No it Was a Twin Turbo. the car came from Japan with an aftermarket bumper that was all broken because the Tein Coilovers were on their lowest setting. I scored an NA bumper for free(that was already silver) so I threw that on there,raised the suspension and rocked it that way until I sold it.

notice the turbo timer on the dash.

Yeah, except this douche in a red Ferrari 360 keeps following me and climbing into the passenger side and bitching about it not having a gated manual.....

Hell yeah! RHD all the way! It can be handy if you decide to be a rural mail carrier.

That's what I was referring to since the 300ZX TT still isn't 25 years old which means having one in the US is impossible. Unless you are in Canada.

it was actually better to drive in every way other than turning left at a light or passing on a undivided highway. It just feels way more natural driving on the right side.

oh yeah drive thrus suck as well.

Pro tip: WD-40 is a great way to remove Plastidip. Soak it, wait a bit, and scrub. Works wonderfully.

Looks way better de-dipped.

There's a product called Tire Wet, I fairly certain they sell it at Walmart. Spray it on the wheels for about 5 minutes then wipe it off with a microfiber cloth.

Shouldn't. I tried to dip the cowl of my hood, and that was my method of removal. I tried multiple times, and the paint came out just fine.

Here’s the cheapest Place to get the Plasti-Dip type paint. They have it for $55 a Gallon which as you know is $20 cheaper than Plasti-Dip. I’ve Dipped a lot of cars in my shop with Plasti-Dip and Plasteke is actually a better quality of paint. Plus the rectangle cans are so much easier to handle and the shipping package is smaller.I even signed up as a Certified Plasteke Shop and now they send me a bunch of business. Call 720-515-4003 and Dan will hook you up but tell him JP sent you.
