I think this weekend looks promising. The front spacers are my last planned mod and I don't know what to do with myself.

hahaha.

ive been finding myself getting more and more lazy about modding too. this is one thing i like about the Z. it runs well in stock form.

i think we should get hitachi to make us some D-specs!!

next season im going to get a nicer HU and speakers.

We need someone to come up with decent aftermarket shocks/dampers for those of us who are not using coil-overs. I read soemwhre that the stock dampers in the 2012 Z's are valved like the Nismos.

Dude -- note the word "planned". I should have said "Phase I planned mods".

I am actually thinking of Phase II, the tentative scope of which is:

Lightweight main pulley (NST or Stillen)
HFC (maybe) I drove Mr. ZForce's Z with the HFCs and it is loud -- a nice loud though.
Silicone coolant hoses (when I do the coolant flush)
ACT or JWT clutch and lighter (not super lightwieght) flywheel
Rear Fog Light
Fuzzy dice
Batman window sticker
Train horn

The last three are optional.

I thought of this one as well, just not sure where to hide the tank and compressor. At 130dba, nobody could use the excuse that they didn't hear your horn.

My thirst for mods cant be quenched. Over the winter, while its off the road, I have plenty of stuff I wanna order.

GTR start/stop
Rear fog light
SS brake lines, fluid, pads
Shift knob
Aftermarket side mirrors
Magnetic differential drain plug
Nav bypass kit

Plus I want more power, Id really love to F.I. I just dont wanna lose reliability though. Im sure I will give into temptation eventually.

I'm with you on this one! I was just thinking the same thing!

Weatherbug is telling me I'm going to have 5 days to motor my Z this weekend and the days off next week. I'm off the entire week next week actually.
