I looked @ that car because he had an interesting N20 setup. The paint scheme is cool but the paintjob itself wasn't that great. I had a painter looking @ it with me who hads been painting for 20 years we agreed that it could have been a lot better which kinda suprised me. It's a nice car though.

Yeah, it seemed much smaller this year than in the past. I was pretty disappointed with the turnout of cars. Since I was with my girl, I spent most of the time trying to not look at any of the import models.

I thought this year's HIN in Orlando was o.k. It definately wasn't as exciting as the first time I went (once you've seen one HIN, I guess you've seen them all). Because of all the loud thumping music, blinking strobe lights and darkness, it was hard focusing on what was what on cars.

I remember seeing a 350z with the APS twin turbo kit and the owner pretty much didn't know anything about it at all which I found amusing considering how much he payed to get it installed. I saw Josh's car and the jade crews' cars which are always nice show cars. Sean and I said hello the OZOC guys, and they had a pretty good showing from their members that attended. We mingled with the Central Florida BMW car club and threw the idea around of having a track day together. Every other car I saw pretty much were decked out with TV's in the head lights to the windows, to the trunk, etc. I didn't get to see the XS 350z car. I guess he was tucked away in a corner or something. I still cringe when I think of that two tone Black/lime green G35 coupe Sean and I saw...ugly...why did they do that?

Josh, thanks again for the tickets. So who ended up winning the show? Who won for best team? Don't tell me Jade won again...

Which Z had an APS kit? I didn't see the kit, I thought I saw all the Z's. The show itself wasn't as big as I thought it would be but there was a lot of people that attened. Jade did not win best club, it was the club that had the orange rx-7 that won best in show. Don't know the name of the club.

It was a white roadster who had a dent in the back of his bumper and had the same rims as Neffster. I don't remember what crew he was part of, but he said he was one of the few to have the APS kit. I think he was from miami.

Here's a link to the picture of his car:

Ian - "Do you have the Techno Square ECU?"

White Z Owner - "Um... I'm not really sure"

I think that's what you're referring to ay Ian? I couldn't really believe that either.

Yeah that guy was eager to tell you about his car that he had no clue about. I think he was from Georgia.

Best crew was "935 draggers" and they always win cus they have about 200k into each members car. JADE hasn't won best crew at HIN in awhile...

That APS TT looked great, but the guy was a real "blonde" about his car...

Thanks for Ian+1 & Sean & Loafy for comin out!

Does anyone remember this G from HIN. I think Ian liked the paint job.

And I thought the paint job/scheme was bad...take a look at that engine cover...how tacky looking!
