Default New member with an 08 Z

Hello I have been reading on here a while now and decided to join finally. I just picked up an 08 Z last week. I'm quite happy with it so far just trying to keep this one stock for a while. Any who on to a few snaps.

Hey what are you doing with my car..Just kidding, car looks good. If thats a Touring we have the exact same car. I put spacers on mine just after I got it and it made the rays really stick out and made the car look 100% better. How much did you get it for?

Mine is just the Enthusiast Model. I paid 16.5 for it. Bought it from the original owner who was in his late 60's. So I know it hasn't had the crap beat out of it by a kid!

Oh sorry it has just over 40k on it. Not to bad it has aftermatket adjustable control arms so the tyre wear issue is not a problem anymore. He even put brand new Michellin Pilot Sport 2 tyres on it to sweeten it.

Thats not bad! I bought my 08 in feb of 2010 w/ 7,956 miles on it for 23,289 out the "door", so yours is tight ther where it should be.

What brand of/which control arms are you talking about? Front, rear? Pix? And especially keep an eye on the tires with those super expensive PS2s on there!

I am unsure as to what brand they are. I have all the paperwork from so I would have to dig through and find them. I believe it's just the fronts. I am finding myself checking the tyres after every drive just to be sure! Don't want to be putting those on every month. I will see if I can find out what they are. As for pics I could try to snap a few but it's put away for the winter already so I don't know if I can.

Thinking the color is not Silverstone, but Carbon Silver.

My car has a twin haha. Yup mine is a 6 speed. Still not used to that extra gear yet. I still find myself driving down the motorway in 5th gear. I am quite keen on the Carbon Silver it looks very nice on the Z. I wanted a Red one but I wouldn't have it any other way now.
