Hey... anyone modding there Z's?

UNKNOWN_370 · 05-12-2011, 11:55 PM

In recent weeks the chatter of comparisons to other cars has increased 200%, while actual Z only threads have decreased by 90%. I was just wondering if anyone has modded, tracked, or is doing anything bodywise or mechanically to there Z.

Me i have been at the track getting the best stock times possible. So far I got 13.03. It was 77 degrees 15% humidity on a clear sunny day at around 11 am. My engine was at 170 degrees

My first mods will be upgrading my sport brakes, along with stillen intake and FI cat pipe.

Nope. Everyone is keeping their Z's stock. Modding is so yesterday.

Hambone1 · 05-13-2011, 01:23 AM

Wait, they make mods for Z's?

waaaasabi · 05-13-2011, 01:49 AM

They definitely make mods for Mustangs.

On a serious note, nice time OP. congrats.

My Z has never seen the rear of a stang.

After 14 months of ownership I am about to cross the 5000 mile mark and the modding shall begin. Called yesterday to book dyno time for a baseline pull and then the CNT high flow cats are going on and we will do another pull to check the increase.

Thinking Stillen G3 is the next mod.

Do us all a favor and close this thread.

Oh I know we can talk tech in the tech side. But I just want to bulls**t about our Z's. Anything I don't care if u r putting new scent in your car. Let's just talk about our Z's for a change. Lmao.

Leave mustangs for the mustang forum.

Kool beanz... Z1 motorsports has the G3 intakes with color powdercoats and matching silicone hoses. I'm definately going that route. I want red and blue mix in the engine while my exterior is silver. I think it will look kool.

I got the Fast Intentions CBE just about a month ago and loving it.

Told myself nothing the first year but that lasted long. Besides come cosmentics like the EVO R CF Fangs and GTR push start...nadda.

I think the next thing I would do is the HP MAF hoses and K&N drop in's as I'm worried about loosing low end torque

Nice times....I really need to work on my launch and granny shifting...I'm in the 14's for some reason

Leave mustangs for the "other vehicles" section of the forum.

Fix'd.

I spent a few grand on mods in my Z back in the day. Even overnighted a few lugnuts from Fontana Nissan.

Silly question on the GTR push start. Does it light up at night like the stock push button?

The text lights up.

It's really sweet. Looks sharp and it feels better. The kind of metallic red color is "high class" and it feels a lot better to the touch than the milky white stock button, which is very generic and somewhat cheap feeling. For $35 or so and 10 minutes of your time to install it makes a BIG difference!
