Default New Z owner in OH

well i guess i should post up some pics and info of the car. Just picked up an03 touring with 71k a few weeks ago. its in pretty decent condition has some blemishes on the passenger rear quater, looks like the previous owner had scraped something and took it to probably a macco because the blemish/scratches are painted over by clear coat along with the rear bumper looks like it had been replaced or just repainted, the silver is off a bit and it has some clear coat runs on the mud flap and the edge of bumper also exhaust has silver overspray. other than that the car runs great, it has a greddy evo2 exhaust, K&n intake, plenum spacer and hotchkis F&R sways. so far i have done an oil change and changed out the spark pkugs (found out i need new valve covers from tube seals leaking).
only other problem i really have is the TOB is really loud at idle and at low speed when giving it gas on a turn. the trans is also a bit notchy at times, i will do a 3rd gear pull then take it out and go try to put it in 6th just to cruise and it will either be very hard to get into like lock out or it will grind slightly.
heres some pics after a long detail





and the two girls

Thanks, once I get my civic sold I'm going to get some coilovers, wheels/tires with an aggressive stance and semi fat tires no stretched look for me. And then save up some more and get some other things to make it fun. I've been looking into res test pipes but not sure if it's going to make it too raspy.

Welcome. I had some test pipes on my 350z back when I had it and I thought it sounded pretty good. Only got loud when I got on it. lol

yeah it was a monster only weighed about 2100 lbs with the cage and me in it lol
not the best looking but it was just a track car. it was just a mildly built motor stock sleeves, pretty much stock head just all new oem valves and seals, valve job block was just rods,pistons bored .5mm, bearings, balanced crank.

Nice civic and it brings back the memories! Looks like an H series in there, but I could be wrong. Cool none the less!
