[Official] Which 1st mod(s) for my Z thread.

Red370 · 03-03-2010, 06:29 PM

my question is, who the heck is capable of changing the gear ratios? thats what i wanna know! Sounds like it would decrease mileage/increase oil temps quicker if it was done to a DD.

I had the Stillen CAI first and i loved it and now i have the HFC but i would def have done the HFC first if i could go back but it doesn't matter now

The CAIs really only make more power above 7k RPM so this is not bang-for-the-buck improvement for most people. If we're talking bang for the buck for horsepower, HFCs are your best first move. If you want bang for the buck aesthetics (look and sound) AND horsepower, a CBE is the way to go but will cost you double to quadruple what you'll pay for HFCs.

An oil cooler will make the car sustainably trackable, but I've done multiple track days in cooler weather with no issues (hot days will have you doing cool down laps frequently). Clear bra will protect you from scratches at the expense of looking like you put a condom on your car.

Seriously ... I did tint cus the summer lovin was killing me in my car slowly... once I start my mod frenzy - you can be sure an oil cooler / better tires for my old volks / and a V1 are all i plan on investing in

I say go for the exhaust and hfc's at once as first mod. Sounds better, feels better, and looks better

Yeah, they're on their way via UPS now, ordered both CBE and HFC's from ERZ Performance! They should be installed late next week or early the next! I'll try to get a vid of before and after install for ya'll to check out!

well if your planning on doing multiple mods then i dont see what the big deal of the first one would be. if you are only doing one then maybe coilover or exhaust?

Zsteve · 03-03-2010, 10:07 PM

full exhaust

Chris@FsP · 03-03-2010, 10:13 PM

Exhaust!
