Hey guys, new here so I'll introduce myself..
I'm David, from Seattle, and I'm looking into purchasing an '07 (HR) Z here in a couple months maybe.
I've been in and out of this forum, learned a few things, and decided to join to benefit my Z knowledge a bit more.

I've owned a z32tt a couple years ago and I loved it (boost <3)!
Bought a Honda CBR600, sold it after the summer of 2012.
Bought a 2003 BMW 330ci. Currently in the process of paying it off, but I should be done within a few months at the latest.

Up 'till a couple days ago, my options were..

Option 1-
Build an SR20 and drop it into an s13 shell (>400whp)

Option 2-
2007 350z

Option 3-
S2000

The car will be my daily driver. I want speed, I want a nice, yet simple interior, I want reliability, durability, and I want to have fun with the car. I don't want to feel bad when I redline each gear.

I'm not an a-hole driver but I will pull on the freeway when I'm with my friends.
Also, I'm looking to have my next car for a relatively long time.

I think I've made the right decision by picking the HR Z. Don't you?


First thing would be exhaust.. I love the Motordyne TDX exhaust.. sounds so nice! But the HKS True Dual exhaust sounds sick too.. not sure which one to pick from.. any opinions?

Wheels.. I'm still deciding, but I'll probably go with Work S1's.

I'm still clueless on the suspension though.. I want it to be low, but not so low that I have to turn around from every speed bump..
Also, that doesn't mean I don't want quality! I think the $800-$1100 price range should be satisfactory, no? I'd love a few suggestions for suspension!

Anyways, I'll be on here for a while, scoping the different threads and whatnot. Feel free to leave your opinion!

Also, I know the HR's internals are beefed up a little more than the DE's.. so F/I might be in the cars future..

 

Welcome! Yay E46!

 

Thanks! Work vs-xx's would look real nice on the Z..

 

Good Luck! David 206

 

Yes, VSXX always look good on a Z
