It's a gray 04 base model... very basic Z but everyone seems to either like it or be jealous. lol.

I want to learn how to do more than just basic maintenance but am a little afraid of ****ing the car up, I wish I got into cars when mine was still a POS.

But I guess I need to at least put in a bar w/ harnesses to be able to compete at local tracks. I haven't even been to one yet, though. I think I'm going to sign up at the BMW car club. Strange, I know but their classes sound good and it's in the area.

I also want to put in a short shifter and a Sparco steering wheel. I'm not sure exactly why but I hate the stock steering wheel. Also, the orange reflector strips are driving me nuts and I need to get the clear ones asap. Maybe later I'll post my dream list of mods (don't worry, no NOS or lambo doors

 

Welcome

Don't waste your money on a short shifter, its not worth it.

 

you think?
The stock shifter is so much better than other MT's I've driven, I'm thinking it would really be better with -20 or even -40%

have any of you guys put one in?

 

welcome yea stick with the stock shifter my friend put one in his Z and hated it

 

Did he say why?

I read they transmit noise. Is this just a locking kind of sound when shifting, like you can hear in a parking garage, or is it constant background noise?
