Im going to change the front and rear hubs/bearings, Brake pads, rotors, brake lines, and tires in the next week or two. With these many miles, I want to replace anything that could have allot of wear and tear. The tranny was completely serviced and a new computer was installed under a recall.Its going to get stripped and re-painted next week, and Ive already got a JoeZ intake with a drop in filter on their way.

Welcome and I think it's good karma that your front wheels aren't backwards....

I'm pretty sure there has never been a recall on the the transmission or the computer. But good if they're new or "been serviced."

And lastly, don't make the mistake of many first time posters, that is, have a thick skin when you post pictures or ideas for comment. There will be many good and bad so don't over-react and you'll fit just right in...

Welcome to the F family and I recommend your first mod to be sikky headers with installation by JE in Baltimore....

LOL! Ya know they might be!

The tranny computer got replaced because it wouldn't take a flash. The flash was the recall. I can get you the TSB number on it from tech when I pass by there again. Maybe I misunderstood him, but now Im curious.

Ive been around car forums for a loooong time. I know how people get in these communities. But, I also know since the car is still fairly expensive it helps weed out some of the BS.

Pete, Ill write that down, lol!! I love Baltimore. I used to drive up there all the time when I was stationed in Quantico, VA. I spent all of my time there and in Washington on my off days.


Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

Love the red Z. What do you plan on doing to the F. What color will you paint it?

Honestly I have no idea. I know I would love a nice drop with some 20" BBS LM or Work VS-XX wheels. Gold color with some nice polished lips. Joe Z intake and exhaust, and maybe a lip kit. Something not too extreme.

Ill keep the color the same. I love it!

Yesterday I spent about 4 hours polishing the exhaust tips that were badly covered in carbon and road grime. I can finally show off the *** end of the car, lol.
