I tried to buy that same Ti-c from Z1 recently, had to go with the newer design. I Had the turbo ti-c but I got rear ended and destroyed the exhaust.

Yeah that's mine. Found out the manifolds are cracked and have to pull the motor to replace them...takes 8 weeks for Greddy to get them here from Japan. At least ins. paid for it all!
Nice car, very good numbers for stock internals.
I'm running 427 rwhp on 9 PSI w/ built long block. Just upgraded the underdrive pulleys and new uprev GT MAF...so hopefully get about 30+ HP out of it.

Found this thread a little late, good to know, I just stumbled across Motiva on the Internet, looks like a decent enough shop for Uprev tuning, I thought I read a mention of another UpRev tuner in the ABQ area, whom would that be?

BLVD also can I think...unless something has changed. Scotty at Motiva tuned my e-manage and did an awesome job so I had him do the uprev to too.

Any places here in ABQ where they rent bays with lifts to do your own oil changes and stuff??? I used to go to Ufixit in AZ and that was pretty good to do my own work.
On a side note, this past weekend, I had the best burger I have ever had @ Bobcat Bite (up in Santa Fe). Bacon Chile Cheeseburger. I have had burgers in 24 states and 4 foreign countries...This is by far the best.

im still around popping in every once in a while.. sad day last weekend i took my car to store it at my parents house to free up a little space in my garage my never ending projects.. looks like ill drive it even less now.. some of you new guys post up pics of your rides!
Forgot to add myself to the list. All moved over from Denver and enjoying it here again, foods awesome; man how I missed it! I moved away 12 years ago to go have some fun out of state, and the return to family beckoned me. Another TT for the list, put down 505/490 @ Motiva, running 10psi on a GTM stage 2, had them clean up the tune from Denver.
Ended up taking the car back to the shop last week for a engine rebuild so I'm Z-less for the next couple months. I'll check back in periodically to see if there's any local Z meets once it is back up and running, be great to hang again with some fellow Z-ers and maybe making some friends out here. Coming from the endless Denver rocky mountain cruising roads options, I'm definitely excited to see what is available on the east side of ABQ+ hopefully there is some good twisties around there.
Discovered Montgomery from just some destination-less driving around ABQ, although that looks like a major cop and street racing jungle that I will try to avoid in the future- it was fun to just actually cruise it and check out some of the rides - seems like quite a few cars go there, don't recall a cruise scene that big in Denver. Not much into that scene or style but ended up destroying a vette and viper that were picking on me on the highway on my way back home to Los Lunas, haven't had any little fun run in ages so that was a nice exception since the highway was nice and open and traffic-less
There's a nice red GTR i've seen cruising around Belen and Los Lunas a couple times, wouldn't mind check out his ride one of these days if luck ever allows in both our cars. Look forward to meeting you guys in the future.
