Default I'm out of ideas?

What mods?Ok so I'm sure I can always use the search button...but whatever...anyway i'm out of modding ideas.Heres the thing,I don't want to do a turbo because its too damn expensive and i've got f*&*ing bills to pay off first. Don't want to do headers or cams...yet.I've got an intake exhaust and a plenum spacer already installed in the car.

My question is this...what else can I do that's actually worth it as far as modding is concerned, I can't think of anything right now. Any suggestions?

P.s. I can't stand the sound of test pipes so that's out as well...for now

cuz TT's are not out of the question in the Z's future, and cams might just open up a whole can of worms I'm not ready for. Especially with this nice 7 yr warranty I have

or some appearance mods if you want that will also lose you some weight so u will accellerate/brake a little better (cf hood, lighweight wheels etc etc)

crank pulley...how much, and this doesn't add power but reduces rotational weight?or they are just a smaller diameter over the stock pulleys?

also is there a "chip" for our cars...?its a question I get all the time from people curious about my car...i just tell them we have fuel managment upgrades

oil pan spacer or a bigger oil pan and oil cooler. helps your engine keep cool and hopefully live longer.

A lot of mods are pretty expensive for the car. Might as well use your extra doh to pay off your bills early and then think of mods after you're all done But this is very hard to do if you've already been bitten by the mod bug.

wow.. I have never seen a blatant violation of the TOU. Really.. use the search.

7.) SEARCH FUNCTION
Please use the search function before posting or asking a question. It is a much more efficient and quicker way of getting your question answered. Another reason is to reduce the amount of duplicate posts and to conserve some server space.

8.) MEANINGLESS POSTS
Do not post any meaningless, roll call posts, or any posts that is a waste of server resources and bandwidth. They are not allowed and will result in your post count being set to zero and the possibility your account being banned. Select forums (i.e. Anything Goes) and select threads may be alloted for "post whoring," but the posts from such threads will (and the threads themselves may) be purged from time to time.

This topic has been beaten to death on this forum. I vote for thread closure.

Two mods in two years? You have been short on ideas for a long time.

OOO Relax drama queen no one else had a problem with it...its not like I'm asking " which intake, pop charger or injen", I'm asking for opinions about ideas I might have missed along the way...theres only so much s***t to talk about with the Z anyway, this is a forum. If you don't like my thread you can always get lost

P.S. I vote for you as a new mod since you seem to act like one,unless you already are one then ...keep up the good work
