haha thanks, although i dont think mine is that "legit" haha

g's are awesome, mine is prob one of the most beat up ones, there are ones that are amazingly worthy of being shown, but yes, there are a lot taht look stock or the same... i agree with that... but they all start somewhere. and i really dont think it was that big of a deal although i will admit that when i saw a row of vw's, and a lot of them looked somewhat similar, i didnt even walk down the aisle, so i see where it comes from, but meh, i wouldnt need to write a long post about it. drive wisewise, i do wish i had got a z, but at the time i got it, i needed more space in the back (i carried a lot of boxes.

So I had to go to WM just now. That store just caters to the best and worst, doesn't it? I was walking in and saw an uber hot girl coming out that looked like she was walking on to a **** set.

Then I'm inside and having to navigate around people like I was autoxing for my life. What pissed me off was that they knew I was there and didn't even bother to move or give me room. I almost let someone have it.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/290580744830...84.m1423.l2649

So I'm having trouble understanding this eBay ad. I'm searching for 260Z xxr wheels and must have viewed at least 50 sets last night. A lot of these wheels have a zero offset and make claims that it's very aggressive and might not fit the S30. Most of them are for the AE86.

Anyway, I don't mind a slight aggressive look. I don't even mind having the fenders rolled if it needs it.

Suggestions? Tips?

So I may be in the market for a stock muffler, just that piece as it's the only one I threw away when I put my HKS replica on. Just can't get the new system to fit right and now has an exhaust leak at the cat flange....

But there are some decent G's out there.
It's all good I used to love the g35 and tried to get one i was even surprised when I got my z, but custom g's always look awesome. And anyone that's pushing 500 is cool with me.

I think you and Tom look out each others window to see who's going to take theirs out first not wanting to be that first TT VQ guy to take it for a spin.

So I hope everyone is ready for the next CnC in May as I will be (weather permitting) heading out there. Hopefully my Z won't look like the 20+ Zs there and end up hearing about it on MNSC.....

Tom and I live close to each other, but not that close... about 10-12 minutes to get to his house from mine -> he lives in the "rich" part of town... me, well, in the old farm house.

For the record, I had my car out first this year
