we all have opinions, but its all about personal references. now don't get me wrong, I'm not a fence sitter either. there are things i find stupid or not in my liking, but sometimes things just go out of control. places like forums, car meets, etc are suppose to help with our community (the "car" scene), but just like everywhere we go there are assholes and people who just overlook other people's hard work or little extra touch they put on the car. yes, even though there are some really fuck up shit people put on there cars. but just because i don't like it, it just means its not for me and I'm not gonna go out of my way to express my disliking to the owner unless they ask for my opinion.
as some of you may know, i was giving the opportunity to work on a gtr r35 here in the Boston area. the customer (who is now a pretty good friend of mine) let me do just about everything i wanted on the car. but it really wasn't like that at all. because if everything thing was up to me the car would just turn into another one of these "jdm" nut swingers "i wish", or "that's the shit" blah, blah, blah, everyone lets talk about it car on the Internet. keep in mind, this car is nowhere near the coolest radar. (well, to the bad ass mother fuckers on the gtr forum) it doesn't have a 20k bodykit, its not filled with bunch of bunch of over priced carbon fiber accents in the interior, and it does not have 6k exhaust systems that also comes with a blow job, fanboys, nut swingers.
please hate on the:
non jdm stillen pu lip kit
non jdm (kinda shitty, but it was the only thing at the time) agency power intercooler pipping
non jdm type one racing coilovers
non jdm synapse engineering bovs
non jdm savini 3 piece wheels 5inch lip in the front, 7 inch lip in the rear.
non jdm, non dry carbon, apr gt500 wing
non jdm status seat belt harness
non jdm animal house racing intake gasket
non jdm forge actuators
non jdm agency power intake
non jdm type one racing downpipes
non jdm cobb access port
moonface tow hook
okada project plasma direct coilpacks
hks spark plugs
5 zigen race exhaust system
trust/greddy intercooler
i know i left out a few things but its been so long since those parts were put in.
another fine example will be this gtr. build for "r" by the guy that owns gt-rr or bulletproof automotive or the real jdm. yes, the one and only ben schiffer. its got all the hardcore jdm parts that most nut swinger would cut off their nuts for. and i had to mount the goddamn hre's on a cold freaking Saturday afternoon. don't get me wrong, the car has the "wow" factor, filled with jdm bling. but for fucksake the body shop could of cleaned the freaking car better. and left out parts? the guy spent that much to have parts that's suppose to be on the car left in the car. and the hardcore carbondry shift bezel that don't or didn't get fitted right. yup, i fixed it. well, maybe some of you will see this car at sema.
that's all for tonight.
