Don't think ive ever fallen in love with a car before i test drove a 350z for the first time a few years back....

No way i could afford one at the time so i had to settle for a 1.8t jetta.
WORST MISTAKE EVER.

so 3 years after i bought it..i sold it.... and began my search for a Z

My search at the time came up with a 06 interlagos with
k for wayy to much at ta dealer.. but i test drove it and the craving became worse.

I then turned to a Z forum.. after goign thru a few of them i finally decided to join MY350z.com

i took a shot in the dark and searched the car classifieds and then i saw it.





a few week later ( today) it became mine.. ive learned so much on this site already (creepin). and hope to keep informed and learn even more as my Z and i grow old together.

got my first thumbs up from a solar orange Z here in the 805. felt fantastic.

Welcome and congratulations. Nice find!

 

Welcome and congrats.

 

Hopefully she wasn't abused too hard. Good find on the V2 and Volks(and shorty antenna) Hard to believe this car wasn't parted then sold. how many miles did you say this had on it? and what year?

Oh yea, welcome to the board!

 

Thanks, yeah shes pretty soild so i dont have too many worries of it being abused.

its an 03 with 79k on it. low miles for an 03 id say.

 

Nice Z op! Welcome!

 

Nice!

welcome and congrats

 

congrats man!!!! better take care of the car!

Thanks for the kind words. pretty excited to wash her for the first time tomorrow.

Steve, shes in good hands.

 

Wow looks good. +1 on how many miles?

 

like i stated above. got it with 79k.

some pics before it undergoes major audio surgery

 

Very tastefully modded, so what are your plans for the audio setup. I'm thinking about putting in two 10'' subs, but not sure if that's overkill for such a small space.

 

for the most part it already had an alpine amp going to all of my speakers, connected to the avec-d3
there was another amp that i just found out was fried, that was hooked up to a alpine sub. unfortunatly the 8 gauge that connects to the sub amp ( just picked up a 500 watt alpine amp) isnt big enough.

so im ripping all of the wire out and replacing it with a bigger gauge wire (12 from the battery and so on)

hopefully the sub it self isnt blown as well. but ill know in a few days after i get it all finished.

 

Well finally finished, replaced the dinky fried 220 watt with a 500 watt and replaced all of the bigger gauge wires.
Sub still bumps hard, but since its in the stock location, it rattles A LOT.so im getting a zenclosure and finding a new spot for the amps.

 

And this concludes this noobs thread. time to enjoy the times ahead.

 

clean.lets cruise the county man. i bought mine around the same time bro. mine black with xxr 962s.and finally decided to make my350z account. hit me up bro.
