Being Italian and being an expert in Olive oil, I can confirm it's the placebo effect

There are already a LOT of threads about mods on this site. Drivetrain, exterior, audio, the list goes on and on. Pics, vids, DIYs. Scan through those and see what catches your eye.

I don't like this site's search function, so I go to one of the major web search engines and add "site:the370z.com" to my search string.

I am sure threads like this exist all over this forum, but imo each Z is unique,

you should start a build thread instead ?

I couldn't see pics of your car when I first posted, but now that I have, and you mentioned you have a few thousand to spend, I suggest getting the Sport Akebono BBK. Of course, you could always go with a different and more expensive brand if you want.

First and foremost mod: learn how to drive her. Know her limits and acclimate as you progress in power.

Before any significant power adder you should probably upgrade the brake pads. Do some research here and come up with a conclusion. There are plenty of threads on this.

If you're just going to "pretty her up" with makeup and drive her as a cruiser then it's whatever.

The first modification of any new Z owner is to master the search function of this forum. Seriously.

However, wheel spacers, a CAI, sway bars and 60mm CBE run a close second.
