VRJoe Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Boy, that's in good shape. You got a bunch of us between Philly and VA, so don't hesitate to ask for help. There's a lot of experience close by, let alone the advice you can get here. - Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudypoochris Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 First response is OMG. That is cleaner/nicer then my finished car will probably ever be! I am 17 too. Are you planning on doing any kind of motorswap? Also, I would advice against the tokico springs, as they are progressive and give you a little too much absorbsion before the rate gets good, that is just my opinion. If you want illuminas and shocks cheap, find jdmwerks on ebay (he has a store). You can get illumina 5 ways with the springs for about $550, then just sell the springs, got $190 for mine. I am not a big 280z guy, i enjoy the 2 seater 240z's a bit more due to their much lighter weight. But that car has alot of potential. Honestly though, I wouldn't touch that thing it is in such good stock condition I would sell it, then buy a 240z that needed work. That is just me though. Fine specimen, welcome, and remember to use the search function before you ask a question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
