All i need is a new set of shocks, a paint job(wishfull thinking), New OEM shift knob, and various little parts, then i only want to spend on maintenance (hopefully). I will Probably be paying off the credit cards for a looong time, so hopefully i wont have to sell the Z in a jam. I have decided this car is going to last darn it :).
Thanks to all the vendors who got me the parts i needed Coz, SpecialtyZ, Ashspec, Redlinegoods.com, and especially Charles@Powertrix. Hes right down the street from me and very accommodating, cant get any better then that when you want some parts fast. And SplParts for getting me the rims in 2 days at a unbeatable price. And Streetneeds for the hosting. And Rush motorsports for doing the work on the Z. Excellent Z community.I owned a 89 automatic turbo which had lots of problems and no boost so i traded in and bought a 90TT 5spd (learned how to drive stick on it lol). The motor blew up on me a month later. I got it all rebuilt and then the turbos went out so i sold it not able to afford to fix the turbos and many other problems it had. I bought a 2000 honda prelude, custom JacksonRacing supercharged it (first one to be tuned by hondata at custom 9psi of boost)my gauge read 11psi though, not happy, then custom turboed it to 9psi, very happy. Almost got in an accident going too fast and someone tried to make a turn in front of me last minute knowing i was going really fast. Almost died and killed two people decided never to street race ever again. Blew my motor over revving it trying to avoid the accident. Didnt hit anyone so it was worth it. Rebuilt the motor, sold the lude, really wish i didnt (I loved the 4 seats, gas mileage, and how fast it was turboed) hated front wheel traction problems :). I didnt want a civic so i went back to what i really wanted. Got a Red 92TT from a dealership, returned it because after i bought it they wanted more money. Then I got this 91TT and spent my soul upgrading all the parts that needed to be replaced and im very happy with it, and very broke. That is my cliffnotes car life story sorry to bore everyone lol. My new 5Zigen HyperBlack FN01R-C 17x9 all around with Falken Azenis ST115 255/40/17 tires all around and powertrix rear adjustable arms, front upper adjustable arms, and adjustable tension rods to save my tires. I had to get a new front cross member because the previous owner had notched out the mounting holes on it to adjust camber. Ingenious but very dangerous i only discovered it because it was making clicking noise when turning.
 New Brembo OEM rear rotors and pads.
 Black Italian Leather Shift boot and ebrake boot from redlinegoods.com and AshSpec short shifter. I could have gotten the shift boot in a shorter version for the short shifter but i forgot about it and i dont want to spend another 40 dollars when it looks fine (Im very thrifty).
 Sorry about the long post i have never really posted anything (good) about my car before and im 23 and have had 3 and a 1/2 Z's.
