I had an awesome weekend so I decided I'd share it with you guys plus I know how much everyone loves pics (and considering I took over 250+ pics with my digital camera this wkend why not share with my NICO family lol I'm a picture whore, I know...) Anyways on to the pics!

Got home friday afternoon to find this waiting for meBought 2 option D 1/24th scale s14 kouki toys off ebay They are sooo cool

Went to an apple festival/craft show at Mapleside farm saturday afternoon, took some pics of the beautiful view thereJerry bought me this really cool Superbird windchime (since I love superbirds) I hung it up in my room for now

Saw this while driving around....neat to see sitting out in someone's drive

Then saturday night Jerry and I went for a ride in his Z , got back and Jerry decided that he wanted to do an oil change (well overdue if I must say lol), so I snapped some pics while he did most of the work lol...I helped some Oil change on this car Jerry hard at work....VG30DETT!! NICOFTW!!It has wings lolAnd a few pics underneath the car...I got pretty creative lol Never been under the Z before so I got a crash course on some thingsApex-i FilterTurbo XS RFL BOV

lol yeah yeah I know I need to detail the undercarriage. Its on the list for next year The test pipes have a little surface rust/oxidation on them since they're not stainless. Other than that its just rusty bolts and stuff due to age. Want to come help out?

They do kinda look like it from the pics but they're certainly kouki s14's. I've seen them in person. Proper tail lights, somewhat angular headlights, proper grill, etc.

The Turbo XS RFL's are super loud. And as for the springs, they don't use springs, they run washers, the more you have in there the more boost it can hold, pretty simple design

Thanks for the comments on the Z btw
