- Excessive ECU noise (high frequency sound coming from glove box area).
- Inquire about the steering lock issue and whether it has been fixed.
- Panel rattling when the stereo is on.
- Tire wear and no slipping when the clutch engages (obviously).

It really isn't easy to find mechanical things to look for on this car, as the previous poster said they are solid cars.

this... and as stated above you will definately need an oil cooler. As well as Stillens new Brake cooler. Both are equally essential for this car. Brake failure was recorded on 09 models due to overheating. All models that have followed have the same issue. That cooler along with upgraded pads and rotors will be the best first mods along with the oil cooler to ensure the Z can hang on the track past 2 or 3 laps.
