Default Oh Hai!

hai..

this weekend there was a major change in my life... after giving up on picking up a new car because of bad credit... an opportunity came up and I picked up a san marino blue 07 350z... unfortunately it is auto (i know , gay) however I find it to be quite a relief since I drove manual all my life, i have quite a commute to work, and i often face traffic. today i faced about 30 minutes of bumper to bumper stop and go traffic and it felt better... i have to say the tiptronics works better than i expected since i always talked **** about it...

however i do miss the clutch .. extremely ... so much that coming to a stop i tried to clutch on a non existing clutch with my left foot and stepd on the brake and nearly flew out the windshield...

Difference in power is great since I came from a VR6 GTI...

as of mods? i honestly dont think i will stay with this car for an extremely long period of time , so performance wise I don't think I'll do anything...

I will however be doing audio .. subs / tweets / horns ...

as far as wheels.. if i sell my GTI wheels I can possibly pick something up for the Z ...

Exhaust? I Want to get a little bit more growl out of it. Any suggestions? Does simply removing the resonator(s) give me a better sound?

Thinking about changing my HIDs to 6K .. they are DC2 in the projector right?

And I think i might pick up the wing for the trunk, and tint windows / tailights ...


Will include pictures today... still getting situated.

if you want a little more growl, sure you can remove the resonator, put in some hfc or test pipes. Or you can get the nismo, fujitsubo, injen whatever. For the headlights, im sure the 06-08 headlights use d2s, never heard of dc2. The older models use d2r. Anyways, welcome and good luck

Congratulations. Should have held out for a manual transmission though.

Great choice in color and year. I wouldn't worry about it not being a manual since you said your into traffic a lot. Have fun but be nice to her.
