Competitions
Best Car of the month
Well done to the nominee's of the February 2007 Best Car competition, the ten
nominee's were picked by members as their favorites in the garage, all
nominee's were worthy contenders for the best car title.
This month was a closely fought battle with some extremely tough choices due
to the superb variety nominated. We are certain to see the runners up
nominated again in the near future, these were:
2nd Place runner up – Paddy with his Nissan Pulsar GTI-R cunningly disguised as a mini (we salute Paddy)
3rd Place runner up – held jointly by Andy200sx and Gman’s Nissan Skyline
Huge congratulations to this month’s winner Vizibledog with his truly stunning
example of a 1998 Nissan Skyline R34 GTT that you will see proudly displayed in the garage and on the portal. This car will also proudly feature in the BanzaiClub
2008 calendar with last months winner StellaZ’s 300ZX Z32.
The Skyline is Stephen’s pride and joy (after his girlfriend of course – wink wink),
and now this stunning machine is also known as BanzaiClub’s best car for
February 2007, which we’re sure you’ll agree, sounds much more prestigious
than “the girlfriends nemesis†lol.
It is clear that Stephen has given this Skyline much love and attention, his long
shopping list includes the following:
Tein Super Street coilovers all round, DBA Brake Discs all round, GTR Brembo
Callipers with EBC Yellow Stuff pads all round, 18" Stich Evolution rims with
Eagle F1 rubber, Nismo N1 Bodykit, Ganador Supermirrors, Trust Exhaust, Trust
Decat, Trust Downpipe, Apexi induction, Greddy 8 Sparkplugs, Blitz I-color boost
controller, HKS Turbotimer, HKS Fuel Cut Defencer.
In addition and living up to its other name as “the bottomless money pit†this
aspirational Skyline is currently in the bodyshop having a makeover (not that it
needed one in our opinion). We are certainly all keen to see lots of pics of the
new look in the forthcoming weeks.
Well done from all at BanzaiClub, and we hope Stephen enjoys the trophy which
will reach him in a matter of days.
