This is my U.S. Spec 97 Downing Atlanta Supercharged 1.9 Z3 with it's new sister, my 1999 K1200RS.

Click on the pic, you won't be dissapointed

Don't ask me how I got a more expensive Remus exhuast on the bike before I got it for the Z!!  Let's just say I passed it off as a safety device.

Suspension is taken care of by the Racing Dynamics Strut brace and fully adjustable front and rear sway bars. Rear camber kit and rear Urethane racing shock towers. Bilstein sport shocks, Eibach lowering springs, and sticky Dunlop Direzza's (17's). Front Camber kit is sitting pretty in a box until I make some time.

 

 

JVC 3.5 inch LCD Screen DVD Player with Giga MP3.(Plays as many MP3's as you can fit on a DVD) 4.7 Gigs, CD Changer no longer required. I also did not want to cover the A/C vents. With the heat here, that is not an option when the top is up and looks better in my opinion. Also my new phone(HTC Hermes) to the right of the shifter on a Kuda Cell Phone mount.

New "Roadster Sound" Sub Box and 8 inch JL Audio Subwoofer and Grill.

My Lanzar 6 Channel 1600 Watt Amp(over kill for these speakers), Phoenix Gold bass cube and MB Quart Crossovers pushing my JL Audio sub and Component MB Quart Tweeters and Mid ranges up front. There will be some plexi going back there to clean up the install some more. I just havent decided which way I want it. I also want to maximize trunk space, I actually use it and I don't want to weigh the car down doing it!

Interior shots showing the blue L.E.D Lit interior, view of the lit Gills and Scanner Style Pedal lights. My Z didn't come with footwell lights so I made my own.
