I did. Took pics of cars that caught my eye. Still on camera though. Ill have them up after i raise car.

Did you come by my car when i was there at all?

:thumbsdow

Yea there are alot of whack ass mods that draw "attention" on my winning cars.

Luckily the team i was with got 4 trophies.

Dave Oathes got Best JDM
Jeff Hill got Best Subie, Best I.C.E., and Best Of Show

CarFreeks cleaned house.

 

the fast and furious flashy or pimp my ride looking is outplayed.. im all for just the clean look

 

I miss pimp my ride, nothing more fun than seeing a "gangster" rapper hug people and act nice while putting a kitchen sink in their trunk.

 

haha.. it was entertaining.. i was almost thinking of getting a POS and trying to have them pimp it out

 

Like the R35 ...sexy...

i could tell u if i knew what you looked like lol
i would have been the chick walking around your car bending over looking very closely at how close ur tires were to ur fenders haha

 

b-e-a-utiful

 

Eh, id take one if it was given to me. But i dont under stand the fan boy attention it gets.

Best part about the pre-R35 Skylines is the ability to mod the living piss out of it. Go pop the hood on a new R35 and tell me where youre gonna fit bigger ANYTHING. I found it funny how Perrins R35 outside had their "Perrin Intake" in it. The intake consisted of 6in pipe with a filter. There just isnt room for anything.

With that, i enjoyed the R32 (best jdm) and the R34 that is a +$100,000 beast.

I was the guy wearing the AcuraZine shirt...

I dont know if i saw you or not, i was so burned out after the 3rd hour.

Anyways, the rears are fine, perfect fucking fitment. The fronts on the other hand....If i turn the steering wheel a 1/4 turn i can get out of my car and maybe put 20lbs of pressure on the fender and it will sit on the tire.

 

hmmm i dont think i saw u...

and since im a girl i dont know anything about modding cars haha

i see it as a lot like a 300zx ... no room for anything... nissan is good for that i guess

one of my neighbors has a white R33?? i think it is...but all in all im an acura girl - that would be why im buying a real jdm type r and not a skyline...an integras more a girls car anyways...

 

well anything that is acura and "JDM" would make you a honda girl, not an acura girl, again proving your "girly-ness"

As for the R35 I have to agree with Kyle, but, it is the first USDM release of the skyline and we haven't had anything that cool since the Supra so I suppose it deserves some fans. I was just a bit dissappointed in the changes they made from prototype to production, some of the visual ques could have remained and still kept the price to what Nissan considers "affordable." In today's market I assure you Nissan, anything over 40K is way out of the realm of "affordable" in the US.

Ok, so yeah, Kyle - Lunch this week?

 

I think i've seen that R33 near Nike before. Don't see too many of those in Oregon.

Speaking of Skylines/GT-Rs, I saw a grey one in downtown today, driving at about 45 mph and yes he got pulled over. Idiot..

 

^ hahahah.



owned.


When and where? Ill raise my car tonight so we can both ride in my car.

 

they are gonna bring the skyline spec V over soon too... just need to come up with
135K to get it haha

 

Not as of 09??

..and i think im going to put acura badges on my honda - it helps my coolness factor lol jk

 

someone here in town i know bought 2...haha affordable for him... kinda wierd after you finish the break-in period u have to take it back to the dealership and they go back over everything... i guess when u spend that much money they better make sure every thing perfect

 

With a fancy Over-Boost button that wont be covered under warranty...

Weird??

How about the fact that the R35's are all tracked with GPS, and if Nissan finds that you were at a race track you have a time limit to bring it to a dealer to have a $1000 INSPECTION...no service, just a look over or your warranty will go bye bye.

 

actually as of 09 the TSX still has a JDM counter part.... Just your's and Kyles TL and the new gen don't have JDM counter parts (maybe the MDX and RDX too?)

 

its too bad the nissan jacks you over on the skyline.. i dont even think its worthe it in the long run unless people like getting F'd in the a$$ without lube..

and i think the euro-R looks different then the US TSX doesnt it? honestly havent seen one yet

 

euro R looks the same for 09

and OMG I think I like it now: http://www.mugen-power.com/street/ac...ion/index.html

 

i was told by the dealerships & quite a few ppl that most of the Acura line is now available as Acura in japan and not honda - but they will also still be selling the Honda models like the EuroR that doesnt exist in the USDM...

I know my TL doesnt have a JDM counter part but word is they are release acura TL's in japan...thats what i was meaning chris

 

front end looks WAY better

 

someone was saying it also has a speed restrictor based on your location???

 

Acura hasn't come out for Japan, its supposed to be in a few years.

 

It does but not in the US, I think its Japan only.

 

Thats what i was thinking...im sure they have better tabs where tracks are in japan right??

 

whatever day works for you and same time as usual, around 11ish?

 

Pics are up on my FlickR from PDXmas. Sucks my ISO was too high so i had to keep the pics small to reduce grain.


Here are a couple of my favs, you can see the rest by going to my Flickr link in sig.

 

Lets shoot for thursday right now. Ive got a meeting at 12 on friday so that kills that day.

Car is higher now, went with 25in in rear and 24 3/4in up front (from 23 3/4in). Not sure if its racked enough for me or not yet. Luckily i can adjust them without removing the wheels

Also, added shots from PDXmas to JDMlove photostream. Noticed you used my car for the banner as well....with the old wheels though ha

 

some nice pics!!!

BTW chris the tsx mugen looks nice.. too bad hondata wont be doing anything for it for a while

 

Kyle - yeah it's the old wheels, but I like the composition! Post more pics of the show! I didn't know we had VIP'ers around here...cool

Brandon - 09 Mugen TSX is hotter than the 04 and 06 mugen TSXs...damn mugen it wasn't suppose to be this way...

 

that S4 avant and VIP Q looks good.

went to skips wheels for some estimates
$150 per wheel to refinish and it'll take 5 days.
$200 per wheel to polish the face and paint the rest. this one will take the whole week.

polish/paint combo will look something like this




pretty sure polishing the aspec wheels like the ronjon version will make it look hot but maybe not worth putting in $800..

 

sometimes i feel like everyone on here but me has takin photography classes but me....

i take better pics with my cell phone than my actual camera

 

oh and new thought for the day is the mag blue te's on the tl...
but im still pondering

 

oh.. my.. god... just saw '09 Mugen versions
i was gonna go awd for my next car but i'll be sure staying with fwd if acura is really going to release v6 version for the tsx.

v6.. mugen.. damn hot!!!

 

The Q is for sale.
The S4 was my favorite car of the show. Talked with the owner for a good 15min or so. Custom made wheels, exhaust, interior trim, front spliter etc etc.

Had a crazy amount of little details that set it off.

Ive never had a class on photography in my life...in fact this is my first "real" camera.


Im really diggin the one on the right. Mainly for there being no lip on it, yet it still looks very very aggressive. IMO a set of ARC Magic Winglets on there would be super sleek.
