Message	I have been waiting to write this email for almost 2 years. My "new" Z has been sitting an auto-cocoon since I bought it. I've put less than 500 miles on it 2+ years. I had been looking for a 95 TTz, 5spd with low miles for a while, when I found this one in SoCal. I wasn't crazy about the interior (tan), but I figured I could always swap it. In retrospect, I should have just waited it out for one with charcoal interior, but live and learn. The swap cost me around $1.7k, but I haven't sold any of the tan interior yet, so, hoping to recoup some of those costs. So, years and years later, I finally finished the swap. It took me a while to find all the pieces, and find the time to do it. While I was at it, I did a few other things. - installed a electronic boost controller - short shifter - rear diffuser ( a total pita to install, make sure you remove the tow hooks before you attempt to do this install) - new stereo - replaced all the rubber vacuum lines with silicone ones - new wheels Things I'm disappointed about: - The Work XD-9's, The rears stick out too much, but it was only offset for the wheels offered. I will be selling them once I find a new set of used volk gt-c's or some other nice 5 spoke wheel - The seats didn't come out as well I would have liked, hopefully they shrink up. The color is a little too dark, I wish they made a stock charcoal color, and they didn't fit as well I would have hoped. The installer (who was highly rated) said they got them to fit as best as they could, but since they were already pre-fitted, there wasn't much he could do about it. We'll see if they shrink up a bit, I hope so So, here are a few pics I snapped, nothing too exciting, but happy to be driving the Z again! And the charcoal looks SO much better than the tan imo. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- Sig Quotes: your brillant (n/m) - Zski (Generation Z) 14:36:48 06/17/04 Fat kids will eat anything.
