Trying to find a Imola, Alpine, or Black ZHP with heated seats, full leather, and maybe nav.

Found a great one in Detroit, but he won't answer my calls. Talked to him for like 10minites and he said he would call me back. Guess he doesn't want to sell the car bad enough.

Looking at the Dinan black in cincy tonight. Wish it had heated and leather.

Brooks, Detroit is close enough for me to be able to go take a look if you manage to re-establish communication with him!

Welcome, sweet intro. May I ask what attracts you to the ZHP?

Don't compromise! Buy what you really want, there are plenty for sale out there that tick all the boxes.

I had a IS300 for 4 years and loved it. I have been driving a friends E39 M5 around lately and I decided I wanted something of a blend of the 2. But have to able to haul 4 people around with no problem. So looked at many options and decided a ZHP was the best.

Looks like I found exactly what I am looking for other than heated seats! Southern car too! *fingers crossed*

Then first real mod will be finding a proper LSD to put in the car. Having RWD sports car with out LSD is like having one but. Gets the job done but looks silly trying to do the job right.

Awesome, I knew you were going to mention the IS300 after seeing it in the pics. :p

Very cool. Good luck! Also, I had/am having a good experience with the MFactory Helical LSD, they also do Clutch type as well. You are probably more familiar with them as they definitely seemed more into the JDM world :dunno ? Other companies to check out are Diffsonline, Performance Gearing, Wavetrac..really depends on budget/needs.

Looking more towards a 1.5 way clutch type. I like sliding a lot!
Talked to the bank today and waiting to hear back tomorrow! Booyah!

Now to decide in first mods. Thinking making it a little more sinister looking with RCR LED tails, Smoke front turns and sides, muffler delete with black chrome or satin silver tips, all weather mats, carbon roundel, and Cody Wheel cover with red top stripe. I hope.
