Default new check out my 96 z34

hey all,
i'm new here, got my 96 z34 a few weeks ago. i've done a few things so far, nothing big. just replaced the stock headunit with a Kenwood excelon KDC-X789, filled the open space under the headunit with a 3 gauge cluster, and got gas and break pedal covers. i'm planning on getting a 10w7 powered by a JL 500/1 within the next few weeks. i'm also looking to get an intake...any suggestions? the only ones i've seen are on ebay for about $20 so i'm not sure how reliable they are.

i'm going to be 17 in about a week and bought this car from my nieghbor. my dad plans on keeping it once he retires since he will no longer have his company car.

hes looking to get around 8500 for it...its in good condition but still needs some work. we've put hours of time and plenty of money into it, but lately have been running short on both.

visit http://www.cardomain.com/id/96_z34 for pictures and more details

Wow, you got alot going on in that interior. Just my opinion here so don't take it personal, I don't like the head unit installation, only because the install kit isn't flush. It looks like it sticks out quite a bit. The guages at the bottom give a "I mean business" appearance, but the install isn't clean either. Looks like there is some daylight at the top, about 1/2" or so. I like the pedals though. The iPod adds to the "cool" factor. Overall, it's not bad, I would just do a few things a little different. At least you didn't paint any interior panels though

yea i wasn't real happy with the way the gauges came out either. my dad did them one day while i was at work and that gap was the first thing that i noticed. i'll probably try to fix it eventually but it doesn't both me too much so its alright for now. and yea the headunit does stick out a little more than i would have liked but i think it was still a good purchase. when your sitting back in the seat you can't really see the screen so you have to tilt it up all the way to the last (steepest) setting. but besides those two things i'm happy.

thanks for your input.
