My dilemma: (I really want a TT for my car, but then, who wouldn't )

1) I have the tools and ability to install this, but I probably really need a lift and bigger garage.

2) Time is an issue, besides the fact I DD the Z, at least for now.

3) Its a little more challenging to crawl under, over and around cars.

4) The time to trailer/ship/drive the car to Tony to have them install the kit, the exhaust, then tune the car. (Yeah, I know "first world problems" )

5) I can't find the price of the kit on the FI website. I know it's there, I found it before.

6) I probably should have the clutch, pressure plate & flywheel (and CSC) changed at the same time....

I vaguely remember what the cost of the kit was, and I have an approximate idea of the cost of the exhaust. The only thing(s) missing are the cost of install, the tune and the length of time the car will be there. Tony, if you got a spare few minutes...

Important details:
2012 base, 6MT 31k miles (at this moment)

$20k installed with tune/clutch upgrade. $25k if you get carried away with the options or the 'since I was in there upgrades'

That's insane! I sure hope the motor is built for that amount of money. I can't imagine investing that kind of money into a $25,000 car and then something going south.

Who paid $25k for their car. Mine, given its a G but the appropriately equipped Z sport package is the same, cost over $40k

Pretty sure they are talking about used J. I'm at $44k for mine, $50k if you include tax. After another $25k on the kit, I'm at used GTR prices damnitt.

Agreed with what TerribleONE said

The great part about Fast Intentions, they have an ala carte menu of additional upgrades/options!

It's funny that everyone that wants the kit and has pretty much made up their mined ask this same question. I think what they are asking us is....20k is a lot of money and is it really worth it!!! And the survey says...hell yeah! If you are not putting yourself in a financial bind, drop the cash and don't look back. Boost on....

I found the prices, it's not on the website, it's here on the forum.... at the beginning of the thread... now I kinda feel stupid....


The prices everyone has quoted is in the ballpark of what I expected to spend, considering I'm keeping the car for a long time. The challenge is all the other details; getting the car to Cali (best way, w/the least chance of damage), do I get a cheap junker to drive till the Z is ready to be picked up... and I intend to drive it home.. and the host of little bitty details that drive me nuts.



Thanks to jwick, TerribleONE, Hotrodz and the others for their input and the awesome threads they put up about their cars, it makes the decision easy to go boosted. I hate to bother Tony with this, considering I'm probably 6 months out from pulling the trigger on it and knowing he's busy up to his eyeballs. I'm sure he wouldn't mind, it's my 'I hate to ask silly questions' issue..
