G20.net: How, when & why did you first acquire your Infiniti G20?
Scott: I got my first g20 around 2004, but more importantly I got my Mini Cooper after both g20's were ripped from my possession in May of 2008. My white g20 was totaled thanks to some jerk that decided to run a stop sign and my green g20's motor blew a few month before that. Tie in the fact that I graduated and am in the search of starting my career it just made sense to get rid of my addictions.

G20.net: What were your original plans for the car and have they changed?
Scott: My original plans for the car were to keep it stock for a year. I've managed to do it so far, and I only have one month to go but I am starting to get the itch.

G20.net: What performance modifications have you made to your car?
Scott: I think my right foot is a great performance tool.

G20.net: Do you have any dyno numbers?

G20.net: What suspension modifications have you made to the car?
Scott: The OEM runflats are notoriously crappy so I replaced them with some nice Bridgestone Potenzas.

G20.net: Any cosmetic modifications to the exterior?
Scott: My mom decided to make a custom dent right next to the MINI emblem on my hood one day. She managed to do this by shutting the garage door with a ladder in the way, thus making the ladder fall onto my car.

G20.net: How about the interior?
Scott: Custom dirty paw prints from having Sherman ride in the back seat after romping in the local creeks.

G20.net: Have you made any upgrades to the stock sound system?
Scott: Nah, NPR sounds great coming from the stock system.

G20.net: Any future modifications we should look out for?
Scott: Yes, a boat load of stuff... just don't hold your breath. Some of the things I'm looking at doing in the next year or two are lowering it, putting on my ADRs, exhaust, intake, pulley, tint, and if I really wanna go crazy I'll probably add an Aero kit later on down the road.

G20.net: How and when did you first find G20.net?
Scott: I first found gnet after googling whether or not an sr20det could fit into a g20. My first posts were pretty stupid, but I quickly learned the ropes and haven't looked back since.

G20.net: How has this site benefited you?
Scott: I've made some amazing friendships through this site and that's something that I will always be grateful for. It has also provided me with numerous days of entertainment. Keep up the good work folks.

G20.net: Any last comments you would like to make?
Scott: I'd like to thank Kyle for making me a MOTM for the 2nd time regardless of whether or not I have a g20. i would also like to thank North American Motoring.com for giving me a decent fix for Mini stuff while still confirming that g20.net is the best automotive forum on the internet. To everyone that has helped me with cars, photography or life, thank you so so much.
