Default Just picked up an '03 Track Edition with some mods...

'03 Track Edition, Black

Mods.
Injen Cold Air Intake
APS Intake Manifold
Aps Front Strut Bar
Nismo Exhaust
Nismo Short Throw Shifter
19" Work Wheel Meister S1's

I have a few things planned for it in the near future. I need to get my audio system from my Eclipse moved over. I also plan on powdercoating quite a few engine parts(I'm a prototyper and have two powdercating lines at my disposal).

These pics are from the Mitsu dealer I picked it up from. I'm in Chicago and have no plans to take it out in this crappy weather for a while. I'll update with new pics when I can!

Looking forward to being an active member of the forum...

Wow, man nice! Whoever traded that thing in took a huge hit by not parting that thing out first, and you reap the rewards, congrats!

Thanks everyone! I'm just trying to decide which color to paint the engine parts. Black Chrome is in the lead right now. Any suggestions?

I paid $23,899 and it has 40,000 on it. The interior is immaculate and there is only one small scratch on the rear hatch.

Congrats and welcome. You already have more mods than probably 85% of the Z's I see here in Chicago.

I got the ol' tape measure out and realized I actually have 20" Work Wheels on my new baby. One thing, though, the rear hatch gas shocks dont work for crap to keep the hatch open. Is there anywhere besides the dealer that I can pick up some replacements? Or does anyone have any tricks up their sleeves to get them to work?

The rear shocks tend to be weak if it is very cold out.
