New Z owner - '13 sport 6spd

thestigg · 03-10-2018, 12:15 PM

What's up everyone! Bought myself a 2013 Magma Red 370z Sport w/ 58k on it a few weeks ago. Absolutely love the car and the color. This is my first RWD car which I'm excited about. I've owned a couple of Subaru's and many Honda's/Acura's. I daily drive an '02 Accord V6 coupe, so I won't be putting many miles on the Z. I plan to auto-cross the Z and hopefully do some track events.
So far I've changed the oil with Ester oil. Changed out the trans and rear diff fluid with Redline synthetic and changed the serpentine belt. I want to upgrade the slave cylinder with an aftermarket one, and maybe upgrade the clutch and flywheel.
Only mod so far is the red GTR push button start.
I've already been looking at exhaust's. I think I've decided on AAM resonated short tails. I'll need to do some research on a solid suspension setup that I can auto-x with and be comfortable on the streets. I'll do these mods after the slave cylinder upgrade. Tint is going on next weekend.

Here are some pics:
