Here are some pics from the National Z convention in Syracuse, NY. The event was held indoors at the Drivers Village at Burdick Nissan in Syracuse, NY. I managed to take first place in the Ultra Mod class and first place and admin choice in the Twinturbo.net/350Z forum Show and Shine.

The pics are huge so I used links..

Picture #3 and #5.

Wow. That is liquid red. I have to say I love those HRE wheels-gorgeous!

I bet you can get some sponsors for that car, or do you have some already?

**Pats300zx** · 08-20-2005, 06:03 PM

I have a few. Without their support the car wouldn`t look the way it does.

CONGRATS Pat!!!!

I will never get tired of seeing pics of that Z.

Wow, now I feel almost embarassed to post pics of my red ride.

Clean does not describe that car...Its on a whole new level. I`m blown away Pat

Im no import fan by any means but you just made me into one. Flawless doesnt even begin to describe your car. Simply incredible. It even looks fast standing still.

Just a stunning car, Pat! Every time I see one of those I`m amazed that the design is 15+ years old - it still looks so contemporary. And yours is definitely one of the finest examples of the breed.

Couple of pics of the suspension that you couldn`t see...

**Quickstrike** · 08-21-2005, 12:31 PM

Amazing! I have never seen such a clean engine before!

Is that the original factory paint?

Are you the original owner of this beautiful car?

**Pats300zx** · 08-21-2005, 01:39 PM

The only part of the paint that is not original is the pass side. A girl opened her car door into mine in mall parking lot several years ago. Her insurance company offered to paint the entire side to match it.

Everything else is original.

I purchased the car in 1992 and am the second owner. Its a 1990.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Looks incredible Pat!! Congrats!!! Very well done and modded, clean and mean!!!

Do you drive that car at all?

**Pats300zx** · 08-21-2005, 02:15 PM

Do you drive that car at all?

Not actually at this point its trailered everywhere.

**Richt** · 08-21-2005, 02:39 PM

Looking great as ever Pat. Been a long time since I saw some pics of your amazing car. Seeing it there actually made me miss concours day`s ( first season not doing it since 1999 this year). Looks fantastic keep up the good work. In the past I have been against the trailering of cars, but after looking those pictures I can understand why. One rock chip or rainstorm to undo all that hard work. You have the 350Z if you want a blast at least to. I just didnt like competing against trailered cars in Concours when I had driven to a show in the ran LOL! Keep it up, an Autopian car at its best.

Pfffff, couldn`t you at least clean that thing a little first? And that exhaust is pathetic!

Pat, I too never get tired of the picts. While I wouldn`t want my car to be *that* clean, it is absolutely amazing to see one that is. Your work on the details really pays off, it`s simply stunning!
