My Parents Surprised Me!
 

So I just graduated from the University of Minnesota, and I drive home (to houston, tx) from school for the holidays and this black beauty is sitting in the driveway. My jaw dropped and I screamed like a little girl. :happydance:

They had made me believe it was too expensive of a car, and they couldn't afford the insurance. Tricksters! :merrychristmas:

Greetings Forum!

ps. question is that stock tint or was it tinted?

Congrats!

That looks like aftermarket tint.

Merry Christmas!

Congrats!

Your first mod should be an upgrade to the Sport package 19" Rays and tires. I'll just happen to have a set available after Christmas with less then 2,500 miles on the wheels, tires, and TPMS in mint condition. :tup:

Shameless plug over.

Again, congratulations on graduation and the graduation present.

Merry Christmas!

nice sir!

first thing i can say is remove the stock cats. i think we can all agree that the stock cats really choke this car down. high flow cat or test pipe, coupled with a cat back will make that thing a whole lot meaner

Congrats!!!
 

You have some good parents! Congrats on graduation from College and the well deserved 370Z. Achievement equals Reward.:tiphat:

Congrats & welcome to the forum!

Congrats! Nice gift and perfect timing on your parents part. :tiphat:

Very nice! Are your parents looking to adopt? I am probably older then them, but let's not sweat the little details. :icon17:

Wow nice! Best Christmas gift ever!

Congrats and Welcome! :hello:

Jesus, is this a common thing in Texas? I have a friend in college (in MN as well) who recently went back home to Texas where her parents had a brand new Mustang GT waiting for her. If you can't tell, I'm jealous :D

GRATZ, thats a great start to X-mas

Good job graduating and congrats on the Z, you have very nice parents!

I'm lucky if I can get $5 from my mother so you are very fortunate :icon17:

I am definitely jealous... My parents gave me NOTHING for christmas and I certainly didn't buy anything for myself either...

Congrats and welcome! I am also a member of the jealous club :D

Poor gal, parents must not have loved her

congrats OP, enjoy it in good health. :driving:

Rims will definitely be one of my first mods.

What does that do to warranty? My mom made sure to tell me all about the extra money they spent on an extended warranty, so don't eff it up.

you know your not the first to say that? but i'm sure they can't wait till they don't have to shell out to me anymore!

well the common thing in texas is to get a mustang in general. Thats the end-all-be-all sports car. if its a mustang and its got a v8, its FAST! (stated in a very sarcastic southern accent)

So, new news... my rear speakers don't work :mad:

When I switch the fade to the Rear speakers, there is no sound. At first I was like oh wait, i don't have the premium sound package, I don't have rear speakers. Then I figured that was silly, so i looked and there are speaker grills... just no sound. There are rear speakers in the base sound package, right?

First of all welcome and congrats on the Z. Thats awesome of your parents to do that for you. As for the speakers in the rear. I could have sworn I read on here somewhere that there is no speakers back there just grill with the standard setup. When you get the upgraded package you get the rear fill speakers. Better off going aftermarket anyways. Well enjoy your new toy. Merry Christmas...

Congrats on the Z and on your graduation! ...Sorry bud, no speakers in the rear on the base, the first thing I did was a full stereo install and 6 speaker replacement on my car, stock system is horrible and I haven't read much good on the Bose either.

haha thats so jankity! Excuse my improper terminology. Sounds like I'm in the market for some speakers, what size are they? 6x9 i'd assume.

What rear wing is that?

<----Jelly

Congratulations OP, enjoy it in good health.:tup: here's what my parents gave me when i graduated high school :

:tup::tup:

Factory sport wing.

The only thing a high flow cat, cat back, our test pipe can legally void is your exhaust (which u will be replacing anyways. Other than that, your good to go. voids nothing else engineor drivetrain related

Cool Parents
 

Enjoy

:tiphat: freaking amazing.

Thank you Kaienz34

:tup: awesome... so HFCs over intake? I have an amazon gift card... plan on using it towards something. Sooner than later :driving:

Best power mod for the money i'd say HFC's.

So this begs the question, did your parents buy it for you to drive back to MN, or someone else in the family will use it in TX while you're away at school.


If it's the latter, stop reading now. If not, your first mod should be a set of snow tires so you can drive it in the winter :)

I have a 2001 Honda Civic as a daily/winter driver :tup:

Haha, I had to buy my own graduation gift, but I learned a long time ago not to be jealous of people who have more. They have more for a reason. Congratulations and don't let any haters get you down! Enjoy it responsibly! I have yet to meet a single person who handed the keys to ANY car back to their parents.

Congrats and Welcome!

high flow cats or test pipe will be your best bang for the buck purchases
