new to me 08 Carbon Silver Metallic Touring Model
My Brickyard/Carbon Fiber 350Z was wrecked as of 7/31 by the detailer that had possession of the vehicle at the time. There was a lot of bad luck around that car. I'm hoping with the purchase of the new one, I will have some better luck.
I picked it up from a guy in KC that had already done a few things:
KW Variant 3 Coils
StopTech Front BBK
StopTech Rear Slotted Rotors
Hotchkins Sway Bars
Quaife LSD
Z1 Clutch/Aluminum Flywheel
Corner Balanced
I took the exhaust off of my old Z and swapped it to this one. Still need to buy headers & test pipes since this one is different. I also had to have the exhaust tips straightened out because they were bent in the accident. Still trying to find replacement tips for the exhaust but I can no longer find the HKS tips on eBay. I also bought it with the stock 5 spoke wheels, but just got the new wheels mounted just yesterday and here we go!
Will be doing the Nismo V2 bumper again, Chargespeed Bottomline side skirts and Mastergrade Rear Diffuser with the Blitz Lip Spoiler. Still looking into what engine mods I plan on doing as well, but all in due time.

Basically, the guy was driving it when he shouldn't have been and he went off of the interstate at 80+ mph according to witnesses. Totalled it after hitting a pole, then about 3 trees, driving back down the embankment, across the interstate and into the center wall.
I'm not sure why they moved me to the 370Z "new owners" forums - I've been an owner for a long time and this is a 350Z. I was just starting another build thread, like I did with my old Brickyard.
The master cylinder went out after only 2 weeks of owning the car though. Ordered the Zspeed kit (Wilwood MC) and looking at doing their CSC Kit as well.
