Swiftgit Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) Hi So I have brought a 2005 Z roadster in orange it is a cat N but is a good base. Need the roof replaced and the drivers seat repaired but it has all most complete service history to 48000, With only 58000 on the clock it drives well and of course sounds great with a scorpion back dox. So I will keep you posted on the jobs as i get round to doing them. I'm shore there will be some questions for the assembled.

GranTurismoEra Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) Got my eye on a few. Was going to get the Nismo 370 which I had before but going to leave it. Maybe Ill keep it for a few years and see what happens with any announcements as that always affects prices of previous. Any mods planned?

Any mods planned? l'm saying no I will keep it stock but there are so fun bolt on goodies. it already has a after market exhaust fitted so maybe one or two little mods won't hurt.

GranTurismoEra Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 The one im going to check tomorrow has a stock exhaust which isnt bad. As its convertible it gets loud in the cabin right? Even with the roof up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does let in a bit more noise but with the roof down go find a tunnel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) checked one out today. Roof wasnt working couldnt hear the motor plus roof needed changing mechanically it was in good condition had it inspected Phoned around no one fixes the electrics just change the roof Edited March 13, 2019 by GranTurismoEra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaikora Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I some times consider a convertible but worry about the noise in the cabin when the roof is up, is it as bad as they say? If you change the roof can you insulate a little or there isn’t really any room to do so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiftgit Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 Mine is alot quieter now that I have sorted the ripped hood. I've not driven a hard top to compare it to but then again how many of the hard top owners have driven a soft top. I would say it is no worse than some of the hard top sports cars I've had.

GranTurismoEra Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) are you able to fix the roof if it stops working mechanically? Edited March 22, 2019 by GranTurismoEra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know not tried yet but the manual gives all the details from fault finding to repair so I will try if I have to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a " moody " roof on mine, problem with the reat latch which locates into the tonneau so have taken latch of and all good, its still even 99.9% waterproof.
