Sway bars, oil cooler, intake, a nice exhaust and they car will be better than it is.

Beautiful STI

Wicked! Helpful information guys - thanks!

I'm not too worried about the oil cooler, steering lock or anything small like that. I appreciate the heads up!

I think if I go this route, I'm going to be a bit subtle with the modification this time around. Ahh I hope the STI sells now

your not gonna be subtle with the mods, everyone says that, or they say they will do little to no mods (in most cases I believe em

) but the addiction to mods will be too great to stop. believe me.

LOL
I know.. I've been there many times.

So far the STI is 99% sold.
I'm looking around for a 370z now.

Once it's off the lot, I'm off to order some parts.
First off on the list is:
- KW Coils
- Wheels: Not sure which ones yet, but the few on my list are
* Work Meisters 3PC
* Weds Kranze
* Volk Ce28n

Later down the road, I'd like to do the amuse kit and just keep it dropped and "simple" haha

haha really?

I mean, coming from what my STI looked like - that's subtle to me!

Originally I was looking at seeing if there was a voltex kit and wing that I could use.
Something like this -

But I think I just wanna do the low and wide look lol.

Good luck with your search! I came from an Evo X. I got bored of the car pretty fast. I think because of how easy it was to drive. Also got very tired of the interior. I definitely made the right choice! The Z is much more refined and rewarding to drive, IMO.

Totally! I feel the Evo and STI share the same blandness.
Interior is quite cheap and boring. All you're really paying for is the power - which is kind of over priced considering you're not getting much more than that. Not hating on them, but after sitting in a 370z and looking at the similarity in price - you get quite a bit more in the Z.

Sports package - that includes the big brakes and nav, I think?

The AT is a superior tranny, not just saying that because I have one, but as far as autos go, the 370z auto is really good, and as far as mods, well you figured that one out yourself.

SolidRed370Z · 10-26-2012, 08:46 AM

Welcome and I hope you can find a 370z that fits you. I love my car, only thing is I wish I had gotten the sports package.

AT is quicker 1/4 mile wise, but i still think a sports car should be MT, but thats up to you.
Sport package gets you front and rear spoilers, LSD, and bigger wheels and brakes. Nav is it's own package. We have a different option group then the US guys do as far as how the car starts off.
