From FRS to 350z!
 
Hi all!

I'm a local Seattle guy and I know the Z community is big out here so i'm excited to join you all!

A little about myself:

I'm 21, I'm a Tacoma native, and I work here in downtown Seattle as a Legal Administrator at a local law firm. I got into cars around the age of 7-8 and absolutely fell in love with the Honda s2000 after the first F&F in 2001.

As you guys have read from the title I was actually an FRS owner before my Z. What did I think of it? Amazing. loved the car. loved the way it drove. and I found myself reminiscing about it on my first windy road earlier this morning in my Z (only with more power this time :icon44:). I actually kept the FRS completely stock, and I eventually ended up selling it because I lost my previous job.

I just bought my 2004 Super Black 350z Enthusiast last night

So what is my goal for this car?
1. Looks
2. Enjoyability

I'm going to be aiming more for a track-inspired look (i personally hate stance/lowlife/scrapers/etc) I will be doing small engine modifications here and there but I'm not aiming for anything crazy high in HP numbers or anything like that. This will be my daily driver after all.

What do I have planned?
1. Work Meister S1 3P (Will update with setup)
2. V3 Nismo front bumper
3. Nismo side skirts
4. Nismo Wing
5. Cut rear bumper in half (inspiration will be below)
6. KEY's Racing Steering Wheel
7. Circuit Soul Shift Nob
9. STATUS seats
10. Takata Harnesses
11. Blacked out housing headlights
12. Interior refinish

Mods completed by previous owner:
- AEM Cold-air intake
- K&N drop in
- Invidia N1 Racing exhaust
- Stance Coilovers
- Some front bumper with a wind splitter on it

Will update with current pic soon..

Here is my inspiration for cutting the rear bumper in half:

^I love watching that car on youtube! But anyway back on topic. Welcome to the Z family. I fell in love with the S2000 too and I had an Integra and an RSX-S before the 350Z and even though I really wanted an S2000 at the time I'm now in love with my Nissan. I hope you enjoy yours:thumbup:

Where can i find a wing like that?

vex008 11-21-2014 12:25 PM

Welcome.
assuming the Sides and Wing would be V3 as well to go with the front.
Nice wish list.

Oh wow, i really like that. I think its the meaty-ness of the wheels that I like the most about it.

Althought thats just the rear bumper taken off. I think it will look A LOT cleaner when its cut in half properly!

FR-S has no power. It has no need to be RWD, it's a joke.
