Update on my Nissan S13 Silvia project...

"After"... hmmm, well not quite, but eventually, my car will be finished with the refurbishing and I'll put my own car's picture(s) up. This is my friend's car that was done at Endless Garage. It was there for some additional touch-ups last night so I snapped a shot just to give an idea of what a finished car is supposed to look like. It's not the same model year as my car, but pretty much an example of a completed car. Well, these are actual pictures of my car as of last night. I was only there to make sure my seat positions were in the correct place because the safety bars will be welded in as close to the areas as possible so this might inhibit the ability to move the seat further back, etc.

G35 Update

	The G35 test drive! I drove it out of the garage for the first time ever! It's not perfectly completed, but it is driveable. A few squeaky sounds needs to be addressed, but now I know that it actually runs and drives almost like a 2004 Infiniti G35 should.

Japan shipment... Shipping soon!

A WestZero supply is being shipped out from Japan soon. JDM OEM parts and Billion brand products will be part of this shipment. If you are planning to purchase something soon, let me know. More items in the shipment mean a better distribution of the ridiculously expensive international shipping. I can re-distribute the items from Honolulu and add the domestic shipping if required.

My "other" car project... Infiniti G35 Coupe 2004

This is another car project that I've had sitting in my garage since late 2004! It is a salvaged title 2004 Infiniti G35 Couple. I bought it at the time thinking I'd have this on the road early-mid 2005! Hahaha! Yeah right. Real Estate was pretty busy in 2005. The car ended up sitting in my garage for almost a year at an almost ready to roll stage! Because of all the time being wasted with this 2004 car with a little over a thousand miles just sitting around, I asked Robert from Sonic to help when he had some time. Robert ran around looking for miscellaneous parts to get this car back together. It took him some time because he was working at Sonic and Hobbietat for a while at one point, but he's got it almost all done now.

We were working on it a couple days out of the last couple weeks and got a lot accomplished. The car actually starts up now! Why is this a surprise?? Because I bought the car from someone who purchased it from an insurance auction. The car was totalled and was sold without keys! I managed to order the keys from the Infiniti Dealer, but these new cars come with security keys that require the computer in the car to be programmed for the key. Will from the lock shop on Republican Street down the road from Sonic came up to my garage and took care of the programming! Awesome. Sure beats towing it to the dealer before even driving it just to get it started up. Need to get the car aligned, registered, insured and then it will be on the road. This should be soon! Hopefully!!!

Frappr Map

I'm not quite sure what the use of this Frappr Map is, but it seems interesting as it tells me what area people that viewed the map are supposedly viewing it from. For some reason though, I seem to be the only one who registered. If you come across this, please let me know what else this is useful for and actually register so it looks like a real person really viewed it... :p
