I have 1200 bucks to blow on the Z, what should I get for it? Wheels, ECU flash??? I don't know. Gimmie some suggestions.....

 

general order as follows:

suspension
wheels
exhaust
body kit
paint body kit
install body kit

 

What are your plans/goals for/from the Z? I personally don't like ECU Flashes. I rather invest in a UTEC.

I completely disagree. Everyones goals are different. I rather invest the $1200-$2000 for wheels into more power. Wheels are a bling factor to me. Now to buy $800-$1200 into tires is different. Tires help performance.

 

I did exhuast, wheels, sway bars then springs dampeners. If i were to do it again, I'd do this:
Stillen exhuast, Resonated TP FI or Labree, tokiko springs/dampeners, wheels and NICE tires, sway bars, A-arm, BBK and then a lip or maybe skirts.

 

I have no regrets with my route. Tires, bolt-ons (intake, spacer, pulley, TP), UTEC tune, Suspention (Springs & Sways), Exhaust. Next JWT TT Kit.

 

nitrous

 

Too many risks.

 

save more for wheels....

 

^^+1. $1,200 will not buy you decent wheels, expecially since a "sensible" set (wider in the rear) would need new tires too.

Looking at your mods, exhaust+HFCs seems the only logical next step, but that may push you a tad above budget. If so, get the HFCs later.

 

I may be willing to spend more then 1200 bucks. The 1200 is just what I won in Atlantic City and is not really included in my normal budget so I don't feel bad blowing it on the car.

 

I'd take the 1200 and go back to Atlantic City and parlay that into $10,000 if you can. Then find your nearest JWT dealer and drop off the car.

Maybe this is why I have been told I have a bit of a gambling issue, but thats what I'd do. It's only $1200 that you didn't have a few days ago, so if you lose it parlaying it for more then oh well.

for 1300 you can buy Work emotion wheels. They're cheap and strong and available in wider sizes. You'd need tires and lugs on top of that though. Exhuasts..are always fun. The extra sound makes driving a blast. I suggest an exhaust w/ an X pipe to reduce rasp.

 

I have to agree with nitrous, any n/a mods fail miserably in comparison.

elsewise, wheels, nice to make the Z look a little different.

 

Save for Twins.

 

Well so what are you going to do???

 

***** that the wheels that I want don't come in the right size.

 

springs and exhaust

 

Depends on what you want to do with the car. If it were me (given the mods already in your sig), I would either:

- upgrade the suspension ($1200 would just about cover the Hotchkis TVS kit and Koni or Tokico shocks)

- consider the $1200 a discount on wheels/tires and put a little more money on top for nicer wheels and tires than what you might be able to get for $1200

- go with Mudd's suggestion and see if you can't get closer to what a JWT TT would cost (NA mods are just not cost effective on this car, IMO)

Let us know what you decide!

 

Konis though!!!!!!

 

Toss up between coil-overs or exhaust, but definatley one of the two!!!
