I'm new to ZHP, car is not

Hello everyone, I'm Dustin. I'm a certified master technician for Mercedes-Benz and currently in school to finish my Mechanical Engineering degree. I just bought my 2003 Zhp Imola sedan in New York yesterday and promptly drove it back down to GA. Nice little 810 mile trip to get to know her. Great experience so far. She needs some little things fixed here and there but I can't complain. The guy I bought the car from found it on this forum when he bought it. Not sure who the previous owner was but I am greatly appreciative of the records they kept. The car was well sorted out years ago with subframe mount reinforment and all sorts of other things that I would have wanted done. The car came with extra suspension(which I plan to run) and another set of rims with snow tires(which I have no use for and will be selling). I look forward to learning more and applying knowledge from my other projects. I've been building a street legal pro am prepped 240sx with a 5.3. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...006dde90db.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7967474ab3.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0c8fd3c9d9.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c0a03b056a.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...96545bdb72.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...eae78bfc4c.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...61f6427cf5.jpg

Welcome! Maybe a longer-timer here will recognize the car/previous owner. Good luck on your plans for the Nissan & ZHP, as well as your degree.

I don't believe he was a member, but he did buy it from a member a few years ago. Yeah I like the mirrors, they just need new glass.

Awesome. So cool to see that these cars sometimes remain in members hands. I have my mirrors boxed up and ready to ship to nextelbuddy, who is the resident m3 mirror guru.

Love the gloss black wheels btw

Honestly I don't know who makes them. Car came like that. I can take a look for a manufactures mark when I take on out.

Welcome. Good choice with the Imola.

Also there is a growing amount of members recently from Georgia.
