Default New to Z's, some advice?

Recently picked up an 03' Z, 6spd touring in the Brickyard color :3
My only question is in regards to buying parts. What are some websites that are safe/good for buying stuff for it? I'm itching to mod it already but I don't know any other websites outside of Enjuku Racing and their supply is very limited. Any websites you guys have ordered from that you would recommend would be greatly appreciated in the comments

In before Mic's "driving school" post....

Here's the vendor directory: https://my350z.com/forum/vendor_directory.php

I would strongly suggest reading these 3 posts before modding for some tips:

Hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....... Heel, I owe you one now. Ask T'bo how I threw down.... then decided I'd be busy 50 years from now.

But yeah, I've now declared a moratorium on "Improve The Driver First" posts. As many times as I've said it, I doubt ONE person has paid any attention and actually gone to school. Apparently, hardware rules over software. Whatevs...

As an aside though, I'm going again early next year in prep for competition re-licensing (going to skip trying to waive licensing reqs because while I "practice" all the time, haven't had a comp license in a LONNNNNG time so going from scratch. Besides, it's cheap fun!! Aside from car rental....)

But ya, like Pengu said, I can "endorse" all of the vendors mentioned by name but one (as I've not bought anything from them.)

One not mentioned that I've dealt with favorably: THMotorsports. Good guys, good service.

1) had started w some homework.
2) asked poltely.
3) most importantly did not bring attitude or swagger.

In my opinion it was because the 1st response was polite and from a vet. The rest just fall in line.


Typical human behavior.


However if the 1st post was from a vet bashing him then everyone would've followed suit.


There's a term that describes this behavior but I cannot think of it.


Quick Reply: New to Z's, some advice?
