A few older pics... (Btw, that's my dad's redline 07 in the pic )






Before the Swifts, right after my first full detail w/ Zaino...






Background
A little back story on how I ended up w/ my Z. I originally had a 2006 Daytona Blue 350Z Enthusiast 6mt. She was a beaut...






It had a handful of bolt-on mods...

Motordyne MREV2
Motordyne 3/16" Plenum Spacer
Motordyne Shockwave TDX2
Motordyne Adjustable Sway bars
JWT Pop Charger
Koni Yellow Adjustable Sport Struts
RS*R Ti2000 Springs


All good things come to an end I guess. I made the mistake of driving it to work one day in February 2010, with a winter storm in the forecast to hit during the drive home. I was hit by an eighteen wheeler on I-44 in STL after spinning a full 360 and facing it head on (hydro-planed while merging onto the highway during rush hour traffic)

And she was gone...




I miraculously walked away with only a few bumps and bruises. Needless to say, I was pretty scared and timid to jump back into a Z. So I went out and bought a 2011 Evo X. It was a fun car, but it wasn't for me.




Fast forward 7 months (to this past November '11) and I've got the urge to get back on the horse. I find myself a beautiful Magnetic Black 2010 370Z 6mt w/ Sport package and only 2k miles. I couldn't resist...

So I drove 6 hours down to Memphis the day before Thanksgiving to pick her up...






And finally home!




There's a lot more in store for this Z! Stay tuned - and thanks for checking out my journal

Nice work! How was that EVO compared to the Z since you have fully owned both?
BTW those Missouri tags look ugly as hell lol.

Thanks, those are actually the temp tags from TN. They were fugly! The Evo was a blast to drive, but so is the Z. I have a comparison posted around here somewhere. I'll dig it up.

Thanks for the kind words guys!

GreatOne - I was afraid the 25's might be too much for the rear, but after the Swifts were installed and I got an alignment, they sit perfect. Couldn't be happier

Ya, I was on the fence too as a lot of people did 15/20

But I closed my eyes and pressed "order" and like you, couldn't be happier...I would have wanted more if I did 20 in back

Got my Evo-R lip in. The quality is superb, however there is a chip in one of the corners from shipping. Oh well, I dropped it off today on my lunch break to get repaired and painted magnetic black.

pics (sorry, from my phone)...
