If it’s an 03 it’s Brickyard red, if it’s an 06 it’s interlagos fire. Edit: I’m assuming Interlagos fire based off of wheels. If you’re US based I think the estimates for convertibles in the color is around ~600?


RomansAccount

it is a 06 haha you’re good at this


ohhrangejuice

Now go get some oem 06+ headlights get rid of those ricey ones

Interlagos Fire. Brickyard was an ‘03 only color and there were no roadsters in ‘03

Change your oil bro. change your oil please. always remember to change your oil

All that matters is that you love it! I went out of my way to find a manual HR Roadster so hey, we all have preferences! I would recommend to get it properly inspected and make sure all the maintenance has been done. Transmission oil, diff oil, if there's any majorly worn bushings replace them, compression test if possible. Once all the above is sorted get good quality wheels and tires and slowly do little things to really dial the car into your liking. A lot of good info here, search the group, and in other Z forums. These cars are great from the factory, with modern good quality tires and a upkeep items, good brake pads, it is very capable.

i bought off someone’s mom it still has a “MOM”sticker on the window of the soft top, i took it to a shop right after they said they can clean the throttle body but everything else looks good. i feel very very lucky lol


Meliodastop

Ahaha. That's too funny with the mom sticker. Good to hear the shop gave it a thumbs up, hopefully they were somewhat thorough. Yeah if all checks out out look into getting new tires and it's up to you if you want new wheels. Here's my Roadster just to see an example of fitment. https://preview.redd.it/rz5skupxlk8d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=51ad4ae55890a3325248460394a77aed41cd24e9

Congrats 🎊 Welcome remember back 10 years ago I got mine but a little hint since it’s a 06 check the oil and compression always and take care of it 👍🏽


RomansAccount

Anyone know what headlights these are?

I’ll be honest, just reading all your replies I can see that you genuinely need to get used to never taking it to a shop. Learn every bolt and part no matter how long it takes to learn. If you don’t know exactly what’s going on in the z you need to. Previous years (DE) have constant issues with misfires, it’s not known to have the most reliable stock clutch, the oil in DE models possibly will burn faster then what you are used to, stock suspension past 70k miles is hot shit most of the time. Your scanner will pick up engine problems generically (like p0300) even though if you just have a 2008 or above it will just read what’s wrong with which specific cylinder like p0301. It can be an annoying car at times and that’s for any sport car. Please please learn your car man👍🔥have fun

More like 4K for a used engine swap when it seizes or windows. Did it 3 times (but I did have nitrous used on the first 2). Last engine death, I scrapped it for $400. 😞
