New SoCal 370z owner

igbad · 06-10-2013, 11:48 AM

hello everyone, i'm a former 2004 sti, then onto a beater, then now a 370z owner, which was purchased two days ago. it's a 2012 base model used with 16k miles. got a great deal on it, and couldn't be happier with the purchase (although it's kind of messing up the disposable income at the end of the month...).

what are, in your opinion, the best bang-for-your-buck upgrades? i really want to get the akebono big brake kit and maybe an intake for the time being.

thanks!

Welcome and congrats on your purchase, we've gained another former Subaru customer

On the upgrade side, you are better in searching the forum and look at videos for exhausts, (and maybe go to a meeting) as best upgrades are usually very biased.
