my story

Hi, I just made myself a member of this forum. I've checked it out a few times and it seems like i'll like it here.

to the story:

I used to own a 2005 Scion Tc. It was a good car considering it was the first car I had set out to customize/make my own. All I had done was basic I/H/E set up along with some other little things. I had also bought the AEM FI/C +harness set up and a set of enkei RPF1's. Like anyone else that loves cars I took very good care of the car.

since i was in 8th grade I wanted a 350z but couldn't get a loan for it. To make a VERY long story short, I got hit by someone trying to make an illegal U turn and totaled the car. After I had taken care of the insurance etc...I went car shopping and tested drove a silver 370z. Now, being used to the 4 cylinder sceen, i wasn't used to that fast of a car. I was instantly hooked and would not except anything less. I went to another dealer and seen a white one, so i said I wanted that. eventually I played with 2 dealers and in the end, got one of them to give me what I wanted. I guess you could say things happen for a reason.

2 months before that I started to make high principle payments to get a new car.

I ended up with the white 370...Kinda wish I got the R34 GTR but I'm still happy with the 370Z.

You were in 8th grade when the 350z came out? Damn I feel old reading this and I am only 26.

Congrats, nonetheless.

You'll need more than your insurance's reimbursement for the R34 GTR, we're talking about a arm and leg. Be happy w/ the 370z it's a great car!

from what ive been seeing and reading, there is an issue with getting traction. or rather a take off problem on the track. i think im going to get 2 smaller wheels (probably 17x7 or less) and get drag radials or slicks.
