    I know there's a huge club in CT but that's about it. I've posted on here asking about that but found noone.

     

    Looks like its just you and me homie.

    haha

     

    Haha yea dude I've heard of CTZCC but that's about it. And yeah that's what it seems like lol if/when I get my Z I'd be down for some Summer cruising around Beantown.

    Hey man. All I can say is good luck. I literally looked so much for so long that I gave up! Then by chance stumbled back in for a quick peek on craigslist and there she was.

     

    I got so lucky that I couldn't really give you much good advice. I was going to ship a 75+ 280z from the west coast since a lot of them have a hard time passing smog and are cheap. You can get one shipped to RI from CA for under $1k, and you can find nice 280zs for around $1800. That puts you lower than what I paid for this one local.

     

    But to answer your question I picked it up from a real Z enthusiast in Quincy, MA. The guy was a real wealth of knowledge and really hooked me up.

     

    Best of luck in your search. When you find the right one you will just know.

     

     

    As for the Priming I am starting to agree. I will properly treat all of the spots that are left and get a better primer. Can't be effing around with the climates around here being the way they are.

     

    Hey man thanks for the advice. I haven't been looking for too long (about 4 months) so I guess it would be best to remain patient.

     

    Sidenote, do you know of any Z clubs/meets in the Boston/RI area? I'd love to meet/cruise with other Zs when I get mine.

    I agree with the others and vote for correctly spot priming the car to at least keep the rust minimal and stop spreading.

     

    I had a question for you OP, I noticed you were from Beantown. I'm from RI and can't find a solid 240 anywhere near here lol. Any suggestions? Where did you pick yours up if you don't mind me asking.

    Sick car man, I've been into Subies for a while and had plans on purchasing a WRX for sometime but it didn't work out for me at the time. I did a great deal of research and reading for a couple years only to not get my WRX. But I can vouch for this car, it is definitely a well done STi. I think I may have seen it on Nasioc even. Glws man and good luck on getting your Z.

    Post pics of your z's here!!

    I am. I think your best bet is to simply ship a car from the west coast.

     

    True. That, or I guess I cold wait around until I find a nice resto'd one that matches my budget. If you don't mind me asking, how did you personally acquire your Z being from Jersey?
