Splitter would be impossible to hide from my parents so I think I'm leaning towards the springs or bumper. My parents think spending money on mods for my car is a stupid waste of money and they get mad at me when I do it. So I have to get mods they won't notice. If there isn't a huge visual difference, they will never know. They never really sit in my car, just see it parked in the parking lot. Springs I could get away with and replacement bumper has already been pre-approved by them :p
Ahh... I remember those days. I still remember "if you spend any more money on your car, you can afford your own car insurance". In college, I paid for my G35, but my parents paid the insurance. So for my Alcantara interior and turbo kit, it was all paid in cash in hopes they wouldn't know (my credit card statements were sent to my home address, not college address). After about a year, my dad bragged about his coworker's GT500 and how fast it was. I couldn't take it anymore and had to finally give him a ride. It was classic.

Nice. I pay for my insurance, but that and the car loan are under their name. If I make them too angry, they might force me to sell the car and I can't really do anything about it. They were afraid of me getting a sports car in the first place so getting things to make it go faster isn't going to make them happy. Once I finish school and start working full time, I won't have to worry about these things anymore. Will still be living with my parents though.

Good choice. You won't regret it. :tup:

After the springs you should get a new bumper next though... :rofl2:

b1adesofcha0s 09-02-2011 10:59 PM
Just sent the payment for a set! Next will probably be whatever my cousins get me for my bday. Might be HFC/ART pipes.

Anyways I need your guys help deciding what to get for my next mod. Here are my choices:

-Off brand head unit
-Swift Spec R Springs
-Stillen Front Splitter + black out fangs
-Replace my front bumper

All of those are around $200-300. Head unit will be a bit more with all the accessories. I'm leaning towards either the Swifts or the splitter right now.
replace the bumper!

b1adesofcha0s 09-03-2011 06:40 PM
Too late already bought the springs :p

b1adesofcha0s 09-06-2011 11:52 AM
Looks like my seller for the intakes backed out. If anyone sees a set of Stillen G3 intakes for sale, please let me know! Thanks :tiphat:

Masa 09-06-2011 12:19 PM

Well for me it's because of the cost. Don't want to spend too much money on the Z. I'd rather save that extra $1-2k for a house or a GT-R. The springs are enough for what I want to do with the car and enough for me to have a lot of fun in it.

I do plan on tracking it, but I don't have to make it into a track all star. Coilovers would be awesome for the track. So would a good diff, a good BBK, track tires, etc. The cost adds up very quickly, but I'm sure you know all about that.

b1adesofcha0s 09-07-2011 11:13 AM
Looks like G3 intakes are back on ordered status and should be shipped out by this weekend. :tup:

Springs should be here by Monday so I am aiming to try and install them on Tuesday with Kirk's help.

mr_sk 09-07-2011 11:25 AM
Nice dood, enjoy the G3s!

I feel you on the CO vs Springs - I want to go springs, but I'm afraid it'll be too low in the winter here in NY, and I hit the mountains a lot, so I think CO would be better ... can slam in the summer and jack up in the winter...though I'd prefer to spend less....

When you doing your spring install?

birdmanx1 09-07-2011 11:27 AM
Holy smokes, you got the G3s and springs :happydance:

If it's too much snow for me to drive while lowered here in MD, I'm skipping school/work that day since I still have the flexibility to do so.

Aiming for Tuesday for the spring install. Just sent the payment for the intakes :tup:

Sorry bro I couldn't resist. I got the need, the need for speed :driving:

Also thought it would be better to buy the bumper after winter and not put it through months of driving through snow and salty roads. I'll let the old one absorb all that abuse.

I was ready to buy the bumper until my cousin reminded me of that.

kirk=ironman because he's good at building/installing stuff and his Z sounds like it should be flying.

Masa 09-07-2011 12:09 PM
Let's get to work and start printing out decals we can put on our Z's so others can Identify us by our names. :p

:icon18: We need someone who's good with photoshop. Zuperman is already ahead of us with this.

Masa 09-07-2011 12:13 PM
It just hit me, instead of printed name decals... we get icons/symbols instead. Bert is the trendsetter with the Zuperman logo already.
