Tinted my tail lights, installed chromed amber turn signals, blacked out my headlights and installed 8000K HID bulbs. Got about 80% of my nitrous kit installed but thats on hold until another vendor gets 1 step colder plugs because GTM wants to charge me $1430 for the plugs, which is ok but then another $105 to ship them...f-that.

I bought 2x 10" subs with a 1200W amp but im waiting until warm weather comes so i can use my ZX6R while my friend has the car in the shop to install those with a custom sub box and at the same time he's installing a compustar alarm and remote starter.

Also ordered is a full nismo body kit...now im just shopping for a painter.

For many reasons, but the main reasons are.. I've always been to old cars, and nothing else drives quite like a 240z (mine was lightly modded)! There's driving characteristics that you can only get in a old car.... and same goes for newer cars. I just like older cars just a tad bit. If i can, i'd like to have both but i have no room at my place.

Yup.... if there is any parking left. Look forward to seeing your mod'ed beast.

If the weather holds, a meet at the end of March may be in order as noted in other threads.

I don't think the weather will hold ........ we are due for a blizzard or two before the end of May ...... I always aim for driving the car on the roads for the first week of June.
