New Z owner in Orlando FL
 
FINALLY got my Z and FInally got approved on forum lol

2016 Touring, Midnight Edition, Gunmetal Grey 7AT driven like a manual lol

Ok ok... elephant in the room address - I LOVE manuals. However, 3 things changed my situation on this purchase
1) girly can't drive manual and sure as heck not teaching her on my Z - not that she wants to drive as the car "scares" her she says, but just in case....
2) Orlando FL - which means manual is constant micro management.
3) car was a Tennessee HQ exec driven car (confirmed with data on the navi with his name, wife's name, kid's name, home location and various google searches ) and got a nice deal on it

This is a DD with spirited driving (especially when girly is not in the car lol) and I-4 is a real PITA

My goal is a subdued powerhouse that looks stock - I love a sleeper concept, though hard to pull off with a Z, I have NO desire to let you know what I have until it is too late.

As of now, I already did K&N drop-ins, and Mishimoto silicone post MAF, strictly running 93 Shell V-power - added ceramic Llumar tint max legal for state around

Incoming in order of plans:
1. FI HFC and TDX carbon fiber cat back (mid to late march is expected)
1. ECUTek tune (immediately after exhaust install)
1. bought the car with 14k on it and time to drain, flush and swap everything Motul style (8100 X-cess, Multi ATF, 75w90, but brakes will wait til I upgrade those)
2. Front sway (hotchkis)
3. tire replacement and upgrading width maintaining 18" stock rims and offset 245 and 275
3. Swift springs for 1" lower
3. Koni Sport (yellow)
3. Alignment with camber check for 0 to -1 check
4. Quiafe LSD replacement of open stock
4. Z1 LSD cover
4. Whiteline rear diff bushings
5. 25-row thermostatic oil cooler and oil spacer
6. 25-row thermostatic trans cooler
7. Akebono brake upgrade with SS lines, plain rotor, and Motul 5.1
8. GTM Rotrex C38 SC

Upgrade timeline:18-24 to complete


LOVING the wealth of info on this forum - been searching and reading up since I bought the car on 12/31/17
