Default I can't believe I'm parting her out...

Boy, what a fun ride it was over the past 2 years.

It took me almost an hour to type out the part out post above in the Norcal for sale forum. I'm really goint to hate to see her go ... its just not a smart idea for me to keep the Z after moving to SF.

I'm sure I'll still be poking my head in here on the forums, to see how you guys are doing... heck, I might even be driving an (older) Z!

Thanks for all the support over the years you guys... the most awesome group a car enthusiast could ask for!

Aww Dan I still remember you from the Bodega Bay meet we did. I was the Z that got lost on the way there and you told me to wait for you guys at Pt. Reyes which I did. Good luck with everything. Why are you getting rid of it if you don't mind me asking?

Well, I'm going to be moving to San Francisco, and I have a couple reasons for selling the Z:

* No more car payment... cost of my living is going to go up.
* Won't worry about the car getting messed up (bumper parking, broken windows, etc)
* Won't need a car other than to drive back to Sonoma County once in a while to visit friends/family.

Now I'm just looking for a "beater" car, cheap, that will still get me around and i won't worry so much about in the city. Still looking at a couple Z31's ... while they are older, they still have that unique style :-)

Any suggestions for small, parkable, daily drivers... lemme know

My 1984 Nissan Pulsar that I still use as a beater would be perfect for you.

ROFL. I drove an '86 Nissan Pulsar (NX), back in '88. You could beat that thing like a left-handed step-child.

That goes for me too. I'm pretty handy with a wrench.

Dan, what made you change from Borla to Nismo?

I might take you guys up on that, when I remove the suspension and sways ... extra hands are ALWAYS good when doing suspension

As for the exhaust, I wanted a little different sound. Its a bit louder than the Borla, and the performance was just about on Par, if not a little better. Loved them both, actually.

You going to take the rotors off too? Probably not worth much.

PS: I'm gonna send out a myspace w/ the parts you're selling cause two of my "real life" friends have Z's now but they don't post here.
