Yeah we are the wrong people to ask Tracie With 1100 I would either buy intakes and tune it since you have the exhaust already OR buy some Swift Springs and sway bars. I take it the 1100 budget also includes installation costs since you wont be doing the work yourself?? If its 1100 for parts then you could do springs, sways and an intake Wont see me making any cosmetic recommendations. Im performance all the way

LOL… Ms.Pintsiz725, you miss the Old Fart, do you, eh?


For $1100, you can do intake, HU, rear fog light, illuminate kick-plate, tints… or save it to your Amuse Big A$$ funds. I forgot, does your Z has spoiler? How about custom plate ”traciz" or "trazie"? And use the rest of the changes to become a premium member here so you will have the 35hp-stickers

No, you guys are the RIGHT people to ask. Recommendations on an intake?

Like I said, I'm still on the fence about it, but would love to know how far I could stretch the $ if i decided to.

Hi guys just posted my car in 370Z for sale. I'm selling it so that I might get a ZL1 faster. The dealers just won't give me what this car is worth. Ultimately if ZL1 falls through and I don't sell the Z a SC is in my future. Whooop whoop.

I would say Stillen Gen 3. Other options are the Injen or the new Tadeka intake. All run about the same price, around 500ish. Also keep an eye out in the classifieds for a good deal like you did with your F.I. Intakes can be found in the want ads pretty easy If you really wanna step up the handling Swift springs and Stillen sway bars will only set you back about $600 all together and they make a WORLD OF DIFFERENCE!!! Prob the best mods for the $$$

How about....Stillen Gen III, H&R spacers annnnnnnnd Swift springs? That's about $1100. Of course that's just off the cuff. If you buy used, you can stretch a buck even further!

You have alot of rear wing options. Luckily you can see how they look before buying one. Actually that is true of a majority of mods. You should look under the tech section for any mod your are thinking of.

I like the K&N Short Ram, damn easy to install, decent on gain and nice sounds, only runs about $300ish

HU is audio HeadUnit… make your in car entertainment fxxking more enjoyable. You can opt for those with GPS, a very worthy investment.

I would love better handling! Ever since my last accident, my driving confidence isn't great. I bought a sports car but I'm not really enjoying it just yet.

I would definitely buy used if the condition and price were good. Thanks for the recommendations!

I think I'm OK without a head unit. I don't get the garage most times and don't need to give potential thieves another reason to break in.


All these suggestions are making the money burn a hole in my pocket!
