I'm not dumb enough to fall for the marketing BS, but anyone who buys a K&N (or similar knock-off "cold air" intake for their Z certainly is.
All of these responses have been amazing so far but I particularly like this one.
It's got a cone filter, so it must be a cold air intake right? RIGHT????
People who think they can increase their horsepower by taking away air from outside the engine bay and replacing it with air from inside the engine bay should not be working on cars

Yeah I don't worry too much about exterior cosmetics on a 14 year old car myself. I mean, I ain't gonna lie, I've tried to spot spray, epoxy, and clear coat my way to success, with mixed results.
I keep telling myself to just drive the thing and forget about the scratches. It's not an art show .

I obsess over cosmetics on my '08. I buffed my whole car recently just because the sun was glimmering on my door and I could see swirls there. I was losing my mind.
Anyways, dumbest thing I bought for my car so far.... Red aluminum tire caps..

Well, consider those the second dumbest thing I bought for my car... Red lug nuts too, lol.

Rockin' these on double deuces fit on mah Benz. I had to blur the wheel caps cuz, well, I don't want nobody gettin' jealous, feel me? Thass right, I got 5x112 to 4x100 adapters to run them. (I know someone will spot that and call me down.)
Engine damper brace (Stillen). My car will never ever put out enough torque for a damper to be purposeful. Completely useless piece as far as I'm concerned.

The main radiator hoses are great, the smaller hoses are a bit of a pain in the *** because they are thicker than OEM and the factory fittings don't fit over all of them very good... The entire kit goes on sale around black Friday so no regrets about that.
Getting cold again luckily it warms up into the upper 60s during the day still.... Really the best time of year but fast approaching the worst
Same here, upper 60s in the day and 50s at night - dark by 7:15 right now. It''s my favorite time of year - lots of color. But ya, it doesn't last long, maybe another month, maybe...and then it's a long winter haul

I put them on when I flushed the coolant. Why not? they're cheap and one less thing to worry about.Got them in black-Z1. I think the flush is more important though.

aluminum oil drain bolt. had it for less than a year before it decided to snap and i had to extract. got it from Z1, but any aluminum drain bolt would of snapped. Yes maybe i over torqued. but didn't strip threads only bolt snapped
Transmission mount on a daily...sure response improved slightly and shifts are crispy, but it sounds and feels like being on a massage chair in a machine shop.
not sure if it made a difference significant enough to spend $660....
Wow- that is a pricey purchase for coils and plugs. Like many things with the Z33, the OEM-spec sparkplugs and coils (unless they go bad) are pretty hard to improve on. Even though SCCA road racing rules allow open replacement of plugs, nobody seems to have found any advantage in this area.

I think it works fine.
