Not my cup of tea personally but that is your deal...

My choices would be:

Enthusiast model 350Z with zero options - $29,000
Yokohama A032R or Toyo RA-1 tires 245/50-17 all around - $600
StopTech 332mm front brake kit - $2000
Track front and rear pads (Performance Friction or Porterfield) - $200
Front brake ducting (extra cooling) - $50 (homemade)
Adjustable anti-roll bars (get rid of that nasty understeer) - $300-500
Harnesses - Already got them in current car

Total about $32K
Substantially faster lap times than your overweight bling-bling machine- Priceless

After a season or two, I'll get a cage and some decent coil-overs... Maybe get some proper seats and drop 200lbs by ripping out the A/C, radio, soundproofing, other useless junk, etc...

a few things, go ahead and do a custom turbo, a good shop can do it, and do a damn good job of it. then how bout a programmable ECU, I know there isnt a chip for the Z, but I thought programmable ones worked on any car, you just have to tune it. not sure.

anyway the last thing you missed was a second set of all that send over to my house.

Default SkiDaZZle, did you install the INJEN yet?

I'd like to see a picture of it because I have a DB 350, and I want to see how the blue INJEN looks in the car, thanks!

i did this on my subaru. a lot of work, but well worth it. below is a pic of the engine bay... that intercooler was made by spearco per my instructions.. i miss that car.

i think i will wait for a pretty much done kit... although the thought has crossed my mind to drop the car off at one of many top notch speed shops here in TX...

Sorry Skidazzle what I meant by Performance Parts, was meaning toward HP (Power upgrade). My fault for not being clear. I know a lot of Power upgrades are not out yet, just was metioning it for future upgrades.

Do you really think you got a much better car now? It's your money and time great job, but $100,000 you probably could have gotten a much faster and better handling car. Nice down payment on a Modena.
