Default Z owner once again!

Picked up another Z today to daily drive! 04 Touring Lemans Sunset with 119k miles. Clean title. Considering what I paid and the condition it is in I think i came out pretty well. It needs a little TLC but I can't wait to start modding again.

So far, the only aftermarket parts I have found on the car are an injen short ram intake with no heat shield (coming off asap), and a stillen true dual exhaust. Going to replace it as well but it doesn't sound too bad for now.

Hope some of the same guys that used to be on here are still active (doubtful)

Words don't described how good it feels to drive a Z again. Even though is slow as ****

Here are a couple quick pictures

Welcome back!

Looks clean and I love those seats.

Any plans for mods or you keeping it stock since you have the Evo?

Yes still have the Evo. It's having a fuel issue that I can't figure out and it's pretty damn frustrating.

On another note, I found out the Z has what looks to be some Stillen headers on it already. Guess i'll leave them on there. Also found a little oil leaking. Looks to be from the oil pan. Hopefully an easy fix.

Finally got back into Z's, my last one was a 79 280zx when I was 16! Just picked up a 2003 Touring with 38K miles.. Great car to drive, I love it already..

Very clean Z and nice color! What are your plans for this one? You had the HR before, how do I initially feel about the DE this time around?

I had a DE, then an HR now another DE. HR models are definitely a better car all around obviously. But I didn't buy this to go crazy fast in. Just as a fun daily. I'll be happy with 260whp. Just going to do bolt ons and tune. Coilovers and wheels. Not going to spend a whole lot on it like my last one.
