My brother owned a Nice 2000 Zx2, black, white five stars, some sort of subtle bodykit, cold air intake and a ton of other engine mods. By the time he was done with it, the guys who installed better engine parts screwed up (I believe the computer code was tuned wrong or something, but anyways) and it gave him engine ping.
He sold it though. Woulda been a nice keeper for a first car, but that was a pipe dream for me in high school

..Glad I ended up with the Contour isntead, though!
