Now i wouldent consider that stock.

You should buy your turbo Lancer back.

This is exactly how we chase people away from the boards.

If I were going to do anything tires and rims would be the second thing after a stereo.
personally id do the exact same thing but in reverse order ;D. the 6 disc setup is ok for now so I would rather get rims.

Noob or not, he never came in hear bragging about being an expert. He came in here to ask an honest question.

Agreed on the first comment
, in the same boat as you with the second.

As for browsing the forum, if i cant ask a simple question and mentioning being comfortable with "stock" draws instant personal attacks... i guess i should not browse these forums, i just thought the Z community was different, but hey you live and learn, right?

Unfortunately, all forums are like this....you basically have two types of people. The ones who are genuinely nice, friendly and want to help others and then you have the ones who think they know everything and blast "use the search feature" if you start a thread thats been talked about before.
Comment not directed at anyone, just stating my experience.
I plan on keeping mine stock for some time....at least until the warranty runs out. I do want to do certain things but they arent considered modding. Clear cover on the front and I guess the only thing other than that is a cold air intake...damn...I guess that is considered a mod. lol

1. iPod Kit, because Nissan didn't offer anything OEM.
2. Coilovers and sway bars, because I wanted to tighten up the handling and take performance driving lessons.
3. Aftermarket headers, HFC's, exhaust, and lightweight clutch/flywheel, because they add HP/tq and/or reduce weight.
All of those tweak the Z, but keep the lines the same. I'm not a fan of body mods unless it's a full kit.
