Make sure you to hit up the member's journal section and start a thread for your car, will be nice to see some of your progress and maybe post of your current & past cars.

If you want to see what a Z to the bones looks like, look of Forged Performance Z or Travisjb.
Both have stipped a Z, travisjb is currently working on his cage.

He only drives it when it's sunny... he's a bit of a queen like that

He just keeps it in a garage and wipes it daily with a diaper.

Very cool! I live in Carbon Canyon. If you guys ever do a bike meet sort of thing I'd like to meet up. I'm a bit older them most I suppose but love cars just the same. Miss the old bike nights...just trying to stick with 4 wheels now.

motoextreme · 11-01-2009, 07:10 PM

I know the feeling with the diaper, that's why I want a car I dont have to stress over. Funny story is my wife couldnt understand why I went for a Z, had it for 3 days now she keeps borrowing it...its a blast! My first job was at Nissan in CO, the day the new 300Z hit was a dream for me, I hoped one day I could afford one as I was a lot porter/assist mechanic....perhap's that why this car meant so much for me to buy.

motoextreme · 11-01-2009, 07:23 PM

Still pretty low. I bought my 360 Spider with only 1200 miles. It was an 02 but perfectly loaded. Did a ton of research on lambo's first but all of the ads said NEW CLUTCH but only 3-4K miles. I know its only 8 grand for a clutch but I didnt want the hassle. Funny thing is I spent 3 times that on my 360 with BS repairs and I only put 3k miles on it. Bought a bright orange gallardo used, had it for a day and forced the dealer to take it back, E gear slipped the very next day, awesome car but I like to drive to much to watch it age in my garage and not use it all the time.

I love it. Its my baby I wouldnt trade it for the world.

I was poking around the board, looks like a great bunch of guys.. Rather then share a ton of pics of my old rides which look like any other Exotic on the Net let me show you the one I finished last year.

This is my 67, took me a year and a half to build but most of it was done in my garage. I have a very simple rule I live by, don't build what you can't stop so not only did she have 750+HP but I had an air-assist brake set up that had unbelievable stopping power. I took the car to Hot August nights to show it and some guy offered me a fortune so she's gone now. Just wanted to show how extreme I typically get on my cars, originally I was going to make it into a driver but as you can see I just couldnt stop...HAHAHAHAA..and yes, it was really hard to see but funny!

Let me know what you think. Nismo project is starting soon!!

I like the way doubledown laid it all out, his is a track car and I still want to drive mine so unlikely I'll go that route. Thinking about some some paint changes, then brakes, then turbo kit, oil cooler right away and definitely some stereo work mixed in, perhaps that Kenwood install that I read about. I'll hit up the board sponsors for my parts...keep the $ in the board.

I'll send pics of the Z once the madness starts.

Togo · 11-01-2009, 07:26 PM

only 8K for a clutch.....

motoextreme · 11-01-2009, 07:38 PM

I dont mean only as in 8K isnt a lot, just that when you spend 160-200 on a car 8k is part of the deal. I can't say for sure on the Lambos but on the ferrari's they drop the whole motor out of the bottom to do the clutch. Watched Newport Ferrari do it when my car was in for overheating (the 2nd time). They said it was 6500 to 8 depending how bad it was, 7k was the average.
