Stopping the mods...

RoshDawg · 10-01-2013, 11:47 PM

I only stop modding when I think I'll be selling the car soon. But not once do I wish I bought a luxury or hybrid car like some of the posts in this thread. Besides making my gf and I comfy, sports cars are the main reason I work. Maybe I have some problem where reality won't set in for me, but luckily I have never fell into any sort of financial trouble because of it.

Ah shut up! You're so ******* annoying!

Interesting perspectives. Glad I'm not the only one. And it's not that I lose interest in the car itself - just in modifying it. Like I'd love to do some of the CF interior trim, but then I think, 'Well, I could take that $500 & do something else.' Where if I did it when I first got the car I wouldn't have give it a second thought.

I just wanna see what the next gen z will look like/be. Then I'll probably fall in love with it and save up money/ stop modding.

I've had mine for 3 years. I am actually more in love with my Z now than I was when it was brand new. My level of interest in my previous cars definitely had the opposite trend.

I haven't really done much since I got a tune and some new front rotors and pads and some laps at the track back in June. However, a recent thorough detailing and a TWM short shifter install last weekend, has got me going again. RJM clutch pedal assembly is next on the list

(too bad I think it's going to be Christmas before I get it

)

Regardless of mods, we've put over 40K miles on the Z, enjoying every minute. The Z is my cup of coffee every morning

Couldnt agree more! While i wish to go out and buy all types of cr*p for my Z, i cant because of other priorities and expenses. Detailing the car myself has definitely help me from going bankrupt, although some moolah is slowly being saved up on the side

For me modifying its a hobby, automobiles in general are a passion. Will i get tired of modding? Maybe. Will I lose interest in nice cars in general? Hell no.

I guess i just have a more "OEM" taste where The only parts I care about changing are pretty much just wheels and exhaust and a drop. The rest I don't really care too much, just as long as my Z is unique than another Z on the road im good.
