I recently got rid of mine. It was a fun to drive car (when it wasn't down due some random problem).

I always thought highly of these cars and my father nearly bought one himself but they didn't have the configuration he wanted and we ended up getting something else.

I guess I'm lucky knock on wood!!!! We've never had any real issues with the Zcars, but then again I service my cars. They're not Toyota reliable but as a real deal big boy sports car goes it's hard to beat! But the are 20 years or older & stuff will go out.

I've always been partial to light colored interiors! Should've got the JDM front bumper.

No cutting for me even the tunnel doesn't have to be banged. My fmic and piping setup are bolt on no cuts. Even harness will be a one off custom made setup.

Great!!! If you're going to do it that's the way! Bolt on with "minor" manipulation to the original integrity or body of the car! No patch job for Plex!!!!!

It's rare to spot any Japanese 90's sports cars anymore. Days of the MR2s, Supras, RX7s, 300ZXs, 3000GTs, and NSXs are gone. Hope I didn't miss any cars.

Finally bought an HKS ALC today, a member from another forum in WI, referred me to a fellow Z owner that is parting out some performance Z parts and read my post. I got a good deal on it and I'm eager to get it in.

On the HKS ALC... I love it!!! The shifts are crisp, and the cars is livelier. I don't beat on it but it's a vast improvement in my driving pleasure. I also added MagnaFlow 200 Cel cats they're the perfect combination of performance and sound. The 100 cel was a bit raspy IMO for my setup.

It's been a while since I've been here and I've customized a few interior bits (radio bezel, vents, door pulls, etc) with carbon fiber, custom Nappa leather auto shifter & boot cover, custom Momo steering wheel, cross drilled & slotted rotors, 55w 5000k HIDS, new LED lights in all interior positions including cluster with black series gauge rings etc. post pictures after I reassemble interior again!!! Lol
