"Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity, all it takes is a little push." My wife was perfectly content with her '07 Toyota Corolla, that is until I pushed her to test drive a 370Z. A couple weeks later she was terrorizing the streets in a stock 2013 Magma Red 370Z she dubbed "HYPRZED". That honeymoon lasted about a week before she had a decent mod list already compiled (wheels, intakes and exhaust). Enter Fast Intentions. I remembered Tony at Fast Intentions from my G37 ownership days and after a few forum searches later it confirmed they were still the leader in G/Z exhaust fabrication. She landed on the TDX Cat Back exhaust with Carbon Mufflers, 12" resonators and threw in some resonated test pipes for some extra oomph. At that point Co-owners Tony and Dan embraced us as family and a budding friendship had formed. We got Tony's personal Nissan GT-R (lets call this version 1.. A v2 blog post is in the works) out for some industrialized chaos around the Port of Long Beach. The FI GT-R "GRAYHZE" v1 featured a full bolt on setup capped by a prototype Fast Intentions exhaust, exorbitant amounts if carbon fiber and ADV1 wheels. After a two hour burst to eight unique locations we called it at day.  Even during a sunrise weekend shoot we still had to do some traffic avoidance to get some clear shots and evade strict Port Security.  I felt Tony, a Navy veteran, would get a kick out of featuring a newly restored WWII ship with his 600whp beast.  A quick stop at the ship and we headed back inland.  GRAYHZE overlooking the heavily congested port with an army of container cranes looking like a group of AT-AT Walkers (Yes, that's a Star Wars reference).  We jumped ship over to the North side of the hill for a little carving.  Heading down to the Pacific, trying to avoid constant bicycle traffic.  More Pacific Ocean cloud porn  A quick stop at the KBoF always yields great skies.  Nothing peaks my interest more than colors and architectural detail. Best of both worlds.  One final spot in Pedro before heading back down to the port.  Hitting up some Transformers/ Terminator 2 spots.  ADV1s from above.  "The Kick" bridge featured heavily in the final act of "Inception"  Beautiful and lightweight AVD1s with some serious caliper color pop showing through.  CARBON ALL THE THINGS! B-sides        The wife's aforementioned HYPRZED on 20" R35 Black Edition wheels with Chameleon Plasti-Dipped touches and Stillen V3 intakes installed. Future posts highlighting the Carbon FI exhaust to come in the future! |
