$13,000.00 shopping spree
that is how much i have managed to save up for aftermarket parts for my Z. i am wondering what you guys would do if you had this much. i own a stock 35th anniversary addition black Z and am currently looking to make it a little better.
ps. i am not looking for someone to tell me to invest it in stocks or a roth ira or some **** like that. this is money i have DEDICATED to my Z. and therefore am going to spend it on it.
these are some of the things id like to get done, however, i know that i can't get all of them because 13 grand won't cover it
-seibon CF hood with Buddy Club 2 body kit
-greddy twin turbo kit with intercooler
-greddy evoTT exhaust or Evo2
-tein flex coilovers w/ UPBM
-tein edfc
-diamond black volk gt-7's 19"
-nismo headers
-air intake
-bride seats with takata harnesses
-2006 tails and dual projector heads
-CF parts (pillars, radiator cover, battery cover, ...)
but what would you guys do??
im looking to make my ride look good, but also give it a little extra then what its already got. id like to get up to 300+ at the wheels...so...if that helps. and i realize the TT kit will obtain that...but idk...
what do you think??

how about using that money to take some driving lessons and put it to use rather than waste it on junk mods that wont make you a better driver.
after you do that and have money left over...put it in suspension/brakes

idk with TT your ride the right way look at 15-20k alone, maybe a supercharger but that leaves tunes and install etc etc so no money for rims and such..hmmmmm maybe bodykit, drop, rims, exhaust, intake, and some engine goodies, maybe do a little sound system and some seats? but if i were gunna tackle the Z with all that stuff on your list i would bring more in the 25-35k range IMO, theres nothing wrong with a little go and alot of show? at least till you save the 15k+ for the TT?

+1 on take it slow get to know the car before you go make it hard to control. Do like most of us do and just slowly add mods but if you are going to go forced induction don't waste your money on intakes and exhaust until you decide what you want. The z has plenty of power without FI. I've seen members with 280whp with just Intake, exhaust, plenum spacer, and a good tune.
