Learned my lesson with heavily modified cars on that second MR-2. My Z is staying stock till it is paid off and then i only plan on doing basic bolt-ons. I would like to get a bare block and build an engine but i don't see that happening for a while.

^ Skeeter.... nice history of rides there, bo. I was planning on going SC or TT in the future. Can you please share your experiences with going with deep mods? Sounds like it was pretty negative? Can you elaborate? I am looking to go FI, but hoping to do a basic bolt on package, but trying to stay stock everywhere else, and still be somewhat reliable. Am I dreaming?

Haha..yeah..NJ is not the best of states in terms of auto burglary.

I have since moved to an apt complex and she (Z) sleeps in a private indoor parking deck nowadays..

elaborate as to why please?

the steering was numb, throttle response was non existence... clutch engagement was weird, the power delivery was way too linear. it did not feel like a sports car at all.

i bought the car brand new in 06, i kept it for 2 months before i sold it on my350z.com. i hope i didn't offend any 350z owners here, but i truly thought it was a boring car.

Used to roll in this before I got the Z

Going deep on mods isn't always a bad thing. The biggest thing is that you absolutely must stay on top of your maintenance. The biggest problem for me was that it was my DD as well. I know some people drive heavily modified cars as a DD, but if I had it to do over again I would have had a beater as well. I had the car getting worked on almost as much as I drove it. The last straw was when I had to replace the clutch twice. The first time was because the clutch couldn't handle the power. Then that clutch had a manufacturing defect and had to be replaced. I would like to add a SC/tt but it will wait until I get the car paid off and have a beater to drive.

Maintenance? I thought even/when you go FI, it's still the same basic maintenance, esp with turbos that are self-contained for example.... And basically, it's just check belts every so often, monitoring ratios, etc.... then staying on top of oil changes and other normal stuff.

What maintenance did you speak of?

Pretty much what you mentioned, just expect to do it more often. Maybe not so much the oil changes but you will be checking bolts, clamps and hoses much more often.

When I had my little eclipse running on 20psi as my daily driver I'd be under the hood every other day to check for loose clamps or bolts.. I had the hood open on that car open more than closed. lol

Gross.. 2+2? Haha ;)

Any mods?

s13 rb25det

right before I traded a 2010 MS3 on the Z... before that it was an 2008 Evo X with 383 awhp ... fun car, but I got sick of all the little issues the car had. Before that is was a 2006 Evo RS... very fun car... sold it with 2,500 miles on it.. should have kept it... it'll be a collectors car later. Before that a 93 Mustang LX 5.0.

got my z32 2+2 in around 2006 and then drove a ford focus before getting my 370

Hey why isn't your C6 in the stable picture? Did you get rid of it?

I've had two cars

'87 Crown Vic - my first car, it was a family hand me down. It got me through my highschool and college days. Had to sell it when I moved to the city. Paying $100 bucks month for parking didn't make sense when I took the subway to work. This is a car I miss.

'06 Civic LX sedan - the first car I bought when I started making decent money, it was too sensible. I traded it in earlier this year for the Z. I don't miss the civic at all.

89 celebrity , 2006 speed6 (fully bolted), 2004 srt4, 2011 370z

DSM? Disposable Speed Machine. Yep, had one of those too haha.

2008 Honda Accord EX-L 3.5L V6 6MT with HFP accessories (lowering kit, 19" wheels, body kit).

What did I drive before THIS Z?

Starting in 1977 a '70 Super Beetle,
'64 Chevyvan 10,
'70 MG Midget,
'68 Triumph TR4A,
'77 Camaro,
'79 Mustang,
'80 Monza,
'81 Toyota 4x2 PU,
'83 Toyota 4x4,
'85 Blazer 4x4,
'87 Isuzu Trooper 4x4,
'88 Chevy Silverado 4x4 Stepside PU,
'90 Porsche 944S2 Cab,
'92 Eagle Talon TSi,
'93 Nissan PU,
'95 Dodge Intrepid (POS I know),
'97 Dodge Ram 4x4,
'01 Honda Accord 6sp,
'03 2500 Ram 4x4,
'04 Honda Accord Coupe V6 6sp,
'07 350Z Grand Touring Roadster 6MT,
'11 370Z Touring Roadster 6MT.

Had the Accord coupe, 350Z, and '03 Ram at the same time. Sold the Z when I got divorced. Traded the Honda for the new 370 and still have the 2500 Ram 4x4 too.

New current wife has a '10 Honda CRV and a '02 Excursion. Do those count for my list too?



Oh, did you mean RIGHT BEFORE this Z? .....Sorry, I got carried away.

2001 VW Jetta.

Bit of a step up I guess. :p

Before driving the Z i had the following

1) Pontiac G8 (430 HP) V8 GM L76 motor with after market cold air intake, Flow Master Exhausts, Performance Chip with aggressive map.

2) [Honda 929 CBR RR] (996cc DOHC) (148HP) did the quarter mile in 10.1s @ 137mph. After market chip with aggressive air/fuel map with race exhaust. (0-70mph in 3.9 seconds)

Now I drive the Ultimate track car 370Z.......... Wish our Super chargers would come down in price, I can imagine what our track beasts would feel like off the launch with an extra 140HP..... and all that extra torque.

2001 Camaro SS, stock motor, modified chassis, lowered a bit with matched shocks, realignment, frame braces.

Mind blowing performance for the money, engine and handling, still miss the engine.

Good lord, I'm 41 and I've only owned 3 cars including my Z, not including family cars (had two of those). At this rate I'll own only 6 cars in my whole life! You've got 22 and still kicking.

Well I drove my Bugatti Veyron Grandsport for a while and just got tired of it. I stopped by Nissan and traded it in for the Z. I still owed a million on the Bugatti so I have negative 1 million going into my Z. I'm financing the Z for 1 million plus $40,000 for the Z.

I probably forgot a couple of cars. I have probably had as many motorcycles too. Dirt, Street and Dual sport.

RX7 was the car before the 370Z. It just wasn't refined enough, my son is here and I don't have time to tinker with a car right now.

I had a 2004 Acura rsx-s. loved that car.
