Yeah it's crazy, I saw his receipt from Cartoys and it was for $15,000 even - roughly $3K for his navigation setup. However the $1,200 Sony deck had some issues and so he gave me a nice Alpine instead (not sure on cost, was told to get better need to spend $1,000 bucks for sound quality wise). But overall I think I'm still getting a deal out of that. Everything is professionally done and looks simply unbelieveable (at least to me, I never imagined having something like that hehe).
But yeah when I test drove it, everything seemed smooth as slik. The clutch has an outstanding feel to it. Much better than the 300ZX's clutches I've driven on. So everything looks fine with the car, he gave me 7 days to test the car for any problems, if anything found he'd fix.
But anyway, thats a good idea about the car shows! I kinda asked him about it too and he showed me some of the stuff he's won, needless to say I was impressed.
But I'm a total n00b when it comes to that... where can I find them or info on when they occur? I want to drop a few grand into the car this summer and if I can enter these car shows, maybe that will pay for the car, lol.
Another thing I need actually though is a catback exhaust system. I was under the impression it's a compelte system, but it turned out that only the muffler was replaced. And speaking of which, it's kinda ugly I think personally. So I'm replacing it and wondering if I should go with a complete system in this case and if so, which? If I go to car shows, does the judge(s) care which I use (custom or name brand?)? I will probably enter for audio, but again I have no clue if they inspect the whole car or how that works, etc.
Well thanks for the tips so far, lets keep them coming please.
PS: I'm looking for a fairly mild to quiet exhaust as this one in it is loud and my last ride had insanely loud one and I'm tired of that. Also the larger the piping, the heavier it would have to be right? This exhaust here on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33630 looks very interesting, 3" pipes, looks high quality and looks like it has a resonator or whatever you call it in the center (yes I'm a n00b, go easy on me).
