Lurking no more...from Memphis

Agent K · 03-30-2014, 10:58 PM

Hi Guys and Girls,

I've been lurking on this forum since last July. I finally purchased a Midnight Blue 2013 Z Touring/Sport Package/Nav with 5500 on the OD. The car has the frost gray leather interior. It came with tinted windows and front/rear mud flaps. I got a 3M clear bra installed last week. I've been wanting a sports car for a while. I came close when I ordered a Competition Orange 2010 Boss 302 but I didn't take delivery because of career change...man what would have been.

Anyway, the Z is going to be my weekend/project car. My daily driver is a 2013 Lexus ES300h UL with every option (special order). I look forward to getting some helpful advice from you veteran members on performance mods. I've already reached out to Sasha regarding support mods for turbo install. My plan is to have my support mods in place by the spring of 2015; the turbo should go in shortly afterward.

BTW, I've already ordered the illuminated kick plates and blue LEDs for the Z emblem.

Hi

Very nice. Love that seat color too. Congrats and welcome!

Thanks for the welcome everyone; glad to be here.

WOOHOO!!! The weekend's here so I get to drive the Z

But first, I have to change the oil. Here's some advice, don't believe the dealership when they say "We serviced the car before the sale". I bought my car with 5500 miles on it. The oil was really dark when I drained it. I put in some Castrol Edge Synthetic.

I also installed the ZSpeed underbody shroud. I'll post pics in the 'Exterior/Interior' section later.

Congrats and welcome to the family!

Thanks Z-Girl.

General question: Is it possible to get a set of clubs in the back of the Z? Or do the clubs have to ride shotgun...awkward?

I can get 2 sets in. You just gotta put them in diagonally. You might have to let a few of the clubs sit up/lean against the horizontal pillar....If that makes any sense
