Don't worry about it man, think of it as a hazing process... Everybody goes thru it sooner or later. And don't judge everybody on here by the actions of a few. I'm not gonna try and "flame" you or say anything against ur car because you haven't given me a reason to... Also, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE build your car for yourself, not for anybody else, and especially not for people on this forum who are thousands of miles away and you don't even know. Don't be one of "those" guys. As you can tell it's one of my biggest pet peeves. Hell, for all we know the iron on patches look badass, I'm not a brand ***** who says stuff like "Bride or GTFO", or "Go Volks or Go Home" etc, so I won't give u bad feedback unless it just flat out looks bad. I mean, my wheels aren't volks, they're the nismo editions cuz they are the ones I liked best on the car. Same with my FI, I didn't do the lemming thing and go out to get the same procharger or TT setup that everybody else has just cuz they have it, I went w/ what was best for MY situation, get where I'm going with this??? Now I will however judge a car for poor build quality, being generally unsafe, and having a douchebag owner, and the OP's ride falls under all of the above. Anywho... I'm ranting, welcome to my350z brotha, and a word of advice, don't sweat the small stuff on here cuz the more you do, the more ppl will try and flame you for it.

Thanks for being real with me. I appreciate not being flamed more than is necessary. Maybe after I'm done paying this thing off I can put the extra $500/month towards some tasteful, well engineered mods. For now it's painted stock wheels, nismo intake/short shifter, an ebay front lip, and some audio gear.

No sweat though. I wish I had more time to actually drive the car because even a completely stock Z is kind of rare around here in Philly. Again, thanks for the warmer welcome without the flames......

Can you summarize the performance mods? You have the turbo where the stock airbox would be, what kind of engine management are you using? Injectors?

I browsed most of the "your car sux" posted but didn't see it mentioned. I really don't care about your exterior or wheels. The only thing that matters is engine, suspension, brakes, etc.

Ok I don't have a built engine, nor do I own Volks, or do I have a Amuse Widebody... Stupid comments get brash responses. If your going to put yourself out there with such a bold statement prepare yourself for the critics. FYI... the Amuse Superleggera is about 17k for the FRP model, your numbers were way off.

I'm pretty sure he was just trying to make a point.

Now, back on topic...

235's on those (ugly) wheels? GTFO.

Car still has potential if you remove the vinyl and nasty headlight/taillight tint.

OP was doomed from the start with his title though LOL

You're right. I'll try to hold in my load until it really makes sense to bust.

I wasn't referring to you but the OP... you on the other hand just chimed in a little too late in the game.
