Ugh, I've still yet to do tint! I'm hating not having it right now in this heat...

First mod was installing a hottie in my passenger seat ... That and the obligatory CAI/Header/Exhaust/Plenum Spacer combo. It all sorta snowballed after that to what it is now (mind you a work in progress)

Nothing as ambitious as some of the previous posters. After a year, I installed OEM Brembos front and rear. Aside from trimming lip off of rear brake backer plates, I was careful to keep everything as stock as possible. I am a real believer in the theory that if it were practical to install some modifications, the manufacturer would have done it. Generally, every modification has its good and bad points. Sure turbos boost an engine's power, but unless designed for the added stress, one is going to give up something. And that is often reliability. In the case of the GTR, for example, Nissan added twin turbos, but it's likely the engine was designed, from the ground, up to accommodate the added boost. I am not judgemental of those who like the added mods, I am just a little too old to fool with the added problems those mods might bring to a car's reliability. In fact, the build quality and reliability relative to (low) price, is the reason why the "Z' is such a popular sports car. By contrast, cars like Jaguar are more exotic on paper, but one "drives them with a wrench".

^awesome.

What's up kevin?? The first day I had my z...what did I do? doughnuts, getting cops attention for that, tried to drive away from the cops, drove into a roadblock. Not lying.

Settled down since then, first mod was a 12" sub, injen intakes, and an exhaust!

Drove it off the lot and went to lunch with my Parents as they gave me a ride to pick it up. No mods as of yet and I don't plan on it.
