Get some wheels. I have been looking at the Five:AD S5:F wheels myself.

No mods for a car that you do not have. Its against forum rules. Sorry.

he said it already has exhaust.

but i would say get a plenum spacer and a tune because you do have a good amount of bolt ons with no tune. and with the other 1500 get some used wheels.

Well, you could loan out (with interest) the 2500 to TonyblackZ so he can pay off one of his other two loans
https://my350z.com/forum/2003-2008-n...nts-loans.html
or to Adrians07Z
https://my350z.com/forum/2003-2008-n...for-s2000.html
I guess they are both pretty hard up for some cash, and it might allow you to get 3k out of the deal in the end.



Those wheels look great. Very nice, works well with the silver. 2500. HFC or TP and a tune. Suspension.

Wheels cost more than 2500 new, then plus tires. you'd have to find a good deal from someone with used wheels and tires, less you want heavy cheep ones.

Is the z going to be paid off, note in your hand, if not put the 2500 towards your loan.

smartest thing to do, put it towards your loan. once you buy the car and you KNOW you can make the payments than modify it; wheels, plenum spacer, etc. learn from the chumps who made the mistake of financing and have a title posted such as but not limited to "struggling on monthly payments"

I like the suspension idea too.

Yea, big reason I dont FI mine right now either. I would want a huge extra pile of cash before I start that project... like 30k lol

Putting that 2.5k towards the loan would be the ideal direction, but if not, a good set of coilovers and camber kits would be nice.

Sorry to burst your bubble .. but unlike that other guy I'm not "hard up" for cash

the only reason I posted that thread is b/c I'm thinking of going back to college and was thinking of trading the car in to lower my payments so I could use the couple hundred / month for school .. but everyone seems to think I'm some 19 year old "kid" that works minimum wage at burger king and bought a brand new Z .. sorry .. thats not the case


as for this thread .. figure out what you want to do with the car first .. then spend it

if theres a loan - use it for that

going fi - save

going n/a - intake / exhaust / etc

look good - body kit / wheels / audio / etc

your car, do what YOU want to do with it
