Popular Post 1fynz Posted December 30, 2008 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hello CR! Highlights of my life: My name is Mark, and I've lived in Delaware my whole life. Im 19, and am halfway through my first year at Ohio Wesleyan University. I'm looking to major in some type of business or ecomonics, and probably double major in spanish. I'm not good at all with this about me stuff, so Ill just focus a little more on the car My rolling bank account: Never planned on buying a Z, just randomly saw this 1990 300zx non turbo for sale along the road, and fell in love. It was rougher than the picture lets on though. http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i169/1fynzx/IMG_3831.jpg $3,000 later it was mine. I was 14 at the time, so I had a while to get it in shape. First thing I tackled was the interior which looked like it was used for chainsaw storage. Being that I was 14, guess what I did to it? ....(Dont worry, we'll come back to that) http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i169/1fynzx/IMG_7340.jpg Then the outside. Thank god I had better taste there. http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i169/1fynzx/IMG_7309.jpg That's pretty much how it was for a while, little things here and there. Late 07 and 08 she drained my accounts again. BBS wheels that I got for a steal. http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i169/1fynzx/IMG_2250.jpg This spring, I decided to fix two things that really bugged me with the car. First, was the interior. Couldn't stand the headache I got from looking at it anymore, and recovered with automotive grade suede. http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i169/1fynzx/IMG_7710.jpg And most importantly, the engine. Out went the non turbo, and in went the twin turbo. Thanks SilverTwin! Just basic mods, as Im really just after reliability and drivability. http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i169/1fynzx/IMG_8450.jpg The front is getting a makeover this winter, as you can see in that picture^ (Booooo, overspray) As she sat this fall http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i169/1fynzx/3zcsized12.jpg http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i169/1fynzx/3zcsized6.jpg I always see some really nice cars driving around so Im looking forward to putting some names with them, and learn a little bit along the way. Ill do my best to contribute back to the community as well! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICEMAN1647545504 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Good intro newb... One of the best ones I have seen on this board. The car looks great, I always wanted a clean Z... Does the car need to be lowered. In some pics, it takes an odd stance like it needs to be lowered still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 Sweet Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Nice intro! Cool pics, and great job overhauling the interior (and the rest of the car as well). Looks great, man. Welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Main3s Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Nice work, did you do the interior yourself? Welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fynz Posted December 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Thanks all for the compliments and welcomes! Very nice. I didnt even mind the bumblebee interior. How much do you want for it? It's no more. I just replaced the vinyl on the pieces. Does the car need to be lowered. In some pics, it takes an odd stance like it needs to be lowered still... Yes it does! I actually put on new shocks and mild lowering springs this fall, but when the old stuff was being removed, it was the original pieces, so the car was already lowered, just by the shocks being old and the springs sagging. The new equipment basically just held it at the same spot, but the ride is SO much better. I hope to fix the stance this summer. Nice work, did you do the interior yourself? Welcome! I did everything but the seats. Im not good with the sewing machine, yet! Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1fynz Posted December 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Who did the seats? I'd like to do that to the car/truck/Buick thing. Buckeye Upholstery did the seats, I also ordered the fabric through them. Very quick turnaround on the seats. I was glad too, I poorly planned when I was going to have them done, so literally the day I got my car back from the engine swap, I had to take the seats out! I think it was about a week, though, so I survived. Thanks for the promotion guys!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1fynz Posted December 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Your mistaken. I was asking about the car. Oh, not really for sale, but like with anything, the right offer can be persuasive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
