Default Z Obsession Taking Over

i remember reading somewhere on here that if i bought a Z, i would end up spending all my paychecks on it... i didnt think it would happen but all i can think about is the next thing im going to do to my Z.. only had it for a little over a month now lol. i love my Z.

well... when i bought my Z I wanted to just keep it stock. I was wrong. I bought a moneypit. LOL.

Just make sure the mods you are putting on are worth it. There are plenty of threads here that will help you with your decisions.

Good luck man!

no lol, and u can get a used greddy tt kit for $4k to $5k here on the forum and a single turbo kit for about the same if not maybe about $800 to a $1000 less then a used TT kit, as a matter of fact there is a used greddy TT kit right now in thr FS thread for $4k. If its your DD i wouldnt got turbo. Just do like "Mcutali" said, Cams, suspenson, wheels, good tires and tune, headers and a quiet exhaust lol GL

it never ends. just when you get what you want they come out with a new wheel, better bbk, engine swaps, new seats, it just keeps going.

great advice. heed it.

And no, singles are still about as much. 10-12k including supporting mods and labor.

lol im not saying its bad... i look forward to buying the stuff than putting it in/on the Z... just funny i thought id be able to not spend a bunch of cash on it i was wrong... lol but yeah getting a used kit sounds good but isnt it a risk to buy a used kit considering there is a lot of little parts for turbo kits and i could be missing some?

I bought mine to run autocross in BS, the mod bug was biting and i didn't do a thing till i hit the roadcourse. 4 years later, BBk , full suspension , diff , seats , rollbar, full motor bolt-ons and still going. Next is a NA build and turn it into a NASA TTB car fowllowed by PTB.
