I bought a Z? Is this a dream?

If u think u are dreaming just take it to the dealership for it's first oil change. After the following depression that ensses from a 100+ dollar oil change you start doing it yourself with a high grade synthetic and enjoy the car more. They are awesome cars and you won't regret it. I love just having the premium interior materials (even base) and it really feels like a nice car.

Also for the sub box check out Zenclosures they are a sponsor here (scroll down on the forum home page) and they make a great box that molds in between the strutbar and shock towers so it looks like it belongs there.

Thanks for the heads up on this, I was just about to leave my house to have the guy that installed mine do the measurements for the custom fitting. He had quoted me $250 for the work. The coupon still works so I just bought the 10" box from Zenclosures shipped for $149. If you're local I owe you a beer.

Schrute, love the name, I don't think I'll be buying the breaks right now, I have to take a break from spending all this money. I probably should have done performance parts before audio but that kinda just snowballed on me.

I'll post pics of the whole setup once I get the box.

This might be a dumb question but does anyone know how to remove a sub from an enclosure to install it in another one? I'm wondering more about the physical removal and installation, not necessarily wiring.

Congrats and be safer!

Usually there's just a few screws that you have to remove then it comes right out. Sometimes there's a trim ring hiding the screw heads, just carefully pry it off.

KingZee, if you're looking for an oil change or performance upgrades you should check out Amplified Motorsport.

They're a sponsor of the forums here and their shop is in Monterey Park. I can assure you that they do great work and are good people. Give them a holler if you need anything.

Good to see someone also from the Valley. I'm up here in Northridge.

Thanks, I'll try it out.

dszombiex, thanks for the heads up, I'll check them out. I graduated from CSUN so I know Northridge pretty well, had some good times there. Maybe I'll run into you at a meet.

Yeah, I noticed that. Glad I found you guys.

Welcome aboard

BTW My last name starts with a Z also

So the Z is kind of cool to have

PS I love my Z. Great cars!!!!

Z_you_Later · 02-13-2010, 06:37 PM

I think I remember that accident and might have even been in stuck in the traffic ...

Yeah for sure .. I'm always driving up and down Colorado in Eagle Rock or around Glendale.. Jus look for the black Z with color matched door handles ... I haven't signed up for Premium membership yet but, will be doing so soon so I'll also be putting up this forums sticker on my ride to represent !!!

As for the tint I don't get any beef from the PD here in Glendale/Eagle Rock/ Burbank Area but, watch out for PD in Pasadena they caught me slippin one night as I was driving my girl home.

If you need a good spot for tint let me know. I bring all my friends to this spot near Rosemead and the guy there gives great service, real down to earth and with good deals. Enjoy the new whip KingZee and see you around.

I live in Glendale so I'll look for you.

I'm also thinking of getting the car tinted. Does Glendale/Burbank pd give you any **** for front tints?

Thanks for the welcome everyone. And thanks for the heads up Dreamer. I was planning on waiting a bit cause this sound system kinda snow balled on me but I'll see if I can work something out with bullitt.

Yeah, people were calling me while I was waiting for the tow truck to come like "Hey, was that you I just saw on the side of the freeway?!"

I definitely need a good place for tints, I don't want the sub in the back to be a reason they break into my car...Watcha got?
