I'm new to forum, and just thought i'd drop in and say hi. I started off with a 2000 Acura tl 3.2 as my first car, that i bought for 4 grand off of my dads friend a year and a half ago. It had a decent amount of mileage on it, but i thought it wouldnt really matter. A couple of weeks ago, my tranny started ago because a defective design out of the factory, it was supposed to be under recall, but Acura wanted 3,500!! for labor and parts for my transmission.

I'm getting ready to go to college, my dad decided to help me buy my second car. I sold my car for 3800, when my dad started looking around for a new car. We found my Z in a salvage yard, but there was nothing wrong with it, and it only has 70,000 miles on it. It turns out the car was a theft recovery, and it was being sold very cheap. We bought the car for 9750 after taxes

There are a couple of things i want to do to my 350z like change the rims ( currently has big 20in chrome rims on there ) and change out the interior trim pieces since they look like they are being warn out bad, but for the most part, i just want to clean it up. I think some mods might come after i get a good feel for the car, but until then, nothing else is being really changed

Pics of the Acura and the 350z:

 

Welcome and congratulations.

Maybe later you can give those wheels to a Honda driver.

 

Welcome.

Yes, please remove those wheels ASAP..

 

I still dont understand why everyone who's under the age of 19 ALWAYS has to tell how old they are, honestly we dont care.

 

Sorry, thought it was relevant to the whole dad putting in some money as grad/ going to college gift. but my bad.

and yea, i really just like the look of the stock 35th anniversary's, so hopefully i can snag a set on here for cheap

 

Wow. You stole that car. Good find. I'm not generally a wheel-basher, but WOW! Either get rid of the wheels or line your windshield with pink fuzz and hang some fuzzy dice. Yikes.

 

I know what you mean, but i've had the car for only 4 days. I'm looking to just buy rims since the tires are practically new, but its hard to find since the rears are staggered.

 

What are the sizes on the current wheels?

 

I believe they are 20x10 +48

 

+1

Swap those acura wheels with your Z without the Acura center cap and problem solved : ), if they fit.

 

They probably would, but i dont think they would look right on it imo. and goku, your actually only 10-15 min away from me, i live in south plainfield.

 

i don't even think the wheels are that bad, try cleaning your wheels and see how that looks

Thanks. I've already been on a couple of other forums, so i know about the search, grammar, etc.. and I have no idea why, on every forum i've ever been on, everyone always wants a pic of someone else's "GF", but i guess it cant hurt to look, right?

 

yikes that bothers me so much that the tint doesn't match on the Zed

 

*smells blood*

**circles**

 

salvage yards are scary its all about the repo yards

 

tint is actually being removed this weekend when i have time

 

They definitely are, thats where we bought my dads last car, but I'm happy with my purchase.
