FitmentKing Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Hello! New to this forum! My name is Oscar and I live in SoCal (I.E.) and have a crazy passion for cars! I work for a wheel company/manufacturer (ACE ALLOY WHEEL) and love what I do. I go to every event I can (free tickets yay) and get to see the most craziest builds. I had been thinking about getting a car that I would have a fun time driving and at the same time enjoy the build as progress grows. I just wanted something different that I rarely see at shows other than usual Honda/BMW. I wanted my car to be extra special and a neck breaker, and just 2 Sundays ago I went on Craigslist, and found me a beautiful 280z that was babied and really well taken care of inside and out. 90k original miles, everything was stock, 1 owner and grandfather owned. I started it, drove it around the block and I instantly left a deposit and went to pick it up 3 days later! If you are in the I.E. feel free to send me a message so we can gather around sometime, some shoots, work on cars etc as I would love to get closer with the Z community around me. Mods that I am looking at getting currently are, a spoiler (victory), xenon air dam, 240z front and rear bumper conversion, jdm fender mirrors, coilovers, and some wheels! They Day I Got Her!

FitmentKing Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) First Thing I had to do, was get rid of the 50 pound bumpers lol. Here are some edited shots after the front bumper and rear bumper removal! So i decided to shave off the right rear bumper shock.. Purchased custom made wooden shift knob.. So far so good. Make Sure To Check Out [@NOSTALGIC_GRAINS] On Instagram! They Have A Great Variety Selection Of Custom Made Shift Knobs, Or Check Out Their Website That Is Soon To Be Fully Up, Still Under Construction At The Moment. I Hope This Helps For People Looking At Getting A Custom Shift Knob. http://nostalgic-grains.com/ Edited August 28, 2014 by FitmentKing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spyder Z 15 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 If you are looking for local Z meets check out EmpireZ.com. 1st thursday of every month in Ontario. Very chill and last meet we had 32 Zs there. Every chassis represented except the S130 280ZX. Nice build. I'm searching for a cheap 75 or older Z in the area for a project.

FitmentKing Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 Looking to upgrade to Mishimoto Radiator & Mishimoto Oil Cooler. Switching up to type 1 air dam as well to achieve that low front look. Also seen this, has anyone else looked into them. http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/classic02b/50-1570 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
