For me, i get a certain thrill out of working on cars.

yes i LOVE modding my Z because it makes my car original. But the thing that really attracts me to modding is the ability to turn heads. When a ferrari goes driving by everyone looks and thinks damn i wonder what that person does. When an 18 year old goes by in a modded Z, people just stare in awe.

But its not all about just show mods either. I mean one of the easiest mods i ever did to my car was LED external lights (i.e parking lights, turn signals, reverse lights, license plate lights). Cost me 50 bucks for all the bulbs, and took just over an hour to do. EASY. but at night time, my car stands out from EVERY other car around here.

 

People mod so that they can add more to their signature on this forum!!! Everyone knows that

 

Dude, just get 1 mod, only 1 mod and you'll understand. It is very addicting. Example, you put an intake on, wow awesome sound, awesome look, a lil better throttle response, then you do exhaust, wow sounds a lot better! I can feel a lil more power on the butt dyno, then you do this and that and this and that. You will love your mod the first week, and then by the next couple weeks you will have gotten used to the mod and the sickness starts all over.

 

Totally true. I gained 2 inches from Popcharger.

 

I gained 20 horsepower using JC Whitney "fire injectors".

 

ya i get alot more thrill from installing all my parts ON MY OWN...anyone can pay the money to have someone else add more power to their car...its alot better if you install them on your own..and I know for a fact djmatrix doesnt...the only mod he does on his own is putting is ***** in stewartz....djmatrix doesnt know **** about cars and says he has mods he doesnt and everyone knows that...everyone can go look back at you posts and see you basically lie about everything

 

Not doubting you, but I'd be interested in knowing what your source is for those stats.

 

LMAO-best reply. If you dont get it, dont do it. I dont get why gay men like taking it in the a$$ I dont go posting "why bend over, should I do it?"

 

Why Modify?

because we need something to waste our money on

 

It's not gay if the your ***** don't touch. True story.

 

pwned

 

i own a 240sx and have owned several 240s. all of them were very modified. (engine swaps, built motors, etc...)
i used the cars for drifting.
why people choose to spend ~$10k in mods only to have a large signature on a forum is beyond me.
some people actually want to build a car to a desired goal.
others have the "mod addiction" described within this thread and will sometimes post stupid **** like "what mod should i do next?" they dont change things for a reason they just want to have a laundry list of popular/rare/bling parts to compete with others.

if i was going to do anything i would buy a used supercharger kit. i bought some 06 wheels for my 03 too. the car feels kinda slow to me and i just hated the 03 touring 18s.

 

I feel you there....i just bought some of the 06 rays myself...i hate the 04 tourings i have..yuck....cant wait to put them on this weekend.

 

Because I can!

 

thats cool dude....i do the same down here with my cousin. hes on his 4th 240 right now with SR and the works.... pushing 300 plus on the drift track. its sweet. ive helped him do quite a bit of engine swaps and such as well. i love that car for its aftermarket surplus. parts are everywhere for that thing...lol.

why did you get Z if you were going to ask these kind of questions??

 

funny you say that, because when i was young and worked to pay for my first 240 in high school there was close to ZERO aftermarket for it in the US. i also find this thread funny because my father could have easily bought me a z33 equivalent, but i never expected it and am glad he didnt. (kinda hard to explain and the kids would never get it anyway.)
now i have the z and am kinda over modding. stil like the car though.
i think modding the z kinda bastardizes it. now matter how good you think your kit and 20" chrome wheels look, the average person thinks a stupid kid owns the car when they look at it.

 

You don't have to increase hp if you are not into it, just put better coilovers (lower the car a bit), add thicker swaybars, install the front/rear BBK with ss lines, grounding kit, shortshifter, flywheel + clutch, bigger, lighter wheels with some decent rubber on them, and you're done You can also throw in a vlsd. With those mods you won't probably have the fastest Z around but probably one of the best handling Zs, it will also have a slightly better throttle, and much better brake pedal response.

just my 2 cents.

 

Why do people climb Mount Kilimanjaro thats what I want to know?

 

because i can.....


......and i did
