hey h8bumps. is ur spacer just a regular one?meaning not isothermal or copper?if so does it affect ur car during the cold?
My spacer *WAS* just a regular one (I sold all my mods -- got rid of the Z). All spacers are the same, I believe. The 'isothermal' refers to a gasket that gets installed underneath the lower plenum, along with valves that you splice into your coolant lines to heat the plenum. 'Copper' refers to valves that will heat your throttle body. IMHO I don't think the coolant valves are worth it, but the gasket is probably a good idea. Of course, the spacer and MREV provide will make the biggest difference.

Hey man, welcome.

Chef-J is over in grand rapids. He's working on his vortech install right now. But he doesn't post in this thread very much. Most of the ppl here are on the east side, but ur welcome to come over and hang with us anytime.

Actually I'm hoping to head out to grattan and gingerman this year so I'll be on the west side a few times too. Plus I have an uncle that live in GR.

Welcome and post pics of ur car!! Any plans? Track? Drag? Drift? Show? DD?

Do any of you guys have a use for a set of RTP's for an 07-08 Z? I just found my set that I had on my Z. I made a for sale thread on here, but I figured a lot of you guys just come straight to this thread. Haha, hopefully I'm still allowed to talk to you guys, even though I'm a traitor.

Welcome Liberty Dante, nice pickup that has low miles for an 03...

Mrev is what the product is called its from Motrodyne. Its a peice for the "plenum" or intake as most people call it. There is alot of stuff out for the Z compared to the Mercedes man. What did you have before???

Ian you are always welcome man, someone eill buy them.
Telling you I sold my testpipes for what I wanted price wise in a little over 5 days in the marketplace on this site. Oh yeah when I get the 370 we are going to have some fun and see how well I keep up against your boy racer toy.. :-)

haha, I've been drooling over the 370 pictures I've seen. If I could somehow fall into a bunch of money and afford that along with my Evo, I would be all over it. You'll have to take me for a ride or something this summer when you have it. I'll take you for a ride in my glorified DSM if you want.

I just don't feel like shipping these, even though they are small. I was hoping to find a local buyer, but I don't think there's even many people on here with modded HR's. Oh well, I'll give it a few more days and then just put it in the marketplace.

Thanks guys! Right now, I'm just going to be using it as a DD. I'm trying to decide what I want to do with it. It's quite clean as it is. I couldn't pass up the price and low miles for an 03.

Motordyne takes lower plenums and modifies them to produce more HP. The mod is called and MREV2 (or simply MREV). Beware of fakes sold on this site though. Many people have tried to simply remove mat'l from the runners on the lower plenum, but I've only seen dyno results from Motordyne.

That is a really nice clean Z.
Works wheels always look good, CAI, and it seems some detail parts for under the hood!

C class is always a nice ride. E55 though is probably my favorite designed sedan right now actually.

Ian this summer I am sure I will run into you somewhere.
Good luck selling though TP's though.
