Default New(ish) owner.

Hello, everyone! My name is Rohan. I got my Z a few months ago but I haven't really posted much on here yet. I wanted to introduce myself. I previously owned a TT Z32. I came to this car to continue the Z legacy. Bought her from a dealership. She is in amazing condition. Single owner, all records, maintained at one dealership, etc. I had her about 3 days before I got tired of the stock setup. It's pretty weak out of the factory. Since then, the modding has begun!

This is the night that I picked her up from the dealership. Got a nice bath, claybar, and wax.

A few days later. Fortune Auto coilovers and full SPC suspension.

From stock to stock but lower.

The car stayed like this for a while. But I soon got tired of the beat up 35th anniversary wheels. I did what most would do on a strict budget. I bought some Plastidip. She sat for a while like this. I wasn't happy but I was content.

Until I came across my dream wheels! I picked them up and dropped them off to the powdercoater's shop shortly after. During that time I raised the front and rear up a little and rolled the rear fender. This is how she sits now. She's awaiting a new exhaust tomorrow.

It looks a little better in person. This color shows up bright in pictures.

103k and some change.

The wheels were 3k. They are Volk TE37's.

Looks good. I'd either raise the front or lower the rear a bit to even it out. Looks uneven lol. and i'd get a 10-15mm spacer for the front and you're good to go!

Odd, maybe it's the picture. I may space the front but I'm not entirely sure yet. My next focus is on boost of some sort. I will never be content with this car being NA.

Hey Rohan, welcome to the forum and congratulations on carrying on the Z legacy. It doesn't seem to have taken you very long to start modding. Long may it continue. Which exhaust are you going for?

Thank you!

I have a full Fast Intentions exhaust in my garage. Test pipes back. It should be on tomorrow.

Can't see pix at work, but sounds like the car is in good hands.

Welcome to (actively) being on the forum!
