Default Your summer modding plans

We are well into modding season and I know I've been collecting parts left and right. Be realistic here, what do you plan on doing to the Z this summer? This is my list:

Get my Crawford Headers jethot coated + installed
JWT Clutch/Flywheel
Maybe replace current exhaust setup w/ SVRTech 2.5" dual
Innovate Wideband LC-1 w/ gauge
Alpine IVA-W200 w/ backup camera and iPod adapter
Replace blown sub w/ JL 10w6v2-D4

Sounds like a pretty decent list to me.

my mod wish list for this summer:
- shift **** (not sure which one)
- exhaust (something that gives me the most performance gains)
- LEDs for front and back
- light blue Xenons
- overlays for headlights, taillights, side reflectors, rear lights

any suggestions for the above?

SVRTech 2.5' exhaust (ordered, waiting on shipment :-D )
Shift ****, Nismo GT ****
Short shifter, Mossy Performance Shifter
Wheels, Work Emotion or ROJA P45R, gunmetal or black.
Varis CF Air duct
Varis CF B-pillar
Veilside V1 CF lip (mebe?)
MAYBE (since i live in jersey with bad roads), a mild drop.

Expensive, purposely getting CF to save on paint :-D.

I had a Greddy Evo 2 exhaust on my 05, it was lightweight compared to stock and i immedietly felt a power gain as soon as i shifted from 1st to second, its very quiet compared to say HKS, topspeed....going to meets, nismo exhausts seem louder than my greddy but very comparable in sound, the greddy is deep with a quiet tone, but can be made loud with test pipes. I had a black aluminum nimso shiftknob on the 05 as well and it felt great, i got as much compliments on the size of the shift **** as my car.

Shiftknob wise, I like the GT since it looks comfortable. A few people actually switched TO GT from other nismo ones cause it was more comfy and better.
The CNC one by Forged Internals is cool too.

It is a proven fact that writing down goals helps people take the steps necessary to achieve them. So, STFU.

Actually, I was thinking of HKS Hi-Power Ti Dual exhaust but I'm pretty sure, there are better ones that give you better gains. (I want something that gives you the most rwhp)

Shift ***** are so expensive for no reason.. Nismo ones do look nice though.

BTW, where in Texas are you? There's a meet June 3rd, if you'd like to join us. Check the Texas forums for more info.

So you're saying the HKS Hi-Power Ti True Dual exhaust is absolutely the best in terms of giving you the most performance gain (i.e hp & tq)? If that's the case, I'm all over that.... as soon as I get the money..

A built shortblock to go with the turbo setup and install my Utec that ive had forever.... and put the PSI at 13 the main reason is because my piston rings are F*cked up.... not because i want more hp.

I'm modding my bank account so it actually grows!

I'm done for now! My car is such a gold digger!
