I am game for whenever
I might take my exhaust off at the same party depending on when it is.

It will suck to have it stock for a while, but ohh well.
I was thinking of doing mine Thanksgiving weekend....

Mike, HAH
I only want $100.00 for mine...
AND I'll help install them...

Where the heck has Mike M been???

Aj, you have helix non polished non resonated.
That is the reason for the price difference.

I am already a member on that site as well. I like this one a lot better. But both sites are very informative.

Default A new brother to the Southeastern MI 350z community

I should have done this a while back. Better late than never I suppose.

I am a fellow D-metro-area owner and it is pleasure to be in good company. Figured I’d post a few shots from the summer and say what-up.

Looking forward to future good times.

I'm gonna whooop your *** son! J/k. But seriously, most Z/G's with 500-600 rwhp has the potential for 10's. You know, traction is the biggest issue for everyone though. I think you'll need 15 or 16 inch slicks with the 6sp to get into the 10's. When you break your stock half axles, I have a spare set for you. A more realistic approach to get to the 10's is TH350 or TH400 auto trans. So when is your Z shipping out from GA?

BTW......look how sexy this ***** is...........

Default No mods until the car’s paid off, emergency cash established, retirement maxed, etc.

Thanks for the compliment Zbrid,

Before the Z, I went civil and drove a G6 coupe for two years because I could afford it (GM and Chrysler family, take a guess on how they think of me now) and I wouldn’t mod a lease. Still beat the **** out of it and went through tires but hey that’s what lease cars are for.

Prior to that I blew nearly every thing I earned on a 97 Talon Tsi AWD and had her cutting high 12s at her peak. Young and dumb, at least from a financial perspective.

Being that Mitsu’s are inherently fragile, I eventually reached a breaking point and called it quits.

So until I can both feasibly and comfortably afford to make a true track Z w/ discretionary income, I’ll simply enjoy driving and honing skill on a voluptuous
full-sized sports car.

…But don’t get me wrong, I’ve done my fair share of wrench turning. The desire to go fast and/or a DSM will make a mechanic out of anyone.

Ride the line, nothing wrong with driving a stock Z, It still a lot of fun to drive.

I've had my roadster for 3 years and I'm just now doing some simple mod's to it.

I see some black Z's around here But I'm always in my truck when I see them! What city do you live in?
