lil background.

im 22 in the airforce and i been round this website n the many other z sites for sometime now doing my research on the car and watnot. well i finally got a 04 black enthusiast after deciding i didnt need anything extra aside from the traction control n lsd. not to mention i rather like the cloth seats. prior to the z i owned a 04 jaguar S type for about a year and a 01 canadian GSR which i owned for 5 years which i did many solo 2 events in. sold the integra cause i thought i was done w my obsession of modifying cars so i got a ***uar. well a year later decided it was deff not wat i wanted n i needed something i could modify. ive owned the z for about 2 weeks now i painted the wheels black (sand,primer,lowgloss paint, clearcoat)tinted the front lower reflectors and did the black housing on my headlights (wat a pain) along with that i got a jwt pop charger and a SRS catback. ( i kno i kno ebay exhausts suck blah blah blah had a welder take a look at the welds he said they looked good so i installed) looks and sounds amazing. not to mention for the under 300 price i payed shipped to my door i figured ive waited more money on stupider things.. anyways. lots of mods to come and my first attempt at a solo 2 in this thing will be in brooksville fl on the 18th enjoy.

on to the pics

heres my Z this thing is a blast.

Welcome!

My Dad has a type S. He just had to replace the motor at 74k because the auto tensioner failed. It has a plastic piece known to wear out and put slack in the chain (his skipped two teeth). Upon doing research for him, I found even more info about the auto tranny you cant service and that seems to fail constantly. I hope he doesnt have that go next.

Ive never had the chance to open up the type S or put it through some turns.

I actually dig the paint on the wheels. When I read that I literally though *yea, this going to look horrible* I ended up thinking *hmmm, my wheels are scratched...* The only thing I dont dig is that shift ****, too small for the Z. The Z is muscular car, thats a midget ****. Phreaktor can tell you all about midget *****.

thanks!!

i had the jag for a year n a couple months.. it was in the dealership atleast 3-4 weeks in that year.. all sorts of electrical problems. drove good and comfortable but will never own another. tell your pops to get ride of that thing.. it has a massive snowball effect.

ya i thought the painting the wheels thing would turn out bad. but ive had other z owners ask me if i got them powdercoated.. after sanding them real real good and primering. i sanded them again untill all the old curb rash n scratches on the wheels were gone turned out alot better then i thought.

i like the small **** hand wont ever slip off it.. not to mention i had it lying around w a locking nut and my factory 1 was all scratched. it just so happened to be 10mm so i threw it on

i just installed exhaust today.. but check bk tom ill see if i can get a quick clip in the mornin before work.. im looking into some test pipes possibly in the future.. from the inside atleast the exhaust is fairly quiet.(buddy of mine said when i drive by its pretty loud but i havent heard it outside) much louder then stock but w hfcs or test pipes it would be amazing. inside when driving u hear the exhaust up 2 about 4.5-5 rpm... then the jwt is just so damn loud. im quite pleased w it tho. might get some different tips down the line to do something diff but unless it cracks this will be the catback. looking into a good Ypipe and some sway bars here on this next paycheck.

Nice looking Z, congrats! That Jag looks sweet too; nice job modding it to look classy, young, and sporty. I'm sure you'll improve upon the Z based on your previous cars, look forward to future pix. Cheers!

cruise control = not a base.

isnt the volume controls on the right side? or am i getting things confused :/

pbass6811

You are confused, bro. Cruise control buttons are on the right side. Radio buttons would be on the left side. It's at least an Enthusiast...
