Message Its totally fine what you have said....yes 98% of Z's that have body kits are slow.....my NA Z is very slow. But you know me so well and went right off the board of how well you knew me that you knew i was lookin for a twin turbo Z from the beginning. Very hard to find one with 1) Low Miles and 2) that wasnt beat to shit, especially the exterior. The reason i bought the Stillen gtz-rII is because i'm going to need a different bumper when i do the swap, the NA bumper does not fit the intercoolers, and plus i only got it for 200 bucks, not a bad cost, especially since when i have the money to get the 99 JDM front, i can easily sell it for more than i bought it. But you know me.

Now to move onto the part where you said spend 10 grand on the body. Its funny that my Z is a 92 and still the original stock color, nothing painted except for the body kit. Funny how the only thing i spent was 50 bucks for some guy that works at my dads body shop where my dad and i basically did all the work ourselves. So in all honesty, i spent about maybe 450 on everything. But you know me.

Now onto the centerpanel.....i dont know why for some odd reason that center panel does fit kinda wierd.....but i guess thats why i only use it when i'm at shows, gets you more points. But i guess we do think alike in one way, i love the stock nose panel, and i think thats why i kept it and always have it on outside of shows. But you know me.

Onto the movies and magazines part.....i hate the movie fast and the furious, it did nothing but bring out civics with aluminum wings and coffee can exhausts that are useless. And considering i've been doing this shit since way before fast and the furious came out, but you know me.

So now to the point....its sad you think i'm affraid to drive fast, considering like i said before i was lookin for a TTZ but couldnt find one worth the money. So aftera a year and a half of searching i bought a NA Z and decided to do a swap. The reason i dont have the Engine yet, (even though i'm going to be buying one on wednesday from a Member off this board) is because no one around town will even bother trying to do the swap....except for one place and thier wanting to charge me 100 dollars an hour. So i'm lookin for other shops around town within a good driving range. The reason i have the hood, is cus someone during my basketball practice stuck a screw driver right through my hood, so i needed a new hood, bought a carbon fiber one. From a distance, even close up the hood looks identical to the color, except for in the pic, because of all the major lighting.

But anyways, thanks for knowin who i am and how i think, you are a swell man for stating your facts. But when you state your facts without knowing the facts, thats pretty sad. But please, keep informing me on your opinion.
