New owner in need of assistance
#21
I should listen to someone else's tastes because he's been on an internet forum for a long time? No thanks. I appreciate the help. I understand that it's a wide car, and I like the look of the wide kits. Muzzy and (spelling. bmcumccm or something alone the lines, don't quite remember) have/had this kit on, and it looked amazing. I appreciate advice and actual help, but telling me not to do something because you think I'll **** it up, or because you don't like it isn't how to help someone.

bmccann is sponsored by a lot of companies so I couldn't give you the price he spent, but to get a car to look like his is going to be 10-15k just in body work. A wide body car is really only for show cars or people with a ton of money. If you want aggressive, check out the amuse kits or the V2 and V3 nismo kits.

Also having a passenger window motor issue as of recently so that's no fun. But I washed her up today and waxed so ill check out kits more tomorrow. Thanks for the advice (everyone who wasn't a ****.)
Edit - this one seems reasonable. http://intensepower.com/sovabokit35.html

I never had the opportunity to drive stick. Nobody drives where I'm from and as soon as I turned 17 I joined the military. I've tried to learn in the past but things always come up. I'll be learning again soon from someone in order to ride a bike.
People that think they're better because their car is standard are pathetic. Yes, I'd like to drive stick because it's more enjoyable of a driving experience. Yes, it's better gas mileage and lasts longer. No, I don't have the ability to right now. Does that make you cooler? Nope.

Starting to rethink the wide. While I do love the look, I'll probably have to wait for awhile down the road until I understand wheel/tire size and depth/tilt etc. also no reason to go killer while the engine is still stock. I have fully decided against ED kits. Ill probably get a modest kit and have it painted pearl white to match. Next step is intake, (plenum spacer or something. Have to look into it more,) and exhaust. My exhaust is pretty rusted.

As mentioned by me and others, throw a simple body kit on it (bumper, rear and sides) some nice wheels and your basic bolt ons. Once you get a different daily driver, build the Z into your dream car. It may never happen, if it does you will have a lot easier time selling it without a wide body kit on it.

Most/if not all of the nice wide body cars that are built are not daily drivers. If you look at the daily driven wide cars they are usually pieced together by someone that does not have the budget to do it right. I'm actually not a fan of either of the mentioned, Brian's IMO is the nicer of the two but Muzzy's has some awesome detail work. Both of those cars have well over $40k into the build.

He thinks he's cool because he spent more money on his car, that's fine. I don't mind blocking him and carrying on with my life.
