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.

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.

My head is spinning from reading that 18 page thread on what oil should be used...I'm more confused now than before.
