Looks like it ought to be quiet if that's a wall of sound shield behind the engine.
Checking in
So been WAY busy at work..... so not much has happened on the Z, well the kid's driving it more than me!
Which means I think I'm going to let go of the White N/A ( since that just sits ).....
But something out there was... calling...
Not a old Z nor a new one....

Yup I am....
My coworker was looking for a newer car, My GF has a G35 sedan which has been perfect for the last 50K.. So I touted my co worker into an 04 coupe stick....
he LOVED it.. so I took a ride.. all the cush of a mercedes, all the grunt & handling of a Z and lots of electronic do da's...
So not to be outdone He spent 13.5... I think I'll be into this for 8-9 when all is said & done.....

the G is a nice nice ride. Last time I went to Zdayz, there were several there I was drolling over. The one guy was putting down like 600HP, and trying to run with him on those curvy roads made me look like a beginner. Nice choice.

Trying to make 600 without new rods is a bit trickey..... right now 100% stock... THEN maybe a supercharger!

looks like a nice ride, but she will cut deep into your wallet man =/
Cut.... that " suggests " something smallish that can be fixed with a band aid...this is more like Texas Chain saw massacre...

BUT the good news is she will be all done than for less than the Z was ( oh yeah that was way over the top too! ) ..
Oh and the Eldest son has stolen that....
So now I have the Infiniti ( to look foward too.. ) and the Insight as my daily driver...
Sigh~

may I ask what the grand total was? =P
Er um WELL ( cough ) right now as you see it... WHEEZE... 16.5K
( plus another 2.5k in the garage of air bags, stereo, hoses, pass side interior door panel )
It wasn't CHEAP and I blew through the guesstimate by about 2X.. and I did make some bad buys ( paid retail on some suspension parts YIKES!)
And I still can't drive it ( legally ) on the road.. I need Lights, brake, smog & vin inspection

Well I'm legal for 30 days~
FRICKIN DMV & CHP!
So I get all my inspections done, get plates & stickers... then the phone call from DMV.
If you get an outta state salvage you must submit to the UBER inspection from a REAL CHP officer...
Not the Auxillary DMV inspector ( or CHP LITE dude ). He's only good for IN state transfers / inspections.
I have to produce receipts for EVERY part I have on the car ( not a problem ).. I guess they want to make sure I'm not a chop shop... fair enough.
ALL safety equipment must be 100% ( still working on the SRS Air bag / seat belt systems ).
AND If you get USED air bags you must produce the VIN number from the car it came off of ( ... Hmmmmmm I have E mails out to the people I bought it from... )
I have to remove the tint from the Side windows ( BOOO-HISSSS ).
And I have till Nov to get this all done.....the inspection takes like 4+ hrs.... What a pain in the tail pipe!
Oh yeah not to mention I have a cracked vapor return line in the fuel tank area so I smell gas from time to time.. $ 700.00 to drop the tank and replace 45 bucks of hoses~!
