Default From Honda to Nissan

Thanks admins for the add! I am a new Z owner, as I purchased a 2009 370z Touring 6MT last week. I absolutely love the car. I don't need to go on about what I enjoy because I know you all know just what there is to love about this car. I have been following the forum for a couple weeks now and gotten tons of useful information.

I was lucky in purchasing the car with 48K miles on it, loaded up without Nav, with Fast Intentions exhaust and Stillen intake, along with 18" Work Emotion 11R's, already on the car.

I have decent plans for the car, as I think they are phenomenal both performance and look-wise. Yesterday, I finished up an order for the new 19x9.5" and 19x11" Work CR2P's in GT Silver face/anodized silver(chrome) lip, BC type BR coilovers, and SPC camber kit. I am excited to receive the wheels but will not get them until May-April, probably.

Huge thank you to Mark with RavSpec for all the help with the order.

-------

A little about me- I'm from Northwest Arkansas and starting modifying cars with my second car in 2012, a 2009 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L V6. I won't go in detail about the previous car but it was totaled 4 weeks ago when a 85 year-old lady ran a red light, hit the passenger quarter panel sending it to my right, down into a ditch, and into the front end of a parked Ram2500 in a used car dealership. No one was injured.

I look forward to meeting new people in a different scene with the 370Z's and modifying this car, as I really enjoy it so far. Along with the coilovers and wheels, I plan to add the new AppRadio 4, AM-S kit, spoiler, and custom headlights.

Below are pictures are the new Z and my old Accord Coupe. Thanks for looking!

"Let me tell you something. Anyone who owns a car like this (370Z) has something wrong with them in the head." - My Grandpa who has owned 4 Z's in his day.

Congrats on the purchase. I have an Accord and still use it as a run around car. Welcome.

Welcome and congrats to my fellow HOG fan. I grew up by the Northeast section of Hogland as I could the Memphis skyline from my backyard. Have fun with your Z!

Oh yeah; I'm with you on that. I see the Hogs getting better each year. Hopefully they can make the next step Petrino never got to make. It's nice to see more respect for the Hogs, now that they've proven they can beat you.

Sweet looking Accord. Sorry you lost it in a crash. Anyway, welcome to the Z club. The sky's the limit when it comes to modding this beast. But if your mods are anything like your Accord, I'm looking forward to seeing what you do to the Z.

Thanks man! I appreciate that. It was a pain with the process after the wreck and wish I hadn't lost it like that too but everything happens for a reason. Now on to a better car.

My grandpa had 4 Z's, last one being a 300Z. He was teasing me, knowing it was a funny joke bc he had owned them too.
