Ya unfortunately I didn't take pics, and I don't know if anyone snapped anymore of that Z. I am getting the vertex front, and I know that wasn't the vertex rear, thats why I wanted to know if anyone knew him. I figure Apline might know him as he is friends with the brainstorm guys, and this Z has had a lot of work done at brainstorm.

I talked quite a bit with Brainstorm before I got my TT setup installed. A sound company and a great bunch of knowledgeable people. If you're interested in an APS TT, these guys know their stuff. Check em out.

I had the opportunity to talk to the guys at Brainstorm when we used your car for testing. They were very helpful and informative. Give me best to everyone. I wish I could go but I am in Asia until late August.....

Wassup!
Hey guys sorry I was outta touch there for a bit, been in the field and personally unavailable.
I sent a message over to vkzawa about the rear, and some of you already know the answer to this, and I know it may not be taken very well in some cases for various reasons.
The entire body kit is a replica kit, and it's not the best one out there, but that isn't why I got it. I bought it from someone personally, they were getting another kit themselves, so I don't have any real info on the thing.
I got the kit because it's different from what I had seen out there, and that was 5 months ago now everyone is talking about the Vertex kit and there are some similarities so who knows....
I like the way the kit looks on my car, although it does have some quality issues, I'm willing to live with it and that is a personal choice.
Sorry I can't be more helpful than this, and I do appreciate the comments about the setup, and the time many of you have taken with me, and it's always my pleasure to share when possible.

The crew at Brainstorm are the best and I'm glad you had a chance to experience that.
As far as the Article goes I wa glad to be a part of it since it is entirely a Z community magazine, and I am hoping your readers will enjoy the article, information, and I look forward to supporting the readers as well.
You and I know there are a lot of ways to get where you're going in regards to MODS and Performance Upgrades, and there is nothing like real information to make the right choices, for YOU and your goals, vs. whatever the internet engineers and "ricers" are up to to which I tend not to follow or contribute to.

Hey Guys!
Well it looks like we've finally got setup on here. We just used paypal to pay the fees. Anyways, first off I'd like to thank Alpine for helping us out by spreading the word.
Secondly I'd like to let everyone know that we really look forward to an awesome day tomorrow. We're all very excited and hope that this event will lead to more events. We'd like more people to come stop by and hang out, even if we're not doing any work to your car.
We've still got some dyno openings after 3:00PM, so if anyone is interested, please give me a call to reserve a slot on the dyno.
Hope to see everyone tomorrow!
Thanks,
Christian

Just got back.
It was a pleasure meeting some of you and I am getting more and more impressed by Brainstorm, they seem to really have their act together and are great bunch of people.
I especially enjoined chatting with David from APS. I have to say I find him to be a very friendly and knowledgeable person. I really liked that guy, no ******** straight forward answers. I expected something different based on what I read about him so far.
A few more days and I shall be fast
