Hello Forum,
I just bought my first Z after 05 Tl typeS and 04 525i. I am in love with this car. i wish i had bought it earlier. I got it as stock and I added wheels, in dash dvd player along with all 6 speakers. Now i am looking forward to lower it lil bit and add some spacers before going into engine mods. Any type of help/suggestions/used parts are welcome
i am still figuring out how to post pics.. lol

Congrats! And welcome to the forum.

 

Nice choice on wheels. Welcome to the forum!

 

Thanks guys... I need suggestions on lowering springs..

 

welcome! and eibach sportlines are good. tanabe makes a good set of lowering springs too

 

welcome! Make sure you come out to the meets ^^

 

Will do for sure sir! I heard something is going down at pacific raceways next month... Looking forward to it!

 

There's a meet at the renton landing this thursday at 7pm as well, probably going to be more G guys than Z's but its all good, come out if you're free! top floor of the parking garage!

 

I am off & its right by where i live. I will be there along with my buddies they both have Gs...

 

sweet! Just roll up to the top floor of the parking garage and look for all the Z/G's!

 

How did you own an 05 TL Type S? They made the type S in that body style in 07 and 08...and 02 and 03 before that.

 

I am sorry bro! I meant 03... Thanks for correcting!

 

Welcome to the forum.
And congrats on the Z!

 

plus 1

 

nice looking z, i like the wheels definitely a worthy upgrade

 

any new mods to share?

 

i recommend the magnaflow x pipe dual in dual out muffler, bout 100 bux. gives a true dual exhaust, sexy as hell, id keep the cats for a little low end torque. cat back would run you about 400 including muffler, cheaper and probably the most muscle sound, there are a few custom magnaflow youtube vids with this setup, its one muffler with an internal x pipe, sounds similar to the motordyne 60 percent less expensive and less mufflers, aluminum piping, makes for the lightest true dual exhaust. sound, power, weight, price. add a plenum spacer, and you have the two best n/a mods, i dunno how much tunes are. the stock intake is great with a drop-in K&N.. provides better cool air than just about everything unless you go with a titek front duct would aid in ram/cool air, and no - rain doesnt effect it, if you get it, consider the jwt popcharger intake aswell.. if you dont want the titek look, consider K&N typhoon. best mods for the price welcome to the Z world man.
