Eric good seeing you the other day. Thanks for letting me use your clutch so we can draw up a clutch for the 350z community.
Love having my car but not the 15MPG haha.

nice! I wanted to keep the g but i just couldnt bear the headaches anymore. Theres no one here with local knowledge. I needed Jake and stuff... but had to cut it loose. Subaru was on the top of my list, but i wanted something 09+ and hatchback, and those were not dropping under 30k (low miles, sti) so had to go with something a lot more reasonable with the wife's future car in mind. replacing 2 of the motor mounts help really eliminate some tq steer and wheel hop... so that helps
Jeremiah, let me know when yall are done, very interested

Travis - I think my cats are making noises - rattling - or its my throwout bearing - but it seems to wait till its warm so i'm thinking cat.. or one of the 2 billion heat sheilds, so test pipes and an Osiris tune might be my next purchaseseses - i reaaaally like how my exhaust sounds lol so i'm going to be sad to add test pipes and lose that or change it much - hopefully it won't -
Thanks Total D - good to know - i'll be on the lookout - i don't mind trying new stuffs -
ezpotato - we've had our kid mobile for nearly 7 years but back in the day we were test driving new STI's haha - i was looking at them pretty seriously (as well as an 04) before i bought my Z too -
My wife seemed to really like Stu's FX sittin' on GTR wheels a lot though - so who knows our next "family" ride might be a porsche killer like Stu's - because we really don't have a family car - just a his n' hers at the moment - but as the kiddo's get bigger we might outgrow the lil scooby doo as a daily -

yeah my passenger one is rattling bad, it has lifetime warranty on it but it is a pain since they wont send me the replacement til they get the old one

JK - i just wanted to see an article on the "correct" way - i was searching but didn't find anything - thought I'd reach out a minute - I took it off to clean the deck lid up and replace some cosmetic stuffs - thought I'd snap a pic because I'm putting it back on tonight -

actually after the STi plans fell through, cause of their insane retention of value at $30k, i started looking at WRX HB's, cause they are pretty close to STi world now.. but when i found this Mazdaspeed at the price i got it at, it was about 6k less... and came with more items standard (Bluetooth was a big deal to me).

Alright beeches i figured I'd go ahead and tell you now since everything has been approved and I'm just finishing the paperwork; the z is gone. I traded it today for a Genesis coupe 2.0t track model! I'm ready to receive my bashing now lol
