At last, my Z!
TLDR Below
Hello fellow Zenthusiasts, I've been lurking the forums for a little while before I finally decided to buy my own Z and finally make a thread! Before I talk about the Z, I figure I should talk about my car experience thus far. My first car was a 2000 Eclipse RS auto, got it back in high school for about 4k with 150k on the odometer. It served me well as I never had any problems aside from a dead battery and cracked radiator. When I first got it I also signed up for the forums on Club3g.com, and taught me everything I needed to know about the platform. I did some modifications to it such as coilovers, projector headlights, and wheels. It taught me many things about cars, and it will always hold memories dear to me. But due to the car being unlucky of sorts(hit about 3 times on seperate occasions), restoring the cars body was going to possibly override the worth of the car.
That's when I knew it was time for a new car. I had already knew I wanted to get a z33, so I came here to lurk for info on the Z. I knew I wanted a either a Daytona Blue or a Redline. It also had to be a manual, under 100k miles, and at least an Enthusiast. I found a good deal about 5 miles from me, a 2006 Redline Enthusiast. I knew about the oil consumption problems some of them had, so I made sure this Z didn't have any. The car has a clean carfax and was a single owner with all the listed maintenance. I got it for 13k, and am very pleased with it! Loving every moment with it and will for a very long time.
TLDR Had an eclipse, got tired of it and bought a Z.
As for mods, I'm keeping it stock for now. I do plan on removing the pinstripe, not really sure how as I'm paranoid about damaging the paint. The car is pretty much bone stock except for the tint and an aftermarket head unit, still deciding on a double din touch screen unit (recommendations please!)
Here's my eclipse aswell.
