Finally Got My Z!

Nillaz · 03-10-2012, 10:02 PM

Hey everyone!

After months of searching for the right Z to come along, a perfect storm of financial mishaps, and a heartbreaking morning where my perfect Z car got sold to someone else as I was on my way to take delivery, I finally got to drive home in an '09 Z Sport today.

It's been a crazy long day with over 7 hours of driving to get the car, but I have to say I'm like a kid at Christmas. Even though I can barely keep my head up I'm still sitting here doing research on eventual mods. I wanted to say thanks to everyone for all of the immensely helpful info I've picked up on this forum while quietly looking. After 2 years of suffering in an Acura it feels great to be back in an honest to god sports car again!

Congratulations on your Z

to the forum. So many choices with mods. Search and ask questions. That's what it's here for.

Thanks Daemon.

I think I'm going to start with a new audio system before moving on to performance mods. I know I'll definitely want to replace the exhaust (I'm thinking FI) at the minimum but all in good time!

F.I. is a great choice. Just contact Tony there and he'll fix you up right.

Ah lucky you! I'm still in the process of trying to get my hands on a Z. I can't wait to be in your shoe! Congrats!

Wow your right, my bad. Guess I got a little overzealous!

'09 Platinum Graphite/Black interior with Sport Package. I just rolled 18,000 miles on my way home yesterday.

I was looking for my camera when I got up this morning since the weather is so awesome today, but I think the wife took it with her this morning. I'll try to snap a few this afternoon if I'm home when she comes back.
