Question does anyone else have a "to do" mod list for the Z

Just wondering how many out there have a list compiled of what they want "to do" to their Z.

My list is ridiculous, and it just seems like I am always adding to the list... will it ever end!!? (It's fun tho)

the sad thing is that it kinda pisses me off, or maybe makes me sad that i am not able to go out and get everything I want for my baby right now! I'm impatient, she is meant to be spoiled.......

Doesn't it seem like the Z is demanding? I mean I go out and buy some new stuff for it, and all I can think about is what else I need to add...

this might be getting out of hand, I am defintely addicted.

what do you mean by "to do list"?

*visit the harbor with Z
*go on a picnic at local park
*see the movie, Titanic 2, when it comes out
*a vacation and stay at a nice hotel and spa

I've had a list since before I got the car. The problem with it is that it constantly changes. I see something or read about something and start developing an idea about it. My priorities change so the desire/need for the mod shifts too. A lot of times though, after I research it and learn more about it from others I decide that it's not really a mod worth having. A CAI is the perfect example.

#1 on the list; make money

Making a list doesn't matter until step 1 is complete.

You forgot the Nismo LSD since you have a Base model also. I need the APS plenum, too, since I'm going with the APS setup. I almost forgot I want to have the heads redone with Nismo titanium valves, springs, and retainers. A fully tuned ECU will also be needed.

I'm having fun with my list :P

Nismokid, you are planning on ordering APS, or have already ordered it?
