Just wanted to pop by and introduce myself.

Name is Stoycho (call me Sid for short if you like), I am 21 and currently live in Frimley (near Farnborough for those who don't know).

In terms of ownership well I am awaiting some details and shall be picking up my first zed, which is a 2010 370z with GT Pack in "twilight silver" ? I couldn't find that colour in the official nissan colour book but it's some sort of grey. The car itself is on 25k ish miles and it is being sold at a good price. In terms of modifications, well I have never kept any of my cars standard (even though I haven't really had that many), but the problem is my previous cars were all old, so restoration was part of the "modifications". Now I can hopefully enjoy putting my money into the car as mods instead of fixing rust and what not

In terms of car history, I have only been driving since 19, my first car was 2001 VW Golf mk4 1.6i 16v, which was totally standard, apart from little bits like LED interior light upgrade, brighter whiter bulbs and just smoothing a few things. I wanted to keep it OEM and clean, so I can sell it for good money after I can insure my first fast car, which I did. The car after that was a 1999 Honda Integra Type R DC2 (UK Spec) in Milano Red (or shall I say basically faded pink lol). That car went through a full respray and rust removal, including brand new rear arches and bits around the boot/engine. In terms of performance it was kept totally standard and OEM spec, apart from the obvious better flowing K&N filter and things like NGK iridium plugs + NGK HT Leads etc... Here is a pic just before I sold her:

I since then thought, well I want a cheaper, RWD driven car for a bit of fun and the obvious choice was MX5. So I managed to find a reasonably clean 1992 MK1 Eunos Roadster (Import version of MX5).
That already came on coilovers, with a cat back (mx5parts one I think) and XXR 527s on slightly stretched Toyo T1Rs. Was a really nice car to be honest, I still have it and it will be up for sale as soon as I get the Zed home.

Not the best angle or picture but I don't have that many of them. So that's basically my car history, I am looking forward to the 370 and I know it will be very different from anything I have driven, as both the DC2 and MX5 are very raw and engaging to drive. Especially steering wise, you can feel everything through the wheel.

In terms of modifications I have some plans for the Zed but I will make that in a different thread, this is already probably too much for some people to read haha.

Are there any 370 owners on here around the Surrey area?

Thanks!
