Show or Go?

TacoZ · 07-17-2009, 07:47 PM

No body kits for me. I love the way it looks stock.

I also agree with FricFrac. I would never use more than 332HP on the road. If I get a twin turbo, it'll just tempt me into stupid illegal "confrontations." The only performance parts I'll get into are exhaust, intake, and header.

Doesn't mean that I don't like variety on other cars. I wouldn't do it to mine but I love seeing everyone else being different.

All my mods will be for performance. I think Nissan did a great job with the styling.

If I wanted show, I would have bought a yellow one.

There's a reason the yellow ones end up on magazine covers.

I see track days in my future, so I'm looking to better brakes than the sport package has, 18" forged track wheels, oil cooler, diff cooler (or a Quaife), and the usual intake, HFC, and CBE exhaust mods. No FI for me. I've been down that route with various Audi's and right now I'm having too much fun with N/A responsiveness.

I like to go for a balanced approach. Some "show" items can be beneficial to "go" like lighter wheels, bigger brakes (gotta stop after you go ya know), and suspension (aka drop) for handling better thus going faster in the turns. Gotta start off with I/E though!

Both for me. I/E/Tune (unless stillen gets off their duffs and releases the SC), suspension, tint, a little ICE, and maybe some wheels. (really like the sport stockers)

Both, but a clean show
