not necessarily.........if you have the base model.....might get the nismo or quaife LSD's that will help u with launching and stability....if ur car has the factory LSD then ur good to go.but an aftermarket LSD would be cool!

btw gas mileage is lil bit affected but not noticeable if u always drive on the freeways.

Hey i have a question. where do you guys shop for parts? like Exhaust system,headers,mid-pipe,coil overs,springs,sway bars,strut bars,trunk bar? i only know KMP is their any other shop/store in the valley? i usually buy parts online, but wanna find a store down here since it's more convient. Oh and KMP has some test pipes for sale for a G35, idk if it's compatible with a 350Z. but yeah.

**** kmp

they over price everything
they buy 80 dollar hids from frontera and sell em for 500
and extra for the relay harness, if you dont want the harness which most cars will need they will hook it up to your turnsignals. that alone will **** up your relay/fuses.

its better to buy off the internet
worth the wait imo

yea i heard alot of bad things about that place.

if you all need a good mechanic try TEXAS WHEELS on 23rd right behind pizza hut ask for joseph hes really good at what he does and pretty good pricing. hes done work on my car and some of the guys here in the forum. i dont know about prices on parts but you can ask him and find out.

the only shop i let touch my car was Rising Sun Motorsports (RSM) in Pharr, cuz they actually know wtf they are doing and prices are reasonable. but overall you best bet is to buy online from forum vendors.

They are great on Hondas but they know cars overall. They did my suspension work and my boi had some engine work done there as well, no tuning or stuff of that nature but installation of parts that are not 'home garage' friendly


btw +1 on UpRev, good stuff. let me know if you guys end up going so i can cruise with you all up there
