Hello,
Car History: I am the 4th owner of this lovely Imola ZHP, its basically loaded with a bunch of features from the factory. The car came from the factory to California in the Bay Area (I think). The first owner owned the car stock for quite a few years, and then sold to the second owner, who I know nothing about, but the car stayed in California. Next it was sold to a guy named Matt (the person I bought her from) Under His ownership the car lived around the Napa Valley area. He also added some tasteful modifications (listed bellow). Matt moved up to Seattle and brought the car with him, apparently he did not think the ZHP was practical for around here so he was selling it to buy a Subaru. Thats where I came In, and bought up a all around clean and solid ZHP.
Me: I don't know a whole lot about the car, other than what I read on forums, but their is loads of information about these cars on the internet. I am willing to do things on my own, but have not really done anything on the mechanical side yet, because of lack of experience. Anyways, here I am, this will consist of fairly simple updates, and picture updates primarily.
Specs:
- 2004 Imola Red ZHP 6 speed
- Odometer when bought: 98,XXX
- Leather Schwarz Interior w/ Silver Cube trim
- Cold Weather Package (includes heated seats - nice in the winter up here)
- Factory Nav Unit
Previous Owner:
- AFE Intake
- Shark injector Tune
- BC Coilovers
- M3 Rims (apparently the originals were cracked - Looking to get CSL Reps)
- Custom Exhaust, strait pipe, muffler Delete
- Yellow fog lights
- Multi Color LED Angel eyes (far left dimming issue)
My progress/Maintenance:
8/2014:
- Water Pump & Coolant Reservoir
- Silly M Badge Removal
9/6/2014:
- Aux Cord Install
- New Headlight Covers
- Fixed Angel Eyes (Still finicky)
