Forgot to mention, I got a group buy quote for the Vortec Supercharger COMPLETE kit, shipped to my door 4899 for the full kit.

Not bad. Richard, what else do you recommend doing.

Hey Richard,

I like your Zs new look!

Did you read Sharif's second article in our Winter Issue? It's real good, IMO.

Well, first off, I think the Vortech Supercharger route will prolly be the cheapest, second, I really don't wanna go ALL out because I'm so afraid of breaking the car or something major mechanically to go wrong with. Also I figure it will be easiest to do seeing that I am NOT going to be paying anyone to install this. The only thing I will pay to have done is a GOOD tune. But seriously I need to talk to someone about this that has experience, so I just need like an honest list of what else should I do besides the full kit in order to have a nice stable everyday driving FI 350z. Let me know

Nice, How much did you get em for? And where?

I'm beginning to think maybe FI is out of my budget. I swore to my self I wasnt going to mod this cars engine at all, I told myself before I bought the car that is was fast enough, if anything I was gunna go with some appearance mods, (body kit, rims, etc) but man I swear I mod everything I have!!! I need therapy...

I think thats where this website comes in, were all a bunch of ADDICTS!!!

hey final? isnt your Z a grand touring/ do you still have the oem wheels? VtotheZ I got the sways for like 300 shipped. I would say that F/I is great and all but make sure you have the extra funds. I'm sure it's nice to have a crazy fast Z, but when would you REALLY need that extra power? The Z's acceleration/speed is enough to have good fun. no offense to F/I guys If you need acceleration you always have the bike...

Hot in the summer, cold in the winter (especially at night)... and relatively desolate (if you are accustom to living in city/suburbs)....

I love it up here. I came from down the hill, its good to finally not see traffic and experience road raged people. Pretty laid back, and its nice to look forward to weekends going to LA or OC after a weeks worth of hard work. I'm in Oak Hills, at the borderline of Hesperia and Oak Hills, which is two cities south of Victorville. They are brand new tract homes that have the much needed necessities nearby. All businesses are new, two gas stations (Valero & Shell), restaurants like: Popeye's, Alberto's, Arby's, Burger King, Taco Bell, McDonald's, Miyako Sushi, Ban Thai, Denny's, iHop, Starbucks, Inn and out burger, etc. make it convenient. Also two new hotels like the holiday in and something? Suites. Great city.

Obviously you have not lived up here too long. But then again, a change is always going to be different for some people, and different in my opinion is good
