2006-
Alright story starts off as me being 16 and almost time for me to look for a car. It's right after christmas and there's a white ZX2 loaded with all the options and it's waiting to get some body work done by my dad. Well we talked to the guy and he said I could buy it. So my parents drove it until I was 17 and as of July 2nd it was mine.

July 2nd- I installed an insane sound system-Rockford Fosgate AMP(1500 watts) powered by 2 -12 inch Kenwoods and then finished off with a Kenwood Head unit.

Fall '06-I then add some vinyl to be like my brother's ZX2 and then I have the keeman intake. Followed after that I get the Pacesetter exhaust.

Fall '06 continued-
I get stupid curbed and messed up rims from a honda civic buddy

January-February 07- I get my 4-2-1 header and some time after that i acquire an AEM CAI from a hyundai Tiburon.

Then for a while i stayed Ricer and rocked out with my ghetto lift and let my high school gf's take me over.... Oh and i tint out my tails sometime later.


January 08'- I get a set of S/r struts and drop my car 2 inches on megan racing springs and then i do my own A/c Delete and then install my Esslinger UDP and then the Accord Mirrors

Then I rattle can the front because i cracked it at the show and IDC about using my good paint on a shitty bumper.

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/xmbreezy/0620082208.jpg

Then me and my dad install the side skirts and rear bumper

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/xmbreezy/0623081214.jpg

Then I hack my exhaust and roll around with just a 4-2-1 header and a spun cat into a cherry bomb glass pack which is directly under the middle of the car(loud)

And here I am now...

Im still waiting for the car to get painted some...

Plan-
Turbo'ed with as much boost as my tiny turbo can handle.
Built block, PnP head, SCT Xcal and blah blah blah. Planted with a MSP LSD.

Compressor side looks adequete but the turbine side looks super itty bitty.

It's my "break the engine in turbo". I know i already want more boost then what that thing will give.

Last time I was at the junkyard in Piscataway there was a turboed Volvo IIRC that still had everything in it. Dunno if you'd be interested. I think there were a couple turbos lying around

I also got that turbo for free. I love it when my sister's bf's try to bribe me.. haha


Thanks matt, i'll keep that in mind. I believe on of my friends have a spare t3 for me. :) .

As for it not being a sleeper anymore.. it will be once i get it turbo'd. With all the rice in my area... NO ONE WOULD exspect it.

The Borla still isn't installed, i've been too lazy... But i did manage to break a few things...

I cracked the front in the beginning of june and i finished it off the week of the 7th at the county fair!
http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/xmbreezy/0806082221.jpg

No fear!!!! It works for Nascar and ZX2's!!! It will be fixed to perfection come the next couple of weeks when the ZX2 gets painted. 200 mph tape ftw!!!
http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/xmbreezy/0806082225.jpg

Oh and also i broke my other sway bar endlink.

Your kit kinda looks a bit strange. Like it's flexing outward or something. But paint looks awesome

ZX2 Sleeper
09-15-2008, 08:46 PM
That's fiberglass for ya!But it's also been off the car for 2 weeks so therefore it has all this time to lose it's shape. If that makes sense. Matt when are you giving me your bumper. Lol, this bumper is too pretty to see snow!!! EVER!

AZN_ZX2
09-15-2008, 08:49 PM
I'll give it to ya when I get enough money for a new one lol

ZX2 Sleeper
09-15-2008, 08:52 PM
lol. that's not right. If your short $50, i'll pay pal it to ya when you go to buy a new one.

AZN_ZX2
09-15-2008, 08:57 PM
You are going to be paying me $75 for the old bumper. But an extra $50 is cool

yeah, we both have the same exact crack. My dad was cursing when he was fixing the bumper. He reinforced the problem areas to prevent future cracks and now it looks PERFECT! The bumper looks 10 times better now that it is painted with nice paint. Next i have to ask my dad to buff/polish the existing paint because it needs some TLC!

This is only temporary as i wait to finish doing the clear corner/blacking out of my spare headlights. The current headlights are misaligned, but will be for sale SOON!

Factory fiberglass is pretty weak. But if you fix it up right, there should be no worries.

Your license plate is crooked. Looks bad. :D

The rest of the car looks good. Not my favorite kit but at least the vinyl stage is in the past. ;)
