I don't know if it's getting used to the car, the warmer weather, or starting quicker from a stop, but I've noticed the lack of initial throttle response in first. This is one of the things I liked the least the first time around but I hadn't really noticed it much until the past week, or so. Now, I have to decide the following:
- Do I want to preemptively get one of the aftermarket options for the weak CSC? It's got 77k miles so it's possible this has already happened.
- Do I want to get the RJM clutch pedal?
- Do I want to get an oil cooler? (spirited drive this weekend at ~65*F ambient and oil temps went to ~220*F)
- Do I want to get a remote tune by Seb? If so, off-the-shelf or custom?
- Do I want to get the windows retinted due to peeling at the corners of the front windows, or wait until it gets worse?
- Do I want to get an unlimited car wash package?

You want the ZSpeed CMAK kit. get a new clutch/flywheel while you're at it. It's such a great kit and you never worry about blowing the CSC again.
You want the RJM clutch pedal, 100%. Completely changes your driving dynamic.
You absolutely want an oil cooler; it's usually the first mod people do to their Zs.
You can't live without a tune from Seb. I've driven the Z on OEM map (to pass emissions) after Seb tuned my Z, and it was a universe of difference.
