Message	I have decided to part out my Z. It's sad really, and is something that I have been tossing around for a while. It was going to be one hell of a Z, but the money will be going to greater things for me and my family. I am at a very different point in my life, and I just do not want to put in the time to get this thing back together. For those that must know, the money is going towards a second and probably tiny house back home in Kauai, and a Ferrari Challenge Stradale. It's my dream car, and has been since 2004 when it came out and I started saving for it. My fiancé has known about this purchase for the past 7 years and is actually 100% cool with this purchase...better buy while she still is! haha. I am in no rush to sell, but would like it to go ahead and move forward. With that said, this is still not easy. It's my baby that I have owned for 11 years and has brought me many friends and a TON of memories. With that said though, I only need one sports car and I honestly want one that I will just enjoy in stock form. Does this mean the Z is not awesome in stock form? No...not at all. The Z is awesome in stock form, and now I wish I would have just left it alone haha, however when I was 16-21 years old, I did not think that obviously. For all of those out there that saw this coming....you were right :) For all of those that warned me about this.....you were right. With age comes wisdom, and I'm pleased with my decision to move forward from this project after thinking about doing this for several months. I've got around $100,000 into this car, so once again...this is not easy, however I am looking forward to joining you all at a ZCON once again with my new toy, and talking about cars over some beers. There is NO car community like the Z community Anyways, enough of that. I have a TON of custom and very nice parts, and don't just have tons of time to remove them from the car. Because of this, I will be selling a few parts at a time, then I'll move on to more parts. Once everything is sold, I'll sell the body of the car, as well as the custom monster of a motor. It's a nice all metal widebody frame and is new basically, so it'll make one cool stripped out project for someone. It'll be a while before that point comes, but it'll come eventually :) Here is what is for sale right now... It has been a while since I've bought these parts, so I am going off of prices off the internet, then discounting them. My prices might be high or low, so feel free to make me ANY offers on all parts. Thanks for looking. Carbon Throttle cable cover for front Carbing strut tower bar. - $150 shipped Brand new non HICAS PS pump customized for AN fittings, along with res customized for AN fittings and AN lines already made. Some bolts were also replaced with ARP hardware. Ready to go. -$500 shipped Z1 Short shifter - $130 shipped The newest style Tein FLEX coilovers with Umbrella Auto Designs variable ride height suspension in the front and rear, and EDFC to control the coilover stiffness. Never used. This is the way some exotic cars raise their cars to go over speed bumps. It does not affect ride or performance at all like how airbags do. When it is all the way down, it is just a solid aluminum spacer above the coilover....very cool. This setup is stunning. You get the stiffest performance coilovers that Tein makes, with adjustability from the cabin. then you can also control the height of your car from the cabin with the flip of a switch. It's pricey, but new, this is all usually $5320. You will not regret this setup. All new. $4300 shipped. SMZ interior parts installed. You will get the center console, and the two window switches. SUPER rare parts, and VERY nice. Actually molded to the shape of the interior, and not just stickers. - $500 shipped Carbing rear strut tower bar. New, and not a scratch. The brown on it is a piece of a leaf. Not sure how that got there.- $230 shipped 1999 transmission - Prefer local pickup, but will ship if you pay all shipping costs. - $1000 R230 twin turbo differential. Totally rebuilt with all new seals and gaskets. Quaife LSD. Leader gears. Differential splines were also cryo treated. All aluminum diff bushing. ready to install. This is brand new, and needs to be broken in still. Prefer local pickup, but will ship if you pay all shipping costs. - $2000 Airbag - $40 shipped SPL carbon racing seats custom wrapped in black novasuede. Brackets all included. The drivers seat is the smaller of the two sizes that they offered. Nice fit for anyone up to 6'0". A little taller if you are thin. Passenger seat is the larger of two sizes for any passengers to fit. Prefer local pickup, but will ship if you pay all shipping costs. There hug you but are ridiculously comfortable. I have actually thought about keeping them for the Stradale, but figure that'd just be silly - $1500 Engine damper powder coated black instead of anodized red- $140 shipped.
