Default My new car Freshly detailed

Well as most of you know I had a 350z and fully loved the car, but when the z became even more common then it was I got bored with it. Part of the problem was my z was pretty much finished. I was going to put new wheels on it and it would be complete. Heres my old z.

Brake upgrade didnt turn out to well. Only pic I have that shows the drop I had.

Heres my new car. 2007 pearl white STI Bought brand new.

That's too bad....the Z looked fierce. This new one just looks f....ugly. Subies are cool in their own special way though. Congrats on the new purchase.

I just switched from an 05 STi to the Z. I would highly recommend getting a catted downpipe and a 3" midpipe then get a Cobb AP and have it Protuned.

With the same set-up my 05 was able to hit 304 whp and 342 wtq. What a huge difference it made in performance. It has power in any gear at any RPM.

You do not need an intake, BOV and all that jazz. The stock intake can handle up to 400 hp and the stock turbo can not put out that kind of power. If you want anything over the stage 2 set-up then you will need a new turbo and IC.

Congrats on the new car.
