    Drove from central PA to New Jersey to check out the car for the first time, found it listed on Craigslist a few days before. Wasn't even looking for a ZHP, when I first saw the ad I was intrigued but not looking to move into a different car at the time so thought nothing of it. Sure enough the next day it was all I could find myself thinking about so I contacted the seller and arranged a time to see the car. 3 days and a PPI later and I was back in Jersey to pick her up!

    Looks terrific! Nice write up. Where did you purchase your smoked side markers? I'm looking for similar.

    Thanks, right now she passes the 10 foot rule for the paint but I hope to correct that soon . As for the side markers, I got them from Khoalty. They look terrific but I find that the passenger side marker always pops out when I drive at high speeds which is really starting to get quite annoying and looks bad when I pull into a gas station and get out of the car to see my side marker hanging down!

    Nice, you purchased yours the same day I purchased mine.

    You have a solid list of maintenance and mods going for you. Good stuff!

    Ain't that the truth.

    What year did you get yours? I'm hoping I'm all caught up on maintenance now so I can start spending money on fun stuff like headers and a tune 🏻!

    I got mine on 03/26/2015. Loved it ever since.

    I'm excited to see what mods you do.

    Had my Indy diagnose my brake shuttering/vibration at highway speeds and it certainly wasn't what I expected. Some bearing in the steering column (the upper U joint or something like that) has play in it causing the problem, ~$500. I can't seem to find any DIY's on this so I may just have to hand it over to my Indy.

    "Boss ZHP" Maintenance/Project Thread

    Posted the ZHP for sale last week but just found out I'll be leaving the country in 2 weeks so my M3 plans have to be put on hold. So why not mod the ZHP a bit? Ordered a Vibrant Performance muffler on the recommendation of Bryant (FL116), going to remove the second resonator as well. Also popped in a new drivers window switch, old one broke on me. Love the feel of the new buttons
