looks good, the wheels are different but not bad, I might not buy a set liek that but I might not be in a hurry to replace them either

mind if I ask what you paid for this little gem?

[Leegamer]

Thanks.

I'll be putting on a set of power-coated Conquest TSI wheels as soon as I shell out the money for tires, but you're right...these don't look horrid.

I paid 2k for it, which afterwards seems a bit high to me due to the fact that it could use a clutch, but the car is in great shape and runs very well, so I don't regret that at all.

I don't thinkg $2k si out of line, looks liek you got a good solid complete car for the price, the cluthc is s simple enough job, and beter you knwo it's in need of replacment on the fornt end than a week after you bought it

[Leegamer]

Exactly. And I have a yaris as a DD, so I don't have to worry about the clutch on this giving out on me on the way to work. I don't have the space right now to do it myself, so I'll either have a shop do it or see if a friend will help me out.

pretty sharp looking car looks like you got a pretty good deal. Your right though i think the wheels are a little different they dont look to bad though. I think some conquest rims would look pretty killer on there though ive owned a few of those cars as well..

[Leegamer]

Thanks. My friend just bought a conquest. I'd like to drive it and see how it compares to the Z.

[evildky]

the conquest TSI is pretty decent, they are severly limited by their throttle body type fuel injection
