Dan Z Man

Hey everybody. I've been coming to this forum for quite a while now, and i must say..its awesome!

and now for a lil about me:
my name is Dan, I'm 19 years old. I work with my father in general contracting. and i thank him so much for letting me in on the business, because if it wasn't for him, i wouldn't be were i am now... i currently live in New York, but soon to be living to North Carolina because we're moving. But its whatever. now on to my car(s)

when i was 13 i had bought a 1989 Toyota supra non turbo 5spd. I'm not going to lie, it was a piece of crap. i got it for $250. BUT it ran. i had bought the car to learn how to drive stick (with help from my father)..and as much as a p.o.s. the car was, i loved it. the water pump broke and sold it for 100 bucks lol.

then at the age of 16 i had saved up enough mulah to buy myself a 1995 eagle talon tsi awd 5spd. by now i had been working with my dad, a lil after school days and on the weekends. About after a year and a half i saved up a bunch of money to start modding the beast. after all was said and done, and all the heart-aches later, i got 335awhp and 325lbs of torque...pretty good numbers for a 16g i suppose. running 18lbs of boost...i had fallen in love with this car(no homo, hahah) but, the time was coming for me to stop spending so much money on a older car. soon i would have had to start worrying about the stock tranny and axles going..so i ended up selling it(still kinda regret it, but whatever)..

then about a year and 7 months ago, i got a "new" car. a 2004 Honda s2000. got it with 17k miles on it. white with tan interior..I'm not gonna lie, its slow as balls, but i friggin love it, I'm at the point were i don't care about the power for this car because its not what it was meant for. as of now, its stock. well, i mean i have clear side marker lights instead of amber ones, but thats it lol.

so, ur prob wondering why I'm here, "this kid's owned an eagle and a Honda..oh and shitty supra"...well, ladies and gentlemen I'll have you all know, that since i was like 5 years old, i have been a fan of the Z's my whole life. i just couldn't really afford one (even though i look back and realize I'm an idiot because i could have after all the dumb money spent) but yea, so don't think I'm some fast and furious newb or something. i like to consider myself a higher class than that :-D

but yea, once i have sold my s2k its time to start saving for a 370z!! so i hope u all accept me in this community, and i hope to be of any help i can be.


Thanks, Dan
