Hey guys just signed up here today and though I'd post a little intro and pics of the Z. Sold my first Z late September and searched for a good week all over the Northwest for another Z. I found this one in Eugene, Oregon for about $200 more than I sold my other one for and so far this one is in better condition. It did have an engine swap in it but it had less miles and everything seemed to be right. Anyway drove over there one weekend and drove it back. Couple issues right off the bat. The radiator was about 2/3 clogged and it wanted to over heat on the way back. Soon as I got home new radiator goes in. Then I upgrade the intake from stock to a K&N cone filter. Well my idle is up around 3500RPM. Come to find out when they did the engine swap the mechanic left paper towels in the intake and they had gotten stuck in my throttle bodies.

After that the car has been a blast. It now has a full set of AMS pullies and just got the 120k timing kit button up the other week. Soon as winter is over I plan on going more low and getting some better wheels and tires. Also on the list is a flush mount spoiler, roof spoiler and new exhaust.

Would love any suggestions you guys have. Thanks for reading!!
