$600-$700 "extra"...what to do?
 

Ok, I'm likely to have an extra $600-$700 tp play with in about a month and I'm trying to figure out what mod todo.

I'm bone stock right now with the exception of the illuminated kick plates.

I was thinking 20 and 25mm H&R spacers, or the Shine Auto front lip... Perhaps get the calipers powder coated by Mike.

What would you all do? Looking for suggestions.

Test Pipes for the power and still have money for the spacers :)






DAN

HFC's :ugh2:

high flow cats, or save a little more for an exhaust

z1 motorsports SS brake lines
Mike to powdercoat your calipers
Motul brake fluid.
z1 motorsports test pipes

shoud be around 750$ (not including shipping/installation!)

A humongous ricer wing and a pair of fuzzy dice for the rearview

Should I also drink an orange Shasta too?:tup:

That or Fanta or Tab cola

Oil cooler and spacers I guess.

Hmm, test pipes and spacers...a little cosmetic, a little power. Interesting option.

maybe a CAI, and tints.

window tints and windshield eyebrow...very simple and makes a drastic improvement! Or go for HFC's

Oops, got the tints already! Sorry, guess I shoulda mentioned that, but when living in Florida it's kinda a prerequisite! :tup:

Hmm, starting to take a look at what the Stillen G3 intakes will run me.

Looks like $549 at Intense Power. Is there a better price out there?
Stillen Gen III Ultra Long Tube Intake Infiniti G37/ Nissan 370Z Coupe {Dyno-proven 18.5 Wheel Horsepower Gain!}: <font color="#ccoooo">FREE SHIPPING</font>

If it runs and looks good, put the money in the bank.

thats not fun. might be good advise, but honestly its such a joy to mod a car. well worth the money.

I vote for HFC (or TP if you like noise) then CAI.

I'd either go Stillen G3's or an oil cooler, since you're in Florida

clear bra.

Yah, I've def thought about the clear but I've got some blemishes to take care of first (not to mention that the clear bra w/installation is going to run me ~$1200).

Can't go wrong with the CNT exhaust.

Wow, that's a killer deal! Thanks for the share!

That's what I said lol. Then I bought one myself.

Oil cooler

*34row oil cooler*

I haven't tracked the car and don't really plan to, so I'm going to see how my temps do. So far I seem to maintain @ ~180°.

How do you manage to maintain 180 in florida? Even during 60-70 degree wheather here in Chicago, I would hit at least 200 and if I am hard on the car then I will see 220-230.

Good question sir! Unfortunately it's one I cannot explain.

get spacers and save up to get a real exhaust if you're doing a catback. :)

broken temp gauge?

Well now you guys have me curious. I'll say this much: my average trip time is ~15 minutes to/from work, so perhaps that is the explanation? I'm going to watch closely Tuesday, because I've got a 1/2 hr trip to Deland to make.

I had my sights pretty much set on the FI with the additional flange to protect the cans from getting scraped.

Yah your oil is not fully warmed up then.

Sounds good. That or the GReddy would be my choice as well if going catback. :)

bumP!

MR Works headlights, such a no brainer.

except for they have pretty much disappeared....

Zing! Yeah I heard they were really not hitting people back on their PMs were they?:icon14:

Talk to me about the advantages of the brake lines and fluid, as I have not done much reading up on this.

Well, you may not really need it unless you track or do alot of really spirited driving.. but.. If your gonna do your calipers you may as well do em at the same time Since you have to bleed your brakes anyway.

But the advantages are mostly better brake pedal feel / consistency.

And again you may not need the motul fluids, but im the kind of person where ive pretty much replaced all my OEM fluids for Redline or Motul.
