Hi all,
As some of you already know I've recently bought Pierre's '54 plate Azure Blue 350z GT. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it at Tradelink and put a deposit down with the intention of picking up a week later. I've owned the car for two weeks now and I love it even more, it's great to drive and it's my first RWD experience too.
It was hard for me to part with my previous car, my '95 Civic EG (some of you may know me from Civiclife.net). I've spent the past two years on dedicating my time and money to it, converting it from a 1.3 carb engine to a 1.8 Type R VTEC engine fully kitted with Skunk2/Spoon Sports parts. I'll show you some before & after pics below, from when I first bought it to how it was before I broke it for bits.
It's emotional, even now haha. But that's the last pictures of the finished product really. BUT, moving swiftly on to the more important subject, my current project below:
The spec is exactly the same as how Pierre had it, and I can tell it's been really well looked after. Glad I've bought it from someone off here, really was aiming for that.
I've got no major plans for it right now so won't be dealing with turbo's etc, but for now my plans include:
- New exhaust system (would love a genuine Nismo system, but more likely gonna be Tanabe or Milltek)
- Nismo bodykit mix & match (most likely gonna go for a full v1 kit, but tempted to get the v2 front bumper)
- New alloys (badly want some genuine Ray/Volk's TE37's, anybody know of somewhere that'll import them?)
- New lowering springs or coilovers
Thanks,
Joe
