Good luck.

I'm not sure what you mean by more fun. It sounds like u want performance and for that the list is endless. As for the clutch sticking I would suggest turning off the TCS and if it's still sticking (I had the same problem) it could quite possibly be the slave cylinder but possibly not. I got the RJM adjustable clutch bracket and my clutch never sticks to the bottom anymore

That's untrue. If anything it's more like pads/fluid/rotors/SS lines/tires and learn to drive the car.

Everyone will have there own answers but will start with what you want out of your car. Of courtse get it in proper running condition first. After that the fun is only limited by the size of your pocket.


Realize the car started out awfully fun right out the box and if you don't think so you are in the wrong car. JMO

Anyway do you want a car that handles on rails? Lighter Wheels, Wider Tires, Sway Bars, Coil overs /Springs. See what I mean about you can go as deep as your pocket and this is only suspension mods.

Some here will say mod the driver and they are right. The better you learn to drive your car the more fun it will be, and you will probably never gain more skill than the potential of the stock car you have so realize all this is want and not need. So fix the car and then go have fun whatever your personality wants.

Practice the Dugan. It starts out fun and ends up with mods.

My suggestion would be to start with a good set of sticky tires. Bridgestone RE-11s come to mind. Mmmm...

Unless you go boost... the Z is should be purely cosmetic car. You will spend a stupid amount on NA mods that will get you nothing in HP worth mentioning. Intake and exhaust is as far I would go with bolt ons, as an exhaust is more as a cosmetic mod than performance on NA cars imo.

Front lip or full lip kit
