Default 2003 Lemans 350z 6spd

Got the car with 140k miles.
6 Speed
Orange Leather Seats
20% Tint (had to rip off front two windows to get a sticker)
Double din radio(forget model but color matches factory amber controls)
Injen cat-back exhaust
Test Pipes(not sure model)
Carbon Fiber overlay on roof/pilars
OBX underdrive/lighweight pulleys
Injen Intake
Plenum Spacer
Needed one abs sensor in rear which I got for $60 off ebay
For $7400 and drove to NJ to get the car(I live in northern MA near NH boarder)

What I added was

Kinetix v2 Intake Plenum and removed throttle body coolant plate
Sand blasted origional wheels and painted gunmetal
Wire wheeled calipers and painted copper
Orange Annodized Studs
12" Pioneer 2.75" subwoofer hidden in stock location with amp
4 Boss Audio components with factory amp and aftermarket amp powering
Amber leds that light up floor and beat to the bass(they were $20 I had to haha)
With my K.A.T Matrix 3-axis accelerometer I ran a 13.6 at 107mph

I am adding a wideband o2 sensor/gauge (purchased) and a utec(purchasing)
also short tube headers( I can do the work myself so it's worth it imo)
But 3 broken ribs has stopped me from working on it right now





I was also thinking about lowering the car with a set of Hotchkis for a very minor drop and so the rear tucks in more for launches.

Welcome!

Nice color but I'm not feeling the CF roof/a-pillar combo. I would extend the CF to the hood, hatch and mirrors to make it flow more. I see from the pics that the CF almost matches the gunmetal color of the rims. Or just replace the CF with matte black on just the roof and front bumper lip. If you want the CF, possibly just strip off the a-pillars. Those 2 options seem to be the most popular schemes.

But again, this is your car and it's you that decides what looks best. Search around on here and enjoy the Z!

140k miles is a gamble. Hope this works out for you.

No oil consumption at all. I've owned it for about a year now. The cf looks a lot better in the light(i'll get a pic next time it's out) but it was on the car when I purchased it.
I was thinking about doing a hood/trunk cf combo. I have the money, but not sure if I want to spend $1500 on a car I drive a few thousand miles a year.

Also, I bought it from northern NJ 20 min from the boarder...I forget the city name

I agree! Though I would have taken white also

UTEC is being shipped to my house and my o2 bung welded at correct angle is ready for my wideband setup. Though I am not sure where I am going to put the gauge yet..I am again pillar pods and I have my 5" gps mounted in the stock gps location

Haha nice catch, you know what I mean

I took out the car sunday and forgot to take an outside picture which shows the cf roof overlay.

Also 60k miles left...thats about 20-25 years of driving!
