Went to RF today. Only managed to pull off a 14.95@86, but w/e. All my times were right around 14.9. My car is consistent as hell.

Heres a couple vids.

don't even waste your time, money, or effort on headers. Even if you got them for free and only had to pay for / do the install, they still wouldn't be worth it.

Unless you boost the car the only things I would do...
Lots of suspension work
-tein or cusco coilovers
-front and rear sways
-camber kits, A-arms, etc
Test pipes on stock exhaust
window tint
wheels/tires

Performance wise, nothing you can bolt on, short of a SC or turbo is going to do anything worthwhile

Man, I'm sorry to hear that. Keep your head up! I was laid off for a few months last summer and things worked out.

Holy Cow! Driving the Z will pale in comparison to some of the jets you will be exposed to. Good luck my man! What are you going to do with the Z? Store it while you are gone.

Thanks Ben. The Z will be stored until I'm done with tech school I believe. I'll be back up here this fall I think. I'll take a week or a week and a half of leave to visit family, maybe meet up with you guys, and drive it down to my first assignment.

Of course I'll still be active here and a long road trip will be necessary to meet up with you guys again.

don't waste your money on headers, not worth the $ or the effort.

It's the day that the recruiter can meet me without our schedules clashing.


I'd come home to a stripped frame.



I think I might just let my dad drive it every once in a while just to keep it fresh.

Isnt it a coincidence that Ben is moving out of the state 2 weeks after our little incident on the twisty road near ZUMBROTA?

This incident involving my big family man sedan with a large trunk right up on his 'fancy dancy 2 door sports car's' ***... who recalls? My car recalls... it says WHAT NOW BIATCH.


LOL im jk Ben. Good luck with the AF. Those things look crazy fun to fly but id probably puke lol

Default Another new guy!
What's up Z fans. I just wanted to introduce myself. I've had a 04 base model for about two years now but I just recently heard about this forum from a couple of guys at the last cars and coffee! My a has seen a few mods but nothing huge yet. I'm looking forward to meeting up with some of you guys at some of the meets.
