The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXIX

bunk

Any mod'ed car would be sold at a loss though. But for what he spent is a bit over the edge.

That assumes the buyer knew the car was once modded, and that the mods were bought at list price, not removed or resold.

True. I know that with body mods, youd look for missing paint on bolts, fitment issues, paint mismatch etc... what would the signs be for performance/engine mods?

Easiest one to spot would be the holes cut (enlarged) for aftermarket intakes. Otherwise, most bolt-ons don't leave a lot of indicators.

I know that for the next one, I'm getting an oil cooler. I'm not sure about the Stillen G3s, but I suppose that if I'm going to take the bumper off to install the oil cooler, I might as well do the CAI AND a better horn.

I passed on the G3 because after installing the oil cooler, I didnt want to fiddle with trying to stuff the CAI in there. Alot of people said the stock air boxes are more than adequite, so spending the extra 500 didnt seem reasonable. But definately yes on the oil cooler! I was regularly seeing my oil temps get to 240-250 even with moderate driving in 80 degree temps. Now I've yet to see it over 220

That's what I did. Installed both at the same time, plus the power steering cooler.

That's why you buy a CAI used for $300. Sure, the stock boxes are "adequate" in that they supply enough air for the engine to run, but they certainly aren't more than adequate, or you wouldn't make any gains by going CAI, and every dyno ever done shows gains.

also the heat.

long tube intakes lower the air temp going into the engine.

Yeah to a point but it’s whole different level when your mid total is the price of the car.
