New owner! northern burbs of chicago
Hey all!
Wanted to say "hi." I just purchased a 2006 350z Enth. manual trans in silverstone gray. I am loving the way this car drives, sounds, and feels. I've never owned anything this powerful. I was a Honda guy that was used to FWD 4 cylinder vtec engines. My last car was a 1998 Honda Prelude that I totalled in this treturous chicago snow... Although I am sad to see the prelude gone, I am enjoying every minute driving this thing. It feels very solid and powerful (something you didn't quite get with Honda's unless you reved the heck out of it). The only thing I need to get used to is RWD in the snow. However, I did just get a set of winter tires and rims that seemed to help tremendously!
As far as future mods, I don't think ill be doing anything other than maybe adding a stock spoiler. As far as appearance, it already looks pretty bad ***.
Anyone around the chicago area?
I also ride a CBR 600rr in the summer time. Any other sportbikers out there?

Congrats EZRA, I know you just got your Z but what are you doing driving it in the winter??? My baby (06 silver Z) is in the garage untill at least April. If you have the stock tires on your Z still they will be slick at these temps. I hope to see you around (when it gets warmer) Randy p.s. I live in Zion

I've already found this site to be useful. I noticed after I purchased the Z, my right rear turn signal light fixture is loose. Seems like you can wiggle it around by pushing it back and forth. I'm guessing i need to take the bumper off and tighten down the screws back there. Found an excellent write up on how to take the bumper off.
