let me introduce myself, my i30

So i havent really introduced myself yet because i wanted to get my car lowered and stuff, But its all said and done. I initially picked this car up to replace my crappy civic i was using as a daily driver. My primary car is a Toyota Supra, but it has become my track car/summer car (i got into road racing these past 2 years)
I've owned this car for 3 weeks so far. Week one was fixing the harness then i found some ksport coilovers in the FS section for $500 and my friend was selling his 350z wheels for $500, so i just had to pimp it out. This car is a 98 i30t with 167k. I picked up this thing for $2k. Of course it had some electrical problems or else i wouldnt have gotten a deal on it... damn mice ate the engine harness. but all is well now, i spent $5 for a used harness at the junkyard and all is well now. What do you guys think? not bad for 2k + 1k + $5

Heres how it looked 2 weeks ago:





After today with 350z wheels and ksport coilovers :green:




you can see the back of the supra in the last pic, maybe ill post more pics later.

Love the rims. Not too overbearing and not too conservative. Good choice.

i realy dont mind the stiff ride. all my cars have had coilovers so its not a big deal to me. the only thing that bothers me is that my rear tire is rubbing even with rolled fenders. i think its actually rubbing the wheel well itself. i might try to stiffen up the rear a little more to prevent this.

its a junkyard in morrisville, pa called pick a part or pull a part... i cant remember. both names are actual junkyards and both are down the street from one another. great places, but sometimes hard to find what you need. i havent seen any infiniti's in either one, but theres plenty of maximas.

car looks relly nice. arent the Z33 wheels staggered offset? or wider rear wheels than the front? i'm thinking of getting those wheels for my car but i think they look a lot better on you I30...

Sweet ride. I bought my I30t 4 years ago and it has been fun. I'm jealous... Love the black on black. Now all you need is some dark tints and perhaps some cerfiro headlights and you'll be set. lol.

Great pickup!

nice.....i would next get new headlights, tint the windows, and since you have a spoiler, i would get a rear window half spoiler. No need to paint since your car is already black. And if you want, a new grill
