janaka Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Well this past weekend I went to Scrape By The Lake down by niagara falls. This is primarily a 'low-rider' show but has grown to be over 500+ cars. I entered for the 2nd year and this was the 2nd year that the Z came home with the 3rd place trophy for "nissan sport compact" class. A few pics of the car at the show: New interior panel we made this spring for the stereo re-locate as well as integrated shift light and volt gauge. Wrapped in the same leather as the seats, panels and shift boot (also new). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 So there's an entire class just for sport compact nissans? Who came in first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janaka Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 Almost everything had a class.. honda civic HB, coupes, low rider trucks, mazda etc. its a HUGE show, TONS of trophies given out. 2nd place was an infinity coupe (looked stock with rims/tint that i saw) which is odd since the 350z's had their own class and I think since they are the same platform they should be in with them...personally... 1st place was a Maxima - gold in colour, 22" wheels, aligator leather interior, stereo and an airbrushed engine cover. Meh. I basically need a show quality stereo install (IE subs/amps) not just the fibreglass door panels with the Focal speakers I guess to compete in the "show" category. The judges LOVE the car as did a lot of people who were walking by all day. But I'm more go (motor swap, big brakes, driveline upgrades etc) than show. Oh well there's always next year.

veritech-z Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Well, if it had ALLIGATOR leather, I guess I can see how...no. No I can't see it. I guess it's just a square peg/round hole issue with that show you're at, I think you're car is pretty sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slown280z Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Beautiful car! But what's with the stuffed animals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janaka Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 Thanks for the compliment guys. As for the furry things, since I've owned a car I've had one of those in each car. Its like my little mascot. They are located in the original stereo headunit spot becuase I didn't get time to fabricate a cover panel for the show. They are cute and hid a hole It was bad enough I had to get my CV axle swap done and get the leather on the new stereo panel the day before the show I just ran out of time.

Fletch350z Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Someone put tape on the infiniti guy's car. We should probably tell him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
