Default thinking about bringing the Z back to stock

and using it as a daily driver, selling my CRZ and using the money from the CRZ sale and parting out of the 370 to build a Spec Z for the NASA series.

I think it could be just as fun as the 370, since I really enjoyed my 350 back in the day.

I figure I could sell my Forgestars, Stoptech Trophy system and coilovers for about 8000, although not overnight, especially the brakes.

I would also need to sell my texas rollback trailer and go enclosed, since the 350 wouldnt have windows.

What coilovers do you have on there? I've forgotten, but I might in the market for some in the next couple of months.

Tein Mono-flex

Patrick,
I'm not 100% sure, but I am leaning toward it. Been thinking about it since the series was announced.

I think I need to put the honda up for sale, and then go from there.

I just realized, I could keep it. I forgot that I will have an empty garage space once I sell the honda, but if I do sell it, I will talk to you first.

What do you need a trailer for anyway?

How is the resale on the Honda?

I would do it. I want to build a race car too, but not ready to give up the 370 yet

private party is showing about 19500 on it right now with KBB, 18900 with edmunds. I paid 22 out the door for it last february, and I owe a little less than 12 on it. So if I can get 19, I can net 7, which would be about what I can get an 03 Z for. Plus no more payment as the 370 is also paid off.
