wheeldude: How much power are you making?
Glex: 398whp@ 7PSI, recently I had it at 9PSI and I put down 448WHP 430WTQ
wheeldude: wow how does it feel to drive something with soo much power?
Glex: Very hard to control in a tight AUTOX environment but great on a road course
Glex: thats why I also installed a Cusco RS LSD
Glex: Docile on the street unless you let it loose but great when you do also
wheeldude: Do you have any regrets?
Glex: none, enjoying it for what it is a great car with a great amount of power that has to be respected
Glex: Looks, power, drive ability it’s all there
wheeldude: what was your motivation behind your car?
Glex: I was originally looking to purchase a reliable RWD car. Look at the american cars some looked great on the outside but the interior were left with something to be desired. I started looking at German and Japanese cars. German cars were too expensive to maintain and had their own quirks. I started looking towards japanese vehicles my first choice was a 1996 Toyota Supra TT but the amount of money that was asked couldn’t justify its age. My criteria was 4 seats rwd japanese GT car and the only one that fit the bill was the Infiniti G35
Glex: I saw alot of potential in this car and the aftermarket parts that were available for it since it shared common parts with the Nissan 350z.
Glex: my criteria was 4 seats RWD Japanese Manual Transmission GT Car*
Glex: hoping to bring it to the power level that todays Supra owners enjoy.
wheeldude: How did your love for automobiles come about?
Glex: I since Junior high school I was looking at Automobile magazine and always fantasized over the italian exotics that covered the pages and the power that they made. In high school I started working part time at a mechanic shop learning as much as I could. My first vehicle 68 Camaro SS which I always worked on. My next vehicle was a 1995 Buick T-Type which was the year before the Buick Grand National made its appearance. Working on these vehicles gave me even that much more love for power and working on vehicles.
