11 Year Tampa Z Owner Gets A New Toy

TheWeez · 10-06-2015, 09:27 AM

After spending years on the 350Z forum, I finally decided to upgrade to a 370.
A small reason I decided to join is to find the owner of the car I just purchased because it has a TK knob and I know it's pretty popular on here. Here are a couple pics of the 350 and 370.

Buying a car because an aftermarket shift knob installed in it. Right on.

Say, I have this '79 Chevy Chevette (no, not Corvette) with manual transmission and Tommy Kaira shift knob. You wouldn't be interested in it, would you? Only $50k. The shift knob is in brand new condition ...

Very Nice.

POS VETT,
I know my grammar might not be perfect, but please re-read my post.

OP, congrats!

I went from an 07 350Z to an 09 370Z and it's def. a huge upgrade IMO.

and what part of tampa are you from?

Congrats on the upgrade OP. Nice 350Z by the way, I love the burnt orange seats. Too bad the DB and SMB Z33s only came in black and frost interiors. Sexy Z34 you have there

nice! i'm over in westchase, and def. see alotta Z's driving around.

lol there are a few things that i do miss from the 350Z:

1. rear windshield wiper
2. how i could actually see out the rear quarter panel window
3. oil pressure meter
4. digital speedo
5. the exhaust note (seems like the 370Z stock exhaust is more raspy?)

TheWeez · 10-06-2015, 09:16 PM

I was livid when there was no digital speedometer

Took out the rear wiper
Definitely had more visibility from all angles

Thanks again Angelo!

Here's a couple shots of some stuff I completed today (just for experimentation)

vtec to vvel · 10-06-2015, 09:19 PM

does the red square on the bottom in between the exhaust work as a 3rd brake light? i've been wanting to do that mod

TheWeez · 10-06-2015, 09:20 PM

Not yet.

I don't know if I am going to black it out or not, it looks a little bold.

vtec to vvel · 10-06-2015, 09:29 PM

what the? it came red? mine and my buddy's came blacked out already....and most of the Z's is blacked out as well that ive seen....

TheWeez · 10-06-2015, 09:45 PM

That's really strange
