Hey from CA!
 

Hey all,

My name is Owen and recently came into the jdm scene which I never thought I would with a 2013 370z touring package. So far the market is crazy with support compared to where I came from which is great.

I originally started out with a Kia Optima Sx where I played around with it a lot and got introduced to the scene. I did a lot to it and it came out nice until I realized how any miles I put into it and decided not to be upside down in my owning value. :mad: attached is at least a pic of how it looked as well as my car now.

I've always liked the z line but I was more practical and decided not to be. It's black and I got some plans for it ie body kit, fenders, dropping, and performance later on.

Otherwise, I look forward to sharing and learning new knowledge about the field and making my z one of my own. :D

Greetings from SoCal!

Nice upgrade!

welcome aboard, im up the hill in Hangtown, have never seen another 370z ever up here...

Congrats!

Do people still say "scene"? Kia support must be really bad if you think the Z has a lot of aftermarket mods.

Welcome to the forum.

Congrats and welcome, Owen! :tiphat:

Good choice on the MB!

Welcome to the Z family....

Welcome to the Z family!

And Im sure that this Z is quite a difference from a Kia Optima SX lol...

:worship:

Congrats and welcome to the family!

Lol they do! And yes unfortunately in terms of support, it has been picking up and there are a lot of exterior mods but performance wise there's only a couple tuners out there and honestly only one could be trusted and he's straight from Korea.

Note mine was also tuned by him and made to 320 whp but also FWD has its limits and mine was also on stock internals aside an FMIC and WMI injection. It just didn't make sense to have a lot of internal upgrades ie lightweight pulleys and etc to only make 320 and on a FWD. Also for the fact I started having white exhaust smoke which signals a bad turbo or seals going bad :(

Yeah lol it definitely took some getting used to knowing I don't have a back seat or nearly the same trunk room but I never really used it unless I was hauling an exhaust!

Best thing is the cornering sheesh! I was on coils also but even stock for right now feels better :ughdance:

Also thanks again for the welcome! RWD!

Is that over by Placerville?

Placerville is one in the same,,back in the gold rush days theyd bring all the outlaws to the county building and they would hang them on the tree right outside, it was called hangtree,,quite a colorful past. Marshall discovered gold a few miles to the North..
