E46 m3 & s2000 would've been in my garage today if it wasn't for french guy giving me my G35C long time ago and the 370Z. :p i can't be happier with my choice at the moment.

I'm happy-ish. I just need more mod money. :o

I was looking at the m3 sedan and coupe.

but didnt figure it was worth the money.

Jeremy clarkson's car of the year is the toyota gt 86 (toyoburu twins in america)

I don't agree with that. I would vote focus st. Same price better performer and much much better daily driver. Only thing worse is driving feel because of the low weight of the frs and nice steering feel. IL tested the st vs frs (stock vs stock) at autox and the st beat the frs by like 6 seconds.... :ugh2:

i see. but you got an exhaust on there already so that's probably like the only thing really missing on the 370Z to make it a nice street sports car. :tup:

i think the 3 only things needed on the base with sport package to make it real nice are:

1) Headunit
2) Muffler (or exhaust system)
3) Wheel spacers, stud replacement type

I still prefer the dynamic of the FRS/BRZ over the ST. But the ST is definitely much faster stock for stock. It has wayyyy more grip.

It made C&D's 10 best for this year, so that's nice.

It is a fun, nimble car no question.

I had a visit from FedEx today and, within the hour (giggling like a pre-adolescent boy), had installed this quick, sweet and inexpensive mod!! :tup:

Nope! Perfect fitment w/ no bulges. This is the ONLY time I will say that bulges are bad (except when we are talking about "women")! :)

It's very hard to get one these days, I look up autotrader and ebay last week and I found none...

Last year I saw a good condition listed on the trader, asking price about CAD$18,000.

Coudn't find another one since then.....

To be honest, I don't know why Japanese car doesn't use hood-struts... :confused:

If such a good quality one only cost $90, the cost for Nissan to put those in as OEM will be even cheaper....

European have them almost 20 years ago.... and Japanese..... :shakes head:

it's the dampers that hold up the hood open so you dont need to use the prop to keep hood from closing or chopping heads off.. :tup:

Don't even sweat it. The mod is pretty subtle. You pretty much have to know what you were looking for (which is why I went back and edited my original post to reflect what the mod was)!:tup:
