Female Z Owner from Delaware

Skadi_Z · 03-23-2021, 01:28 AM

Wanted to break my lurking and finally say hello!

My name is Cait. I'm 35 years young, married, no kids, 1 pupper. Hubby and I have been together a whopping 20 years, started dating in highschool. I've been into cars since I got my learner's permit. My first pull into an enthusiast scene was when I owned my 2000 VW Golf 1.8T. The euro thing was fun, but I've always loved Z's. After my Golf met it's demise it would be 5 years before life would allow me to finally live out my dream. Financial situation got much better.

That led to me purchasing a 2012 in pearl white. Already had a Stillen body kit, Stillen exhaust and Stillen CAI, custom 20" Savini wheels, Eibach pro springs and a pretty nice custom audio setup. Yes, it's manual. Found out the car was bought new and built by a no longer existing custom shop in New Jersey, 66mvp. I was actually able to get in touch with the former manager and get some history on the car. It was practically unchanged from how they built it back then when I went to pick it up in northern Virginia.

I've had my Z since October 2019. I just had to put new wheels on it last week due to the wheels it came with apparently being utterly trashed. Was a sudden and unexpected expense but necessary. Went with something that could take my current tires but keep the costs down.

Hubby and I are currently in a weird space financially because of covid so I won't be doing much if anything to it for the foreseeable future. Until things change anyways. It needs a little exterior love soon since it's showing its age but spending money on car stuff right now would be pretty irresponsible. We hates it!

Anywho, just wanted to say hello and hope to get to know some fellow enthusiasts. I feel like a loner in our area. Not many Z's around here and the local tuner crowd is mostly young kids doing stupid stuff. Been there, done that, too old for it now. Lol

Welcome to the 370z forums and enjoy your Z. Out of all the vehicles I ever owned the Z is the best by far! Post some pics of your Z if you like I would like to see the stance with the Eibach Pro Kit springs.

Welcome! And enjoy that Z!!!
Zs are rare around here in MI also. Sort of makes you feel exclusive/ special.

Here's a side view of her. 20" wheels.

Did someone say Pearl White?

Spooler · 03-23-2021, 11:15 AM

Enjoy your Z. Go out and have a big time when you can.

Welcome Cait to the forum!

Welcome to the forum.

Enjoy the ride.

Post some pics of the dawg. There's a thread on here for doing just that.

This site's search function is, uh, less than optimal. Go to your favorite search engine and add
site:the370z.com
to your search string. Eg, pets site:the370z.com

If you plan on doing the wrenching on your Z, grab a copy of the FSM. Link in my sig.

I've noticed it's not the friendliest search function, lol. Definitely will be picking up the fsm soon. While I had it in the shop having the wheels done they recommended getting the clutch done soon, surprise surprise.
