z owners to chill with in the area and talk shop. :-)

 

o0o thats you!!

wassup man!!!! Nice to see you back on here. You gonna be at hyperfest tomorrow??

 

Ugh... I cant bro I have to work and replace a DC (Domain Controller) tomorrow afternoon so I will be out of the fun. You rollin? I talked to Goof and he was rolling up there this evening so I am sure the party is starting early. :-)

 

rollin at 0500

Cant go tonight... I get off work at 11 then stopping my the shop to get the car. Ill take a cat nap then get on the road

 

and yes party is starting early and i am missing it

 

oh eff me... oh well. I am getting quotes for a Vortech Supercharger today... the bug bit me again while I was at OC and I got to see yours and Goofs ride. Yours is very nicely done man... mad props.

 

come down and check out hills for your install

I love your car!! I still want your trunk

 

I called them today to get a quote for a tune. I am trying to figure out how to cut a hole in my hood and place a piece of lexan in its place to show off the Vortech V3. I want something different and crazy... but not too off the wall. Puts down the hack saw... perhaps I should photoshop it first. LOL

 

I researched doing it when I was in Iraq... I came to the conclusion to not do it. lol

 

Do tell...........

 

Because of the complexity to do a cut out and attach you would lose the structural integrity and crumple zones of the hood... also to put in a cut out it would have to be either mounted above or below and to be flush would be pretty much impossible.

The other option is a full plexiglass hood... which noone makes for our cars and to get one custom made the costs are astronomical then you lose the dependability and high speeds would be extremely ill advised. With no money constraints I may entertain the full plexi/lexan idea and look into making it strong enough to track the car but for the cost of a CF hood I cant beat it.

CF has cooling functions too. maybe look into modding this style hood to show off your blower...

 

ah thanks for the advice..... really appreciate it saves me time. :-) Good lookin out!

 

no problem boss!!
