1st post, been lurking awhile, finally made the jump to the dark side, anyway sold my pretty much track only Cobra today, and bought myself this 02 Z about a month ago, love this car, just wanted to wait to post until I could throw up some pics, had to put some new shoes and more agressive sounding exhaust on it first. LMK whatch think.








I need to fix the right side, they are a motherbitch to get right.
