i had a real simple theme in mind changing just enough to make my Z mine.

like simple exhaust to make it sound like my car, simple visual mods, one simple suspension mod that i thought was missing from the car in stock form.
car runs great on street. wouldnt have it any other way. fast but not too fast, loud but not too loud, sporty looking but just enough to make a slight difference. very subtle mods.

I had to have an oil cooler to go home on a warm day.

I hated the drone of the exhaust after 30 minutes.

It sounded like I was riding on balloons so I changed out the tires.

The coil overs and sway bars are just to get a bit more out a fine car. I got a better ride while still getting handling gains.

The intakes were just for wasting gas as I like the sound coupled with the CBE.

The brake fluid upgrade was simply because I didn't like the way the pedal went all the way to the floor then pump up.

I'm still working on a brake upgrade, we will soon have a report.

Thanks for asking.

There is nothing better than looking at your car that you made a little different than the others

lol!!!

Think the last pair I purchased were the aqua 8's.

There aren't many mods that improve looks, sound, and performance all in 1, so a high quality CBE was a no brainer for me. As for window tint, I just wanted to be able to pick my nose in peace

You gotta flick it somewhere lol

Because I wanted a fun track/ autox car that performed better than stock. It also calms me down and I am in a world of peace when working on cars as a hobby.

Your mods aren't even real...

edconline · 04-02-2014, 11:36 PM

Looks played a large part, as did function/performance. Although in the reverse order, because Function>Form, it's science.

As far as what guided the specific parts I bought when I decided to change something, that was 100% this forum!
