My 300 ZX

Last update: 4/9/02

This is my Z.  I drive like a maniac so stay out of my way. It's the only car this color in town so if you see me  HONK ! ;-

I've had my Z a couple of years now and have loved every minute I spend behind the wheel.  It used to be factory "aztec red"  until my dad dinged me on the front fender which is when I decided to go all out on a color change. I took it out to a performance driving school and had a blast.  I started modifying small bits and pieces and before I knew it, it snowballed into what is now a "work in progress".  I don't think I'll ever get it done. More go fast goodies coming soon.  Gotta save some dough.  Well n-e-ways that's my car.

At first I wasn't going to put anything on my Z but I couldn't pass doing this one thing to it. I think it looks cool don't you?

Car Info [for the gear heads]

These are the Random Technology cats I had put on the Z.  They make a really big difference throughout the power band.  The engine revs up faster plus it sounds sweet.

I got these right after new year's.  I've gotten a lot of thumbs up driving down the road.

I painted the mufflers to match the calipers a week after I got them.  Just a little more individuality for my Z.

Here's what I think the new Z should have looked like.  It's a shame about theirs.  I think it's just plain nasty.
