This is my first Z.. I was able to get it for $530.00 with a pretty clean body, and 162,000 miles on it. just had to drive to New Mexico to pick it up.. either way it made for a fun trip.

After a 12 hour drive home I started off by pulling the huge chrome bumper.

Pulling the suspension to put some Eibach springs in.

So far I have pulled out the A/C, carpet, big bumpers, all the extra crap to try and lighten the thing up. sprayed the interior with under body spray (rubber) to help reduce noise and temp of the cab.

As for the mods.. Nothing really big yet.. just changed out the efi system to a 4 barrel holley carb, arizona z car manifold, motorsport short throw shifter, Eibach pro-kit springs, greddy evo 2 muffler, new cap, rotor, plugs, the usual for a tune up.

I have owned the car since April 28, 2006.
