As I stated in my introduction thread in the main area I am new to this forum. I have owned my Z since 04' when I bought it new. I recently retired from the U.S Army after 20 years of service.

As of 2 weeks ago my car was 100% bone stock. As a retirement gift my wife took my car to a body shop to get fixed. Had a spider crack in the front bumper from someone bumping it. Was there for 1 1/2 weeks, but little did I know she got that fixed and her friend at the shop went ahead and made some mods for me. I was so shocked saturday when I got it back I couldn't believe what she had done. She is great, I mean to stick with a soldier for 20 years proves she is a great woman, but this totally shocked me.

Not only did she have my car done for me she made ma a appt at a local shop to have it put on the dyno, I have to go there today in a couple hours.

I now have the following mods:
-Nismo catback exhaust
-test pipes
-pop charged with z tube
-plenum spacer
-nitrous express wet kit
-19' wheels
-tien springs
-stillen sway bars

Sorry for the long post, I can't remember when I was so excited.

 

wow im glad your happy with the car. if there is any thing you need let me know ok

 

Damn I need to find a woman like that.... congratulations! (on the car too, lol)

 

she is a keeper man, you lucked out with that one

 

Congrats on the car and on the retirement.

 

Congrats on the retirement and the mods. Just remember, she will be expecting you to top that on the next birthday or holiday lol. In 15 years hopefully I will be at your point in life lol.

 

Wow, that's so cool DRILL.SARG, not surprised you were/are excited!!! Have fun with the new mods.

 

 

19' wheels? Tires must be what? 400/95/19' @ about $250,000 a piece??


Just kidding. Nice wife. Mine just gave me the go ahead to dip into saving for a TT kit. Also military.

 

Wow you got a 287 RWHP run ? ? ?

 

SOOOOOO Kool !!!!!! I bet u bout **** !!

Start bringing up the phrase "Forced Induction" in conversations

 

Great numbers for NA. Oh, and yeah, the wifee's a definite keeper...

 

That dyno is corrected to simulate Djynojet numbers-and it seems like its oversimulating fyi(you will dyno way lower on a Dynojet)-not downplaying your nice story and awesome wife. Congrats on everything, have fun with the nitrous!

 

What!? You have to ask her permission!? Mine just asked me, "So, what is UPS delivering this week?"

 

well i have a long way to see if mine is a keeper i'm newly married but moding my car is my own bussines as long as our life stuff r all in running smoothly and bills r being payed.

 

You got a good wife there, mine wouldn't know a catback from a dogback. Congrads on the retirement, I retired with 20 in 2003, I'm from Illiinois also. Waited till I got out to get my Z. Keep up the good work!
