anyone have ideas for little free mods you can do with a Z? anxious to start but have to get that xmas bonus before i can do big things.

 

Go on a diet. It's the cheapest weight reduction method out there. You will save money on food as well. Then you will have more money for real mods.

Remove anything that you can: Spare, Jack, etc.

Seriously though, there really isn't that many free mods for the Z. You gotta pay to play.

 

Ok I got one. It's not exactly free, but it doesn't get much cheaper. I did this on my Spec V a couple of years ago. Get some tint spray paint at your local hobby shop and tint your tails, reverse lights, and front corners. If that's your thing. I haven't decided if I am going to do this myself.

 

My buddy came up with a really cheap mod ($10) .... go to Home Depot ( or any variant) and purchase flexible duct hose. Use it as a homemade ram air system by connecting one end to the air cleaner box and run the other end down into the front of the grille. he got silver tubing which you can see, I am going to look for tubing that is black, or paint it black myself. Just my 2c ( or in this case my $10... )

 

It's a Z.....not a 93 Civic

 

try to get 4 ppl in your ride. it will look lowered

 

Two words....





SPEED HOLES

 

go to home depot and buy a hose connector and make your own coolant bypass. makes the incoming air colder.

Wrap the intake tube with header wrap or insulation wrap (whatever they call it) to isolate it from the heat.

take apart your plenum and clean up all the casting and polish it up, port match the neck

use brake ducting (it is normally orange for some reason) it is a flexible tubing and feed it to your bumper inlet to the snorkel to the airbox.

spraypaint your stock wheels (do a good job... lol)

remove your rear wiper and get a plug (a guy sells painted ones here for 16 bucks or something) that is worth three pounds and looks zexy (more aerodynamic as well!)

use 93 octane if you don't.

these should all be very cheap.

 

Always drive with 1/4 a tank of gas.
Strip down your cars interior.

 

Fill the tires with unobtainium.

 

breathe

 

dont WOT her. Youll save money, gas, and increase mpg.

You can put painters tape on your bumper to prevent chipping. It's not free, but its cheap.

 

^ as a mod to the tape, you can also creaste graphics packages. you want those nismo stripes? easy. signal auto stripe down the side? peice of cake!

and please people, try not to be so stupid?

 

i knew there would be some stupid little things to keep me busy until i can buy the real stuff

 

i would put some fog lights in. I've been wanting to do this, but no garage, incessant darkness and sub-freezing temperatures are preventing me from doing this.

 

oh, theres another good one, clear out your headlights. (risk of them not sealing right if you suck)

and buying a shorty antenna. I recommend the 'myv6isfastr' guys for 16 bucks. looks REAL good.

 

Unobtainiam Rocks! Is it a solid... a gas .. a liquid? I has sooo many uses!

 

Store your Z, never drive it, drop your insurance for a year, and there's your savings!

 

Considering all things equal (same model/yr), how much more HP would one Z need to keep up with another which is ~ 100-120 lbs lighter?

 

sorry, but the only one worth it is the 93 octane, the rest is just either ghetto civic crap or will not do anything noticeable at all. the Z is not a "cheap" car. if you wanted cheap, you should have got a civic
