I've been thinking about bringing out the Z. Too bad it's all taken apart now. Can't drive it for at least another month.

I've wanted to take the Z out so bad but can't find it in me to do that to my rims with all the salt. my parents have been in the bahamas for a week with my grandparents so i have been driving the SL550.... it's doing the trick i think :-)

Yes, it looks like it. Zdayz is in North Carolina on the western edge of the Great Smokey Mtns.

I think I want to buy a Hyundai.


The Genesis coupe with the 2.0t motor looks promising.

The Genesis coupe has the 4b11t motor platform. Same engine as the Mitsubishi Evo X. Some differences are yet to be pointed out.

Buy an 09 WRX, crank up the boost, and smoke that thing then. The Genesis is heavy and slow. And it is a Hyundai...

Hey Guys. Hope you guys are doing well. Not necessarily new to the site (have owned my Z for almost a year and have looked at countless threads for ideas) but thought I would introduce myself as I would like to get more involved with the local meets and outings you guys have.

Note to Spork - I just received my Wilwood's from Dave @ Arizona Z car. I am excited to put them on the Z and see how it looks. The heater went out in the garage so it might be a month or so before I put them on. Pics to come when I get them on if you want to see how they look.

The Genesis weighs less than the G35. And we're dealing with the theta platform Evo X motor. Mmmm.

I just crave a turbo car.

Hey good to have you here!

Looks like we picked up quite a few new members over the winter. Should be nice to meet up with everyone this spring.

Great! Post pics. I understand the heat issue ha. The Wilwoods would be my first choice due to price.

For $30, it's not that bad. Didn't it used to cost a lot more? or am I thinking about the oil cover?





Dave, have you decided on an exhaust yet? What do you think of the TurboXS or Motordyne ones?
