G35 Cruise 1/20/08

Had another G35 cruise yesterday, it was the best turn out ever. Everyone were treated to a nice, and crazy fast drift show in the parking lot.

Steve's Orchids

Picked out the 10 plants for Steve's sister this morning. Took a while because we're a little short on flowering plants, most are sold or have passed its flowering season. It's gonna tough on Valentine's day, which is one of the big sale seasons for us besides Xmas and mother's day.

Motordyne 5/16" Intake Plenum Spacer

Received the plenum spacer today, is really impressed with the packaging, and how detailed the install instruction is. This spacer is arguably the most recommended mod for VQ35, adding 11-13 HP!! Planning to install it on Sunday, now I just need to buy a torque wrench with in/lbs measurements (not cheap!). I would like to say this is the last mod on the car, but there's always something else that I HAVE TO get to make the G better.

And look, they even included a pen with their logo on it, now that's good marketing!

Hawaii Bowl - Boise vs East Carolina

Friend David came across 4 free tickets to the Hawaii Bowl. Haven't gone to a football game in ages, can't handle the 5 hour tail gate parties. I too took a short nap after snapping this pic of David catching some shut eye. The game was much better than expected, it was literally down to the last seconds. Will be watching the Sugar Bowl on Jan 1st, go WARRIORS!!

David & Shinobu's Wedding

Attended David and Shinobu's wedding at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel today. It was very lovely, and very local, with live music and guest hula dancers. Wish them the best in their new life together.

New Rims - TSW Thruxton

Picked up this set of 20" TSW Thruxton from a fellow G35 driver. It was a great deal and the color matches my car perfectly. Only thing is that new 20" tires are gonna be EXPENSIVE!! Note the 4.5" rear lips!

New Lexus?

Snapped this picture at the mall parking lot today, it's a new, unannounced Lexus coupe, can't even find it on the magazines!

OR, it's just some dumb kid that slapped on Lexus badges on his piece of crap Hyundai Tiburon.

Birthday Tradition

It's a tradition to take the birthday boy/girl out for a night of drinking. The challenge is to give them enough drinks to pass out, but not too much so he/she makes a mess in the car. Luckily Leigh didn't make a mess in the car, and luckily I didn't drive that night. Picture taken at Sorabol after a night of partying.

Red Ring of Death!

Got the infamous Xbox 360 "Red Ring of Death" today, no 360 for the holiday for me :(

Human size Gundam model

Saw this human size Gundam model at Bic Camera Yurakuchou, it's, well..........huge. And look at the price tag, 349,800 yen!!

Tokyo Tower Christmas Setup

Snapped this pic with my rental keitai (same model as the one I had 2 years ago, Softbank need to get some new phones).

Tokyo Motor Show 2007 - Girls

Didn't take too many pics of the car models, plus there are too many weird guys with professional grade cameras gathering in front of the girls.
