New 370z owner from Reno

GusGus91 · 03-07-2013, 03:23 AM

How's it going guys, just thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Austin and I just traded in my 2008 STI for a 2009 370z and I absolutely love it. I was uncertain about going from Subaru to a Nissan considering I've been in the Subaru game for the last 4 years, but I'm glad I did! The 370z is my DD and ill be slowly adding some tasteful and simple mods, as I have a fully built wrx for track use (caged, fully built long block, GTX3582R, E85, supporting mods). I look forward to being a part of the community here and sharing my journey with this car with the rest of you! As I was leaving the dealership I ordered the invidia Gemini catback and catless invidia test pipes, and can not wait to install it all to hear that sexy sound from this car. Here's a couple pics for you guys.

CG's. I recommend getting some winter tires if you don't have a beater or better equipped vehicle for the winters. I Ice skated up the hill to Stead in my 325 with summer tires a few years ago after Thanksgiving.

Thanks guys!

@firehawk, ya I was planning in getting some blizzaks once winter rolled around to throw on the stock wheels, or getting a set of cheap 18's since I already have some 18" blizzaks from my STI. The wrx ironically won't see snow, so ill have to be doing all my snow runs in the Z.
