Hey guys, just wanted to give an introduction. I started out with a 2004 Infiniti G35 a few years back, which I loved.

I ended up selling it for a Toyota Corolla, which I regretted soon after

Since then, I've had a 2006 STI, 2007 STI (ringland problems 3 times), and 2012 WRX Wagon. I sold the WRX to buy my finance her dream SUV and I was stuck driving the corolla. I started to miss driving a manual car with rear wheel drive. I started looking at the G35 again, but it looks kind of dated now, so I tried the g37, but it just doesn't seem as nice. I just happened to take a glance at the 370z and noticed how much nicer it was compared to the 350z.

I went to kill time before a friends birthday dinner and went to Nissan for fun. I ended up buying a 2013 370z base w/Sports Package 6MT. Let's just say, it's a GREAT change from the Corolla. I've already been doing research and the mod bug is starting to bite. Can't wait to see what this site has to offer and the people on it.

Let me be the first NorCal member on this forum to welcome you! I purchased mine back in March on an impulse and have no regrets. Only thing I would have done differently is gone with a sport package in MB.

This forum will help you out a lot as it has with me. I came from a VW with no modding experience minus intake/exhaust and am learning so much (by spending too many work hours on this site lol)

Grats and welcome! (One might say, welcome back after the corolla!)

Welcome!

MB37 · 06-06-2013, 06:17 PM

Thanks guys. Yeah I'll try to take pictures of it before I start modding things. I'm already trying to decide if I should redo the sound system or get the CBE. =D Having only four speakers suck, but an exhaust would be nice too.
