Default Another one...03 350z at its prime

What's up. Bought my 03 350z silver stone grey 6 speed January 8th of 2011 as my first car. I kinda creep on this forum but joined another one because I heard u guys flame a lot. I admit some of my newb questions would have gotten me flammed so glad I waited so long hehe. When I got her she looked stock but had k&n intake wit some no name ram air (which I'm selling local and has a loud whistle), 06 wheels and a borla exhaust. Sense then I added a viper 5901, titek cf air duct, stillen splitter, momentum cold air, z1 1/2 spacer, nitto invos, fair lady z badge, and have on the way some bc coilovers and kinetik full camber kit. Also just got in touch with boosted proformance and ordered one of his mid mount turbo kits. Obviously I know this thread isn't complete without pics so here they come.

This is when I first got her

This is at my first lil meet in Austin (live 6 hours away though)

Welcome to the boards. I like how you mentioned joining another board first because we tend to flame a lot here. That statement wouldn't be inaccurate, lol.

Welcome

I hope this isn't your FIRST car, if so, don't put a turbo on it
It won't end well

Sir speedy I appreciate ur advice but disagree because I can , it is my first car and I don't see anything wrong with putting turbo on it now as appose to 5 years from now. Ima keep a conservative tune at 370-390 horsepower to stay on the safe side till I deploy. Also I believe maturity is based on who u are and how u act. Not on age. Yes I'm 19 but ask anyone I know and they will say I'm more mature. Also I don't race my car every light so that's a plus. Thanx deno, I like the clean look. Pmab, bring it on. I'm ready now haha. Blur blur, bronzee and flo rida. Thanks for the warm welcome

I thought you had to be "flamed in" to start a thread? I must have been lied to years ago.

Spent some mulah on the turbo so spacers r next but yes the attention is in the right area. When I deploy and pay everything off, might just build engine before I focus more on cosmetics. Function over form right?

Lurking is a must for this site or you end up like Dugan.
