Default Picked up an 03 for HPDE

Just picked up this 03 with plans for mostly sunny days and hopefully some HPDE days and autocross events at my local track. Looking forward to finding some good deals in your classifieds

Welcome and congrats on your LeMans Sunset Z! It looks like a performance (cloth seats) or touring (leather) model, so your first purchase should be a set of Brembo brakes for track use.

No problem.
There are a few members here with really well cared for '03s.
It looks like your car could be added to that list.
How many miles?

130k, it shows on the inside but not on the outside. The driver seat is shot but I planned on getting a set of Recaro's anyways The underneath is clean and the body is perfectly straight not even a whole lot of chips on the front bumper cover.

Welcome. I did the same thing this past spring. Got a 2003 Track Edition for HPDE. I absolutely love the car. Hopefully someday I'll move up to Spec Z with mine.

Congrats on the new Z.
