I just bought a '10 370Z in blue and fell in love. Still new to having a nice car and barely know anything when it comes to cars so I am hoping to gain some knowledge from this forum on what I should do with my car. As I said, I just bought this car less than two months ago and all I have done since then is installed a R2C cold air intake and had the windows tinted 35% all around (oh and ordered a Fast Intentions exhaust

).

here is a quick picture of my baby:

So other than what I have done to the car, anyone have any suggestions on what I should do next? And sorry, a twin turbo is not in the budget

Welcome bud!

There's a few rules n such around the forum, like don't ask what kind of oil. lol... but you won't get banned unless you're a d*ck.

Enjoy the forum, it's a great resource!

Oh, and.... SEARCH.

Go AutoX it. Learn how the car drives, and see what you want to upgrade based on what you want it to do more or less of. It's a whole lot of car right out of the box.

Good choice on the intake

Sounds like you're on the right track with the basic bolt-ons. And Chuck is right: for many people the stock form is more than enough car to get them started

Funny you guys suggest AutoX, I am going to an AutoX even this weekend! Coming from a 2005 Slobalt (Chevy Cobalt) I definitely agree this is more than enough car....no need for a quadturbo and the sort haha.

Though I do think I may be ordering the Eibach lowering springs and sway bars kit.

I've got the Eibach springs. I like them, but the go-to spring here is Swift.
