Boost an '06! all parts are transferable (I think) and you have a newer fi Z.

haha it seems like everyone has a different opinion, none of which have anything to do with me keeping this car

Here's my plan. Sell the Full kit and get OEM bumper to put on the car, sell the Injen and grab a OEM, sell the spacers, sell the wheels and put stock back on but keep the HKS, Pioneer and gps.

Sell the car for bluebook value and buy a HR, transplant the parts you kept and sell the OEM parts off the HR.
I see what you mean. Seems like alot of work though for not alot of money. Those wheels don't actually have any spacers though

+1 on getting the '07/'08, but I'd stick with the 5AT.
They're Nexen N3000's. 340 treadwear AA traction A temp and they're very cheap

Everything is transferable so the 06 is an option also at this point

Buy a HR Z, Don't do any bolt ons, just do a 100 shot and use it when you need to.

It sounds as if either way you are firm in your desire to sink untold amounts of cash into a car. Since you understand that modding a car is nothing more than an expensive hobby, then choose the option that makes you the happiest.

It is like a golfer wondering if they should buy an entirely new set of clubs after they have already replaced a couple drivers and putters with expensive clubs. You can sell the old set but keep the special drivers and putter, or you can just sell the set as is and buy a new, better, set until you decide your game will be better with a slightly different club. Golf can be an expensive hobby and some folks spend ridiculous amounts of money on it. They do it because they enjoy it. It makes no sense beyond that.

Modding cars is exactly the same, an expensive hobby that is worthless beyond the enjoyment you derive from it. So... do what you want and who cares what others think?

Yeah I know what you mean. Cars are a very expensive hobby but I'll always do what makes me happy anyway and I'll most likely trade up to a 6mt newer model. I actually came across an 06 6mt with 24k miles for $13k. No accidents, oil consumption problems and no liens. It may be calling my name
