That car on the show was my buddy Steve's car. That show was taped a couple of years ago and is just airing now. The tuning industry for these cars has come a long ways since then...we have learned alot. This car looks even better in person. We have some nice future plans for that car comming up real soon.

Hey everyone, I am the owner of the Fine Tuned 350z... I have kept a low profile on the forums do to the fact I was under contract for the show..

My 350z is pretty ridiculous and amazing to drive. I drive her everyday to and from work. I am truly grateful for all of the work that the show did, but Im still not done yet..

The only thing I disliked on the show was I was not able to work on my own car.. Im a grease monkey at heart and love to work on cars..

In regards to the SC vs TT, since the show was done in CA and I live in San Diego, the show had to fix the car to CA Smog standards.. and the Vortech SC is one of the only 50 state CARB legal SC out there.. I am definitely not one to complain.. I love how my 350z looks, handles, and performs.. The Cops in SD love it too.. They just HAVE to pull me over to ask about it.. lol..

Since the show, I have added a few more mods (different exhaust, headers, test pipes, Shunk2 spacer, solid motor mounts, etc ).

My friend, Scott, at Relentless Autosports and I have a few special plans for the 350z including increasing the boost, actually tuning the motor (cause of the poor dyno numbers), and lowering the final gear to either 3.9 or 4.08.. That’s just a start.

I'm confused man.

I've seen your car on Ebay, and now I it's on craiglist. You had stated that you were trying to sell it off b/c you needed the money, now you're doing upgrades?

Can you verify that this is your post?:

Just calling it like I see it..

I have been up in the air about sell my 350z due to the Master's program going to cost me over 20k.. It wasnt until recently (I met with the OSO on Wednesday of this week) that I talk to the USMC OCS OSO were I asked about education continuation and loan payback. She told me that USMC started a new program (applies only for graduates from this year) to pay off all student loans and pay 100% of graduate school.. hence the decision to keep the 350z. I just haven't had the time to take the ad off of Craigslist..

No worries, after re-reading my post it sounded kinda harsh. I was just suspicious that someone was trying to sell your car in Palmdale and I thought you were in San Diego.

Did'nt wanna come off as a hater....

Good luck with school..
