Default FEELER: thinking about changing out some stuff

Hey guys I'm thinking about changing out some parts on my Z so I was wondering if anyone was interested in the old stuff.

I'd be getting rid of my Borla TD Exhaust. I'm looking for 500 for it, it's been on the car for about 8 months. New from CZP it's 965 not to mention i paid almost 200 to have it shipped over.
I've also got Stillen SS headers for sale, brand new, never installed. I got them From ConceptZ Performance for $720, I'll let them go for 600.

Also if anyone is interested in my PIAA gloss black Super rozza's 19x9 in the front 19x10 in the back +25 offset all around. Some minor scraps and stuff, mostly from rocks that mess up the polished lip. can totally be refinished. I got them for 2400 + 1200 for the tires. I think i'm going to keep these because I love them but if someone really wants them i'd let them go with tires (BFG KDWS, 2000 miles on them) for 2000 with lug nuts and then I'll go order my dream rims TE37 Time attacks.

So far everything except the headers are on my car and wouldn't be available for a while. If someone is interested i'll order the stuff I wanted and it'll probably be a little over a month (stupid custom orders from japan) and then they're welcome to the parts.

Local sales only, trust me mainland people, you don't want to pay shipping from Hawaii.

Jamie, I'm glad you're getting rid of the PIAA's and are pretty much going full JDM to complete the car. TE37 TA's... you bastard! Your car is gonna be sick. No bones about it, I'm gonna be jealous... maybe I should put off the lenses? You getting 9.5/10.5 +22 and rolling the rear fenders?

Hmmmm... Last I checked, headers were part of the exhaust system. Just giving you **** man!

You will definately get more power and flow with headers man. IMHO I would rethink getting rid of those if I were you.

You pretty much give up on power when you buy a ARC oil cooler.
Besides i'm gonna need every penny for an Amuse R1 Titan exhaust!

Just think though you can headers too. I'm sure you can think of some thing else to sell.

naw gotta get rid of them they don't fit the rest of the car. besides the three pieces i'm selling in this thread everything else is pretty much custom order from japan. nismo v2 wing, damd rear diffuser, varis sides and front. ARC oil cooler.
gotta add on the amuse titan r1 exhaust and titanium intake pipe to that. some volk TE37 time attacks and it'll be pretty sweet. maybe some day i'll be able to afford a project mu or endless bbk also.
trust me guys, i'm not going for power with my Z. i've spend more then enough on the other stuff that I could have built a pretty sweet TT Z already if that was what i wanted to do. I also probably wouldn't have bought an 5AT if I was going to go that route.

Hey bro, dont forget your're not the only one with 5AT, doesn't hurt with a little more power to jerk your neck and hear that swwwwissshhhhh and whiiinnnne. I did and said the same thing, spent a lot of money on after market parts and dress up parts (all show and no go) but when its all said and done, I wish I would have installed a procharger long ago. Now, its show and go. Some times you get tired of people asking to see what you've done to the engine when its just dress-up. Bro, believe me do your thang, its all good and great the 5ATs are coming up, I just purchased the 9 psi pulley will be here next week and the AAM fuel return basic is enroute. Now it seems I'm spending all the money on engine, F$%$K its addictive, you forget about everything else especially the dressup products. Again, bro do your thang but you can get some crazy rwhp (350) from that auto at only 6-7psi of boost. With the valve body upgrade, the shifts are quicker and crisp to handle the new power.....Trust me...can't wait for the 9psi tune. And yeah, the headers do work best if you are boosting, didnt purchase mine or test pipes until I installed the procharger. But I'd keep em if planning to go th power route in the future, just hate to think of purchasing another set if and when you decided to boost. Just think about it for your next future project.
