Well, since I have been in Raleigh I have yet to have something I enjoy driving on a daily basis. The tahoe is only so much fun and the civic gets good MPG but 192whp is not cutting it. The black 350z is more of a garage queen then anything so I decided I need something fun that I am not so worried about.

My first thought would be to trade the civic plus cash for something more luxurious while keeping good mpgs. I decided that another Z is the only answer.

In the long run, I am looking for a safe 475whp and 500ft/lbs.

I will post pictures as often as possible. The motor is set to go in Friday. It will be running NA till the suspension and brakes are finished. My goal is to have it running by the first of the year. (Two weeks) After that I would assume the build would slow down a bit.

Uh, so your building a race car for the daily driven commute, cool.

Black Nugget

I don't know if you know this or not... but when you are leaving Kroger with a fresh thing of Ben & Jerry's "Half Baked" having a built turbo daily commuter is exactly what you need to hurry home and let the nom nom nom'ing begin.

OP.. if you don't like B&J Half Baked, you're a faggot and this shit is stupid.

I had a feeling people were going to have comments along those lines.

I like to drive something that I enjoy driving. The suspension rides nice, it will have a very nice stereo, and plenty of power. I also want a car that I can take to the track and not worry as much about. Its no different then a Zo6 corvette as far as power and ride quality

I daily drove my black z for two years.

Nice! how much did you pick up the shell? if you dont mind me asking. A Z33 would be cool to build

It is a long story behind this car. To keep it short friend built the car, ran out of money, parted the car, and sold the shell to me. But I got it pretty cheap.

I have seen shells for 5k which is not terrible if you think about it. A VQ swap is cheap. Just make sure it comes with all of the wiring
