looks good Trey, that's an awesome talent you have. Any plans for future upgrades?

 

Thanks man. And I'm kind of looking for some but... I'm not sure exactly what to do? Any ideas? But yeah I'm definitely looking to do some things.

 

Not the best pic in the world, but from what I can see it's looking really good. keep up the good work, and keep her looking that way.

 

IDK man, that's really up to you... I think mods should be an expression of yourself so they should come from you. You have the talent to basically do whatever you want. You could custom paint your interior, or do a two-tone paint job on the exterior... It really depends if you are looking for show or go mods, I have no idea what the previous owner did to your Z, but it could be something as simple as a cold air intake or a shorty antennae. Or something as extensive as a carbon fiber lip kit, side skirts, a rear diffuser or even a twin turbo. Generally the first mods that everyone tries to do is to lower the car, put some tasteful rims on ( which you already have) and then to add some aero pieces like a lip or new bumper and sideskirts. The point is do your research find things you like, and do it. Don't ask for everyone's opinion, cause it only really matters if you like it. Keep your mods clean, and try to have an overall purpose, or picture of how you want the car to look in mind. Probably the most important piece of advice is do it right the first time, don't half *** something, put 100% into whatever you do and make it an expression of yourself. That's the whole point of modifying a car in my eyes.

 

the car already has a good suspension setup for autox/track duty. RS-R titanium springs, Koni Yellow sport struts and Motordyne adjustable sway bars - no need to touch the suspension. the engine has a Motordyne plenum spacer and MREV2 lower manifold ("basic bolt-ons").

IF you were going to mod, i'd go for an intake - JWT Popcharger is a good choice. after that, you could do a cat-back exhaust. if you want to go any further, swap the catalytic converters for high-flow cats, or test pipes. that will give you some gains, but you'll want to go for a tune after that.

 

+1
Yea sounds like you've got yourself a nice setup. Like sfearl said I think an intake would be a good choice, and it's not that expensive. Good bang for your buck. If you're gonna look at exhausts I LOVE my Nismo

 

I just read every page of this thread and i've got to hand it to you, i would never think it was wrecked. you did a great job and its good to see younger people that actually have their head screwed on straight and willing to put in work. I caught so much crap when I had my Z back in 06 and was young it was rediculous. Cant wait to see what else you have up your sleeve!

 

Just went thru all these pages, definitely a great job. Can't even tell it was in an accident! Props for being so young and having these skills.

 

I definately will. Alright. So today I went to the little gas station down the road and one of my dad's good friends that owns it was talking to me ( He's loaded... ) And he said he wanted to buy it. Then dad was telling me to sell it and upgrade to a 07 or something with a dual throttle body. But idk... I love this one. And he was telling me to take add ons and put them on a new one or to get a new one, and charge for those and buy new ones? But idk... I don't think I could beat this one... :/

 

How much is he offering you for it?>?? If you can make a profit and can afford a 07-08 I would do it.

 

I would make a profit since I got it wrecked that's what my parents do

 

I would actually suggest not selling. This is a car you've really worked on. If it was me, I would be too proud to give it up.

 

That's my problem a new one would be wrecked to

 

egh, enjoy it for what it is. if you're that hardcore about the Z33, and feel it necessary to upgrade to an HR (VQ35HR engine), then go for it. but the DE Rev-Up (VQ35DE Rev-Up engine) is a solid engine (that's what you've got). that car has decent power and tasteful mods... you'll probably be hard-pressed to find one that was taken care to the extent i took care of it, WITH the mods done already, WITH that low of miles.... but i could be wrong - you found that one.

i vote no, but of course I'm biased

 

Yeah I decided to stay because I looked up the HP and torque of the new one and they both raised 6 so no difference. But then... Dad said... You could afford a newer Corvette ( '05 '06 ) :O

 

looks good kid, you do nice work

 

... Stick with the z

 

I'm keeping it imma head out to the garage ( house garage ) to clean it up a little. I have some fans and ac going to cool it off we had a big storm and its humid... Can't wait to mess with it

 

Hey sfearl did you change to a cai or something? And then change back

 

Yeah, had a JWT Popcharger on there then I put the stock air box back in.
