Hey guys,

My name is Tristan and I'm from the west suburbs of Chicago

I bought my imola on alcantara ZHP with 122k miles back in July for a steal since the PO didn't know much about it. He took good care of it, but never really changed anything preventatively, so I've been trying to catch up on all the maintenance.

Sunroof delete and no cold weather package

So far I've changed the:
VCG
Intake boot
OFHG
Shocks and mounts
Rear sway bar bushings and links
Fuel pump
Shift knob
Belts and pulleys
and some other small stuff

As soon as it warms up, I'll be doing:
FCABS (probably going Z4m offset, does anybody have any experience with these?)
Vanos seals and rattle kit
Cooling system overhaul
Coby wheel rewrap
and a full paint correction (PO loved the automatic carwash)

I don't have any recent pics since the weathers been bad, but here are some from when I bought it:

Welcome! Excellent color choice BTW. :cheers I believe that Hermes is running the Z4M Offset FCABS. I know that we have a couple of threads running as to which ones everyone likes/doesn't like.

Welcome to the Family! You have my new (second) favorite Mafia ZHP: to-die-for color combo, correct number of pedals, doors, and sunroofs! :rofl Seriously though, congrats on picking up a rare ZHP indeed! :roundel

Nice to meet another local. I'm in Evanston, formerly Glenview. Ryan (ryankokesh) used to be in Schaumburg but now he went back to Hoosierville. Let us know if you need a hand, Ryan is my maintenance bitch (don't worry he likes it).

Love the imola. ;)
