BRZ looks really well done. Clean but not excessive. Unfortunately im going to have to vote for this bagged and supercharged TSX. Not very many people end up modding those and this one looks to be the best ive seen.

EDIT: Just logged on to vote and its still not open. There's also some weird formatting issues on your page. Might want to contact PASMAG.
Thanks for the vote and the heads up, I'll check the page! Voting opened at 9am CST today.

You think mine has too much going on, you should see my competitor's. Same flare kit, but with 39 additional aero parts added on.

We've got a pretty decent car scene going here, along with a lot of solid builds. I'm sure word from last years winner being local encouraged more local people to enter as well.

I daily the Z. It's on air, goes up 5" if need be. Also with fat tires (295/30 fronts and 305/30 rears) I don't notice the shitty roads that much anymore.

350z meh to busy and the flares are not to my liking imho

As they say to each is own.

Good Luck BRZ
Like I said above, if you think mine is busy, check out my competitor's Z.

I'll ask Alex, I'm sure he's got some. I've seen it do all the above personally except the road racing. I wouldn't lie to you guys

Thanks lol, and yeah about the competitor being a wee bit busy... You do know you can vote for multiple cars each day right?... So you could vote for the TSX, and vote for me daily lol

I daily drive the Z. Alex daily drives the BRZ pretty well every day as well. The BRZ has been tracked multiple times. The Z was just put together late July, so I'm still tuning and working the bugs out as well as a back injury that ruined a good chunk of my summer has prevented me from making it to the track. Track is closed for the season now, but I'll be drag racing it next season.

yes, he probably signed up solely to ask for votes, yes these things are popularity contests and yes their car's may not be my taste. but the fact that two friends have both won four rounds of this voting thing together and are looking at potentially having both their cars at SEMA is pretty cool, that in itself is enough reason to vote for them imo

gluck op!

Voted for Al. Normally I actually don't like 350z's at all, but yours is rad. A little over the top for me but still very clean.

Well the winner has to take off whatever wheels they have and slap on a set of Niche wheels. So does it still matter?

I can only imagine how some feel about taking off their rare JDM, or expensive multi-piece wheels and putting on a set of Niche wheels...

Well folks, day 1 results are in.

Just a friendly reminder, you can vote every day as long as it's been 24 hours since you placed your last vote.

Here are the links to vote, it only takes a few seconds.

Hmmm.. didn't know about that part lol. None the less i wouldn't want to or feel comfortable with putting any car in with some cheap version wheels. But hey thats just me though.

Alex and I are both in it more so just for the experience of going to SEMA with our cars. We both built our cars ourselves without help from big sponsors, so we haven't had the opportunity for a sponsor to bring the car for us.

Voting is still going on until Monday at Noon. You can vote once per day.

I've had tons of support from revscene, it's much appreciated!!

Hopefully we'll see you guys at SEMA. Would be cool to see some more Canadian cars.
