I started modding one month after buying my Z. I should have know I was in for trouble when I went to have my Tanabe suspension installed. I was laughed at when I told the guy at the shop that I ONLY wanted to have the suspension done and would not be doing any other mods.
Two years and $25K+ later I still going. I'm almost done....just need an oil cooler....boost controller...

First mod was a pop charger at 1,500 miles on the car, then at ~2,200 miles on the clock the wheels went on

I always knew I was gonna mod it! Coming from the Honda Nation I swore to myself I was gonna cut into the body or put any wing on it, just something settle! Once I seen the Nismo V2, I had to get it, then I not one to pass up a good deal so once I saw how plentiful the marketplace is, it was over!

1500 miles I installed the Nismo Exhaust, Intake, Pulleys, Tint, and Alarm

3 1/2 years later and nearly 30k spent, the car is close to being done.

I lasted 4 months but now I have promissed myself to only do a grand of mods a year. That hasn't worked out real well either as I just bought HFC to go with the rims and tires I bought in April. now that my wife has a Z as well and wants everything for it the mod bug is eating me whole.
