I just bought my first Z after a long wait. It already has cold-air. I was wondering what some good, up grades or add-ons might be to get me started?

Its an 03 black touring.

Thanks

 

Decide right now. Do you want to do forced induction or not?

Best exterior mod's for the Z is simply a set of aftermarket wheels and a drop.
Exhaust's wont do much either but they sound cool.
Also cold-air intakes suck for the Z. You'll probably get better hp from the stock intake.

 

run..........i smell flames.............

I didn't install the cold-air it was already on it. Thanks for response.
What would be the best choice as far as induction goes. I pretty much am new to imports, I have had trans-ams and mustangs, older models

get some wheels and a drop first. please do not buy any wheels that you are familiar with from your mustang, that is a nono.

VOLKS HRE INGS WORKS GRAM LIGHTS SSR ADVAN BBS etc...

 

I kinda figured that. Is it better to 18s, 19s, or 20s?

whats with the LAWL, I'm just asking questions?

 

Whats the story with 03's I've heard there are transmission problems are there other I should be aware of?

 

03's have a tire feather issue... if you arent going to track your car I would get 19's..20's are frowned upon generally.

 

I thought 20's were a little big, liked the look of 19's. It wont be tracked. Will the tire feathering be an issue after the wheel swap?

 

i believe there is a recall if you experience any feathering...if you dont see any feathering on your tires now...it probably has already been fixed.

 

it was a factory set up alignment issue. get an alignment and thats it.

I did stereo first cause of the factory blows system. I spent 99% of the time in the car so a high end stereo and a nice shift **** made be happy, untill I spent 4k on rims and tires and even more on motor, suspension, etc. it gets $$$$$$$$$$

 

rays sf challenge or gts ...hmmm.. with some suspension

 

Look around on the site and figure out what you want, theres lots of pictures and lots of info. Just take your time and browse. N/A power upgrades don't do much, S/C or turbo(s) are the best way to get power.

 

Save every penny you have for a Turbo. You will be cooler than most if you get there.

 

WTF SEARCH

All you guys are helping him for what?? to rice his car out. dude do a lot of research and come back and tell us what are your plans!

 

'03's had a stock alignment issue that caused pre-mature tire wear. Also, there have been reports of people's trannys grinding and needing a the newest revision(009 or something).

I would suggest right now making an spread sheet or organizing your future plans BEFORE you buy anything..otherwise you will be aimlessly spending money on a bunch of random stuff to find out your going to have to get something different for your FI setup.

 

it's guys like you that make this forum less useful everyday. if you have no good input to help this guy out then don't post to add up your count.

 

sometimes i like to be nice
