From the ashes... What did you do to your roadster today?

MrGrey · Post by **MrGrey** » Sun Mar 02, 2014 1:28 pm

I would but I only have OEM seats and don't really like the idea of going olschool and using a beer crate to sit on whilst driving..... I don't think the WOF guys would like me doing that

I assume you are referring to snapfrozens seats and you are more than welcome to ask, but I am unsure how receptive he would be

A friend of mine can do me a deal on a custom sticker for my car (he is organizing some for his 300zx) and we have been collaborating throwing a few ideas around.

Those of you who know me know I am a big kid and I have always like the comic book series "Deadpool" and this is what we came up with from modifying a google image pic

ignore the blue background, its merely a placeholder

GoGo JDM Deadpool!

Dude that is freaking awesome I could see so many people wanting that sticker

MrGrey · Post by **MrGrey** » Mon Mar 03, 2014 11:09 pm

were just in the process of putting the deadpool logo underneath it to save me having to answer the question "who is the red ninja riding a bicycle on your car"

how does this look?

Funnily enough I received my first speeding ticket the other day!

I was asked 3 times if it was in fact my car.
He then asked my occupation and went a little sheepish :3

I remember being hassled for supposedly failing to indicate a lane change leading up to crossing the Harbour Bridge (I'm incredibly anal about others not indicating, so I always indicate). Got pulled over on the far side and ended up with "I'm not going to argue with you officer, but I indicated."

Got to taking my details, name, address and occupation and explained to him about working for the Ministry of Justice up by North Shore District Court... went back to his car and came back a little while later with, "Well, basically because of your clean record and your job I'm going to let you off with a warning."

I remember my first speeding ticket. I had a car race up beside me when I was younger (I was in my escort sport) so I raced him. This was before unmaked police cars were everywhere.

I won, kind of.

It was quite amazing how quickly his attitude changed once he found out my occupation. Was quite neat.

I saw my friend at the stainless steel fastening suppliers today and picked up a few sets of steering wheel cap screws.
The IPad does not capture the colour contrast very well so have put extra image up.
I have 1 stubborn screw left to get out. Its soaking with penetrant at moment. Will replace that once I get it out.

Man our cars were pretty even on the straights, you just got by me at the end there.

Before...... After.......

The smokies blend into the blue much nicer than how the clears stood out.

New suspension today!!!
Its a custom XYZ package, I am very happy with how it turned out

MrGrey · Post by **MrGrey** » Fri Mar 07, 2014 8:10 pm

they look so awesome laid out on the bench it almost seems a shame to hide them away by installing them in your car

*big thumbs up*

mattapo · Post by **mattapo** » Fri Mar 07, 2014 8:48 pm

they aren't mine (theres 8 there) but they are also not hidden in my toy, and the best part of this all for you is come monday there will be a box coming your way Mr Grey!!
