Very true, and part of why the listing exists in the first place

The listing is pretty simple and I think self explanatory - and I fully expect the part seriousness of it and part tongue-in-cheek nature of it to be lost on some people.

We have done writeups on installs in the past, and will continue to do so, and when appropriate, we post them on our blog. Unlike a lot of other vendors out there, we are among the few who readily contribute to the tech side of the forums, and don't just hover in the for sale section. Sometimes those contributions lead to a sale, sometimes they don't, but that isn't the purpose of the contribution. Both Kwame and myself are original Z33 owners since 2003. I've owned a Z in one form or another since 1993, and have been involved in everything from bolt ons to major builds of all year and chassis code Z's from S30's to a Z34's;Z's are just a passion of ours, always have been.

hey i am just jumping the band wagon.

I have never had an issue with Z1. Everything thus far that i have purchased and or called about was taken care if with ease.

And if there is someone who does go for that, then more power to you! LOL

While considering my build (which has'nt happened yet) I received immense support and assistance from Z1. I am comfortable saying that they helped me with big decisions and ideas for the build over any other tuner or company out there. There readily available knowledge and willingness kept me going back for more. To me, the willingness and knowledge shows me who I was going to choose for the predominance of the purchases and setup. Its about customer service with a strong background too. Z1 has them both. So I still give props to Z1 for their efforts in this community.

HUGE +1

I definitely have more respect for the Z1 guys than most of the other vendors on here.

Adam was MORE than helpful in helping me select my coilovers, camber arms, etc etc, resulting in easily over an hour of questions and answers and my order placed right away.

$100/hr to get consulting with all of Z1's expertise is more than reasonable.
