Thread: ZHP Mutt here!

    ZHP Mutt here!

    Hey guys! I've been a lurker for years and I thought I'd finally get more involved in the car community. I reside in Phoenix.

    Here is my '04 black sapphire metallic ZHP sedan that I hoon around in daily.

    I'm very excited to do my first track day in March. I'm also coming up on two years of ownership and I have to say that the E46 has been everything that I expected it to be (which unfortunately also includes a long maintenance list). I've been restoring it and keeping it nearly bone stock, but I plan to sell it around April so that I can move onto an E46 M3 or E92 M3 eventually. Now let's see how many local members I can find!

    She’s looking mighty fine, black on black trim pieces look sweeeet.
    I’ve also kept mine about bone stock as well. Swapped my front control bushings for Poly and they made make a world of difference when it comes to feeling planted, especially when braking.
    We most definitely have to find some more locals for a proper meet! But I’m down for some cruising regardless. Let me know
    Welcome brotha

    Thanks man!

    I went with some stiffer, heavier duty bushings for the control arms as well. I also had the steering coupler replaced since the rubber portion of it tends to wear out. I think the summer heat here speeds up that process as well. I then replaced it a second time with a solid steel coupler since I can't stand any play in the wheel. That's really my only "performance" mod.

    Anyways I'm over in north Phoenix, kind of near the 17 fwy off Union Hills.

    Thanks! These really do look timeless. I found mine with 87k on the clock and I just recently passed 106k.
