Default how many of u would start modding a z after 100k miles

ok maybe a silly question, im pushing 60k miles on mine and ive been modding it here and their, but i amjust loving this car and thinking bout doing some serious mods when its paid off next year. now my question is how many people would mod them after 80k miles or 100k. i plan on sometime putting a while new engine in it with turbos but might wait a little while.of course by then ill have a daily driver besides this. thx for the info

Why not?

If the engine goes, just build it.


and 100000 miles isn't "a lot" for our cars.

Agreed. My car is definitely running better at 60k than ever before (I think).
If my car gets TTd it will definitely be on the stock block, around 80k miles.

Mod away.

I wouldn't mod mine with 80-100,000 miles.

Reason...

Because I will probably sell it with 50-60,000 miles

+1; 60 k is chump change in miles unless it's been turbo and is an Audi or a Subaru. Just make sure then that all has been done that should be done.

I say go for it no doubt. I'm gonna be heavily modding my Z too. I don't really think about miles as long as the car is in good condition. I plan on going FI and when the time comes I'll just get a new engine.

as long as warranty is over I'm all for it. Don't feel like hearing stealerships telling me that whatever problem i have is because of the mods and that my warranty is void.

haha i doubt it since my Z is a garage queen with 2 oil changes under its belt.
Truthfully tho, its good to know the Z can last much much longer.

I hit he 100000 thousand mile mark in my 03 recently and I must say she is running like a champ.... Better than some newer cars I have driven/ridden in just choose your mods wisely and keep your maintnance up and I don't see why a z can't hit 200000 or more
