I thought 19k was alot for a car with a Non running title....needs clutch & more to get it drivable.

Still sexy.

I love to drive the Z in this type of weather....it loves the cool temps.

What's everyone doing for New Years ? I'm always a stay at home person....although I'm walking to the neighbors house this year.

Whatever it is...please be safe.

Good for you....you deserve to get that amount of time off.

Sounds like you put in some hefty OT.....I wish I got paid for mine.

I wish it would either snow or clear up !

Well it just dawned on me that I have the push start ignition on my center console near my shift stick and the CF package won't have the cut out for it.... is CF difficult to cut ? And how do I get it lined up so it doesn't look gehto ? Anyone ????

1.) Take all the measurements you need to get in in the right place.

2.) Put a hole cutting bit on a drill and have at it.

I have a Dremel that would probably work well to cut the hole out for the CF.

I would definitely start small, check fitment, drill/Dremel again, check fitment, repeat ! Take your time. Also I have some resin that you can put over the cut area so it will be smooth & shiney again.

If you need it just let me know.

No Dremel here...... but I think your on to something. You good at the Dremel thing ? I could pay you a few bucks to hook me up on this ? I just dont want to screw this up. Cost my son a chunk of change and Id hate to mess it up and have to buy the whole set again just for one mistake.

So I went to the stars game with a friend on Sunday and I never actually saw any of the game. We managed to find the Jack daniels bar at American airlines center and pretty much never left after that lol

Anyways I'm from South Arlington, anybody from around here? I see quite a few Z's at TCC SE campus.
I live in arlington, saw a few Z's since i've been here..

Been looking around the forum for some meets or cruises...

if anyone wants to make one, i'll be down to spread the word.
i go to school with my friend and he drives a Z also..
