Z31

i'm thinking of selling the Z32 to buy my boat (to live on next year), and during the summer, use the summer money to get a Z31T, mostly because it will be a lot easier for me to afford to drive and even UPGRADE a Z31. i'm so exited, i could have a car that i could afford to upgrade. what i've generally found is that Z31 parts are about half the price of Z32 parts. is there anything supprising about the Z31T that anyone can think of to tell me?

what does everyone think of the idea? are performance parts going to stay available? i'm seeing fewer and fewer of the cars and it worries me that the companies may stop making aftermarket parts if no one is buying them.

A boat... like a yacht? ZHag lives on a yacht (well... I think that's the type of boat).

yacht refers more to the quality. my boat wouldn't be considered a yacht. catalina 27.

i like to be alone. boat is good. i like to sail. boat is good. i like to surprise and impress. boat does that too. living on a boat will be f-ing awesome. and, like z-hag says, when **** really hits the fan, i've just got to stock up on food and take off to where ever is calm. i can get out of any situation.

I'm kind of partial, but I feel the Z31 is easier to mod than a Z32. I love the single turbo feeling, you know when it comes in! As far as living on a boat, Uhh I don't know. I have two boats but don't think I would want to live on a boat. But hey its whatever floats your boat! Literally! just my .02 Josh

well i'm definitely sure about the living on the boat part. but i think you're right about the Z31 being easier to mod. it's simpler and cheaper for sure.

lol yeah. but even in sheltered areas around here, 90% of the boats were fine. some of them got elevated up and left on top of docks, but most boats were just fine. as long as you get back in a cove of some type

haha definitely not in an emo way. more in a self sufficient, productive, and simple way. emo would be "everybody hates me so i don't want to curse them with my presence". bad *** is "i don't need anybody, i'm going to live on a boat".

you cant drive to your boat and park it in the garage, unless you like the sailor guy from the simpsons, in the movie he was right up with the rest of the houses

i've really made up my mind about the boat. it's going to be a way better situation for me. i've pretty much got it all lined out already. i found a boat, i got a hold on a place to stay next year, and the car is for sale. it's a done deal once the car is sold. everyone just doesn't like the idea of the boat cause there's more work involved in living and more unpleasantries like pooping in a toilet that isn't already filled with water. i'll get over it. it's worth it to get out of the middle of the city.

If you are looking for injectors, search for INJECTORS: (turbo) http://www.courtesyparts.com/16600-i...ml?cPath=2317&

(non-turbo) http://www.courtesyparts.com/16600-i...ml?cPath=2317&
