I chose these upgrades because my main objective was to increase the cars performance with the money that I had but to have the ability to return it to original condition.(I still have the original parts:rims, sway bars, exhaust, etc...) I didn't want to do any unecessary expensive things such as putting in a nice stero, thus taking money that I could spend on performance upgrades and also subwoofers don't make the car any lighter. So far I have spent about $6,000 in modifications and upgrades.
I purchased the vehicle in March of 2000 and it had only 41,000 miles. I have lately been driving it once every other weekend since I am up at college. It's never driven in the rain and is kept in the garage w/ a car cover on it when not in use. So for the Z has won me three trophies for the three shows I've been to.
The 300ZX hiebernates during winter here in Wisconsin since we have all kinds of salt on the roads because of the snow. It's in great condition: no rust at all, original paint, etc... and drives great. The performance upgrades greatly increased the car's capabilities and is much more responsive.

My 300ZX and an 83' 280ZX that I had for a little while. I bought the 280ZX with only 61,000 miles for a low $2,500!!! Was a pretty cool car. Was fun driving it cause there was hardly anyone that knew what kind of car it was.
Thanks for checkin' out my ex-ride. : )
