Right? I never thought much in to it until 95% of Z's i was seeing had black. 4% had the orange, and i got screwed with this color But It's always had this tannish color, since i bought it. idk if the person that was treating it used the wrong stuff and it stained it or they just left it dirty all the time now its stuck that way lol. the headliner is at least grey. i want all of it black though damnit!

I would bet that's it. They probably used some crap leather cleaner that stained it. They are not even really close to light grey anymore. Still a clean interior but I see what you mean. I'm sure most people don't even notice after seeing the outside of your car.

Only thing is of course he requires a deposit like any shop...The thing is, most people dont want to keep this after there done so once i give him the deposit, what says he ever answers my calls when i want to return it and get my deposit back.....thats my only concern.....
If he doesn't return the deposit, keep the tool. They you can rent it out yourself and make your money back. I would do that in a heartbeat.

Sorry. Its the only screen name I have ever used so it will have to do. Lol. Did any of those local meetings ever go down? Im off work Thur-Sat every week and usually bored. Right now my Z is having "My previous owner was an idiot or hated me" syndrome as its gear box binds up when its cold. Waiting get to get the money to have it rebuilt by some super fancy specialist that charges $10,000 or so to see if hopefully that works it out. I did once find brand new transmissions that they took out of cars to build race cars for around $1200-$1500ish on one of those Z websites, might try that out.


Edit: On a side note I happen to have a brand new in box (though the box probably doesnt look so new anymore) set of NF springs from Tanabe(sp?) that I never got around to installing if someone is feeling altitude sickness and wants them let me know.

No worries bro. I have bigger problems right now. I have that itch on the bottom of my foot that I can't get to go away. I fucking HATE it when this happens.

$10k for a rebuild? How about picking up one of these 60g Quaife 6spd Straight-cut sequential trannies for $7k? Pretty sure that will save you some money AND **** all over most rebuilds any of us could get lol...

https://my350z.com/forum/drivetrain/...ssion-two.html

As for the Tanabe springs i have some sitting on some Tokiko Blues that i still need to get rid of haha... blahhh im so lazy when it comes to selling parts i seriously have over 4k worth of stuff i need to try to sell...

I was just saying 10K as an exageration as that seems like the kind of number they would throw out at a dealership for a rebuild. I did check with CZP, they have brand new gear boxes for 1600 just gotta get a clutch and what not. So looking at around 2k for a brand new set up with a HD clutch kit and flywheel. Not too bad. Could build it on a stand and then just slide it in place in a day pretty easy. I probably wont ever sell my springs until I get the Megan Racing Coil Overs I am looking at as well as the camber kits to bring everything in line. I want that stuff plus some good sway bars and an adjustable strut tower bar, mostly for giggles, but I just like having full customization available for every aspect of the suspension. One day when my car is paid for and I wont feel bad about it getting scratched up I might start building a motor for it and then maybe Ill pick up one of those 7K trannies. lol. I have been seriously contemplating getting an older 240 to make into a drift car. There is a convertible one here in town that collects dust in a lot. The guy keeps telling me its not for sale but if I stop being lazy and make a real offer on it I am sure I could get it away from him no problem.

Edit: Also any of you silly people have a set of 17s sitting around? I have my Z on the 19s it came on and I have always wanted a second set of wheels, even if they are stock wheels.
