Well good news for me later today. I don't have to work because I don't have anything to fix today that came in my e-mail. Secondly, my dad is up and we're picking up my carbon hood and rear spoiler this morning (around 07:00). Not that it will help out significantly, but it will help out. Hopefully it looks good on it.

Wow, Tom..Mind if I call you Tom? I seem to hate you more and more with every post you make. I hate you in a good way. I hate you in the way I would kill to be you. Pft. Know what? I'd kill to even watch a Touge Battle. To even coast down Akagi or any other pass would be a dream. Not even a race. Just coasting on a daily drive or something. :( I will never happen. No one here takes me seriously about going to Japan for the summer..

And PS: Whats your thoughts about the new Fairlady Zs?


-Andrew
 
Of what..? Will this work?

No I don't mind at all... I'd rather people call me Tom than Deity. I can understand why you would hate me so much... trust me, you're not the first. Coasting down a pass is fun at first, but to be honest... it gets boring after a couple times. Racing down one? It's scary at first... hell, it's even scary now. But it's something that I must always do. Where in Japan do you plan on staying for the summer? My thoughts on the Z33? I don't like it. Sure it's a nice looking car with a nice interior, but the VQ35DE is weak in my opinion. It's N/A and pushes 280ps. That's not bad, in fact it's good. But there's something about it that I just don't like. The Z32 is a better car I think. The new Fairlady, and RX-8 aren't as great as their previous models. The only car that will be just as good, if not better, than it's previous model is the Supra. The next Supra is supposed to have a turbocharged 3.5L V6 that pushes over 350ps. The "limitation" of power is supposed to be deceased as of next year too... which is good. Now that Corvettes are being sold here, our domestic companies are getting some competition.

No clue where I plan on staying. Or if I'm still going to. I hope so, thus far I've got 9,000 Dollars, and by summer I should have upwards of Maybe..11,000 to get me there and back and what not. More than likely my parents will match it with another 11,000 or however much I have, thats what they always do. "If you can save x amount of dollars, we'll match it." So. If I do go, I'm watching a Touge battle. If I don't watch one, the entire trip is wasted..

That is a ****load of money... do you know what you can do if your parents match your $11,000... This is what I'd do. First, say that you're going to Japan... but tell them a friend is taking you there. Don't go to the airport, instead buy a car. Buy something Japanese (FD, JZA80, hell even an AE86) and do work on it. Come back a week later saying that you got this car there. Done. Haha, don't do that... just go.

Haha..I would do that, but in Michigan every Import is concered ricey. I'm close to detroit anyways, so if I could even find an FD, it'd be a miracle. And it'd probably be on cement blocks in a front yard someplace. But yeah. 11k and 11k is 22k, that'd be enough to get something decent I guess. I might look into it, but me and my mechanical knowledge (which is close to nothing) and the shops around here (pep boys, woohoo!) wouldnt know how to do anything...And I'm not too go getten about moving someplace to get stuff done. And i've looked everywhere, Used car places, car domain even, and Auto Trader.com, theres nothing for sale that would even be fixable...

If your parents still match the $11,000... you can get the following: Mazdaspeed aerokit (looks great, nothing outlandish), race porting, HKS turbo system, Mazdaspeed wheels and tyres... man, if I had $11,000... then again, I can't complain. ;)

Jeez I could get that?.. :eek: I'll call about the car sometime tomorrow, if not today.


-Andrew
Well lets do the math.

FC3S = $6,500

$11,000
- $6,500
________
$4,500

$4,500 can get you the Mazdaspeed aerokit, tyres, and race porting.

The remaining $11,000 can get you everythine else including a paintjob.

I dont like Math. But yeah, I guess I could..But what color paint..Black..Everything looks better in black..

Mine is black, with the Mazdaspeed aerokit and wheels... so it would look like mine... and it looks great.

No problem...

My dad and I are getting ready, we have a 30 minute drive to pick up the hood and wing. I'm getting it installed there too, so I'm just going to drive my car there. I'll tell you guys how it comes out.

:cheers:
That picture is funny.

Now... the carbon hood is amazing. It weighs 19kg... the rear spoiler... I can pick it up with my... nevermind that, it's light. They both look great on the car, and I'm really happy for the price I payed. 55,000¥ is a good price for them if you really think about it (about $500USD). Well... time to waste a whole day.

-Tom
 
I know. A page back, there was an FC for sale like 20 minutes away. I called, its an Auto, and so I found this.


-Andrew
 
I know its alot, but 22k is what I got. And I love FD's..What can I say? I'd do it..I might do it.
