yeah I have pictures…I can post all day…lol

I also have 30+ videos of my car lol…check it youtube.com/jebaker1121

I look forward to checking out the forums:tup:
I’ve already seen some sick cars…

worst snow drift videos ever

I’m an FX fan though, and the car looks good with those wheels powdercoated

edit: nvmd, just saw those are GTR rims…obviously

I love the way these sound :tup:

GTR wheels look good too :tup:

I totally forgot about these things! I like it

haha if you go further back to older videos, I have a bunch of “unedited” ones that are just thrown up there, but are actually “better” drifting than the “edited” video that is newer. This past winter I only had a few chances to go out and drift, where the year prior I would go out at 4am to dick around… and of course the best “drifts” I’ve had are the ones either nobody saw or were not recorded…

I used to have the stock 20’s powdercoated black: but sold them for the GTRs that I got painted (since the paint guy I use has paint that hold up better than the powdercoat I had)
for the purpose of better, OEM-appearing looks, and much better performance (they weigh only 24lbs f 27lbs r) which is pretty good for wheels of that size…the tires obv add weight.

Your car must be fun in the snow :stuck_out_tongue: lmao

haha yeah they sound sick stock: mine is basically stock but twice as loud… check my youtube.
and Thanks :slight_smile: theyll look better once the coils are on there

haha I guess there arent too many in your area then… theres a million and a half near me (completely stock, obv) and hardly any modded…even rims.

I resent the ‘fun in the snow’ statement about my car. I always get the last laugh though, cause I live in NC.

My dad has an FX45, I should convince him to get those wheels!

Haha yeah you should.
When it snows, I bet you take the FX out. :wink:

my dad still lives in NY :frowning:

I’ve driven that car before though, It’s a great vehicle. The V8 has great power!

Jeeze you threw everything but the kitchen sink at this thing!

I bet it sounds great. I love the VQ exhaust note.

oh haha my bad. Yeah, the VK45 is torquey :slight_smile:

haha yeah, but only mostly worthwhile stuff :stuck_out_tongue: check the youtube! (even though i need to update it with the new ypipe)

Sweet ride, I like these.

Thanks bro haha I like them too

Thanks bro haha I like them too

Where in Westchester are you?

Lots of mods there…

My fiance’s family is all in Westchester/Scarsdale, where are you?

Nice FX. I’m digging those mirrors.

This is a great shot:

I live in Irvington :slight_smile:

Yeah there’s a few haha…i wish I would have saved up for something substantial instead of all the little stuff, but ce la vie. I’m saving up now haha…
I live in Irvington, its 5 min from Scarsdale. I’m in scarsdale all the time on central ave.

Thanks man, like it says, they’re OEM Mercedes Cl550 turn signals. We basically took a dremel to the mirror covers and made them work haha…
And yeah, I love that pic, credit to me :slight_smile: lol

Woah, Irvington? Did you just move here or did you grow up here?

How old are you? I have many friends from that area, I went to Edgemont… a long time ago. lol

very nice FX! Ive been a fan of those for quite sometime. I was actually looking to buy one recently, but ended up going with something else.

Yeah I grew up there, graduated IHS in '08. I’m a junior in college now. My ex went to Edgemont, lol and a lot of kids I hang out with when I’m home are from Emont.

Thanks man!

Welcome! I went to high school a short walk from Irvington in Dobbs Ferry, but that was back in the 90s.

I say the FX35 is all set…keep it reliable and start on a project car.
