Hey guys! I am absolutely in love with my car it's amazing! And I just installed Tein street basis coilovers with varrstoen es6 gold and black (let the hate start rolling in) and I am looking for a direction for my car to go! Meaning like a drift build, or anything in between! I also have an intake! What direction would you guys reccomend and what are some good performance parts I should invest in next before I go FI!? All opinions are welcome! Thank you all!

 

Well what do you want to do? Dyno queen, street race "not reccomended", auto x, drag race, road course, drift? Most will req a slightly diff build.

If you want power go FI.

 

The direction you go should be your decision . Whichever motorsport you enjoy the most is the direction you should probably go. The car is well suited to just about anything.

 

Well I would love drift! But I'm currently daily driving my 350 in Colorado and let me tell you it is not easy. For drift I know I have to weld my diff and that won't do great in snow! Dyno queen would be awesome but I find myself and I'm in highschool. I work two jobs to afford the car and the mods I do so I'm open about everything! Could you guys play out different scenarios with different builds? If so, much appreciated

 

I am almost at a loss of words.

Alwuas love to see friendly answers thanks my man

 

As a guy who bought his first Z right out of high school and also worked over 40 hours to afford everything, let me give you some advice, since you're asking for it.

Do you plan to go to college and earn a degree? If yes, then immediately stop all thoughts of doing anything to your Z and focus on college while enjoying what your car already offers.

If you aren't thinking about college and are content with only a high school diploma, and want to spend all your time making your Z worth everyone's envy, then use the search function. This forum is literally FILLED with the answers to all your questions, you have but to type what you're looking for in that little search bar, and it will give you 100's of answers to questions that have been asked 100's of times. Asking someone else to layout all the options at your feet will likely result is such rude responses as mine because it appears you don't want to do any work on your own.

Anyway... I highly suggest putting all thoughts of modifying your Z to rest, and instead focus on planning out your goals in life instead. I did what you're about to do and spent the following 10 years grinding my way through school, and delaying my degree and future job prospects (read: more money to spend on the Z) because I spent more time working to afford my Z, and planning all the wonderful things I could do with it than I did on my own future.

Take my advice, and focus on you right now. Leave the Z for later.

 

Well I'm only a junior. I do enjoy my car and the opinion was quite harsh. I agree completely though, I find myself more worried about how sexy my car will look and run that I get sidetracked from the main goal. I appreciate it, I truly do!

 

you work 2 jobs to afford the car. What will you do when it has mechanical issues from modding and your cant drive it for weeks.

Serious question because it will happen.

 

Save all that "Mod money" for tires if you like to drift. The Z is plenty powerful to drift stock.

You don't have to weld your diff to drift. Is it a cheap mod? Yes-ish. Until tire scrub from daily driving slowlyslowly wears your tires down.

I would hold off for AT LEAST a year before doing anything. I know the mod bug bites hard, but do simple things that you notice daily-shift ****, air fresheners, etc. If you have no "baseline" for what the Z was, you will never know what it IS when you mod it.

FI = boatloads of money to do it WRONG, and even MORE to do it right.

Listen to tougeznut and enjoy your car, but focus on life after you leave high school

 

Bang for my buck I enjoy my exhaust better than anything else.

Then suspension goodies....sway bars and such.

have fun
