Default Newbie with Brickyard Z track model

Hi everyone, just joined 350zmotoring and decided to join this forum as well. Anyway i bought an 03 Brickyard track model Z. I got it for $13.5k with 66k miles in great condition. It came with extended warranty and 35% tints. It's an absolute blast to drive and a big upgrade from my 04 SER SpecV.

Future mods: JWT popcharger, Motordyne plenum spacer, Bassani Exhaust, wheel spacers, Leather seats

Im a newbie using my friends computer right now, so im not sure if these pics will work? sorry

You need to either host the photos on a website like photobucket or similar. To upload a file from your computer when you post a reply, go down under the message bo0x where it says additional options and select manage attachments. From here you can upload a file but it is restricted by file size so you may need to resize it to shrink the file.

Welcome to the forum

Thanks everyone for the warm welcoming, "dragonbreath" someday youll have a Z, the prices have dropped a lot (only reason i got one lol). Its a nice upgreat, but again i do miss the light nimble feel the SpecV had. The Brick color is great, ive never seen one in person before "but the SAME day i got the car i see one parked 2min away from my house LOL, good thing it wasnt a track model.The car's high miles doesnt affect anything since previous owner took care of it (only problem was Lots of rock chips on hood, Passenger side power window motor needs to be replaced, and i got the feathering issue) but it did come with extended warranty so maybe theyll cover them? All in all im very happy with the purchase and i look forward to getting more involved in this forum. here are some pics of my SER

Then HFC/leather seats/new headunit right after that.

Congrats on your purchase. That has got to be the best looking 03 I have seen yet. It looks like the previous owner took really good care on the car. The color just sets the car off. I have never seen Brickyard in person but from the picture it looks like a beauitful color. Very rare kinda like the 06 integros fire.

Looking good. Probably a bit late now, but the Turbo Wax Headlight Restoration kit is awesome!! Easy to use, doesn't take long and isn't aggressive like wet sanding.
