That's true, I haven't ever heard of anyone with that combo.

Something else I forgot that I want lol: SEATS. I want sport seats that are reclinable and maybe some harnesses. Which means I need a harness bar.

I seriously do. There's a possibility that I might have a new job in my not-too-distant future. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. If it works out I'll almost double my income, so car parts would me a bit more abundant.

Or I might just start working a corner. I'm cool with whatever.

Dude I think I'm doing something g wrong because I thought I monetized my videos but I haven't gotten a cent from them, and I have a few thousand views total. I've been wanting to do the same thing, how to videos for our Z's. I also do headlight restoration on the side, but the only jobs I get right now are by word of mouth, I need to make up some business cards and start handing them out all over the place.

The key to making money on YouTube is doing videos that can have good targeted ads in them. Make sure you open it up to all kinds of ad types too. It really takes tens of thousands of views to make any significant money. I have one video that's done like 75,000 views in 2 months. Two or three like that with the right kind of content and you can make $400 a month easily.

Huck, get the oem bbk dude. It's something that will be useful when you run the dragon at Zdayz or go to the track. All the other stuff you want is just useless eye candy. :driving:

Honestly Zdayz is the only time I really need pure performance mods, so they're not super high on my list. I want a BBK, wheels and seats, and that's really all I need for track-oriented things. I'm really more about looks since the car already performs pretty well for my tastes. If it was a dedicated track car things would be different, but right now eye candy is what I want lol :yum:

I would get the thing you like the best or the biggest purchase item. Get those big items out the way you aways can save for the little things. if you track I would start with brakes.. I dont track that is why I have dumped twin turbo money in cosmetics..

:tiphat:

I would be all about the Shine Auto lip, but two friends of mine with 370's have it already, so I'm gonna go with something different.

I'm considering vented fenders, I like the look of those a lot.

When I get the akebono BBK I'll have them powdercoated pearl white :)

For the Evo-R mirrors, do you lose the motor to adjust them from the door switch? That's one thing I've never been clear on.

I like the look of the TK shift knob, but I cant justify $300+ on a knob lol.

Here's some of the items that I'm considering...

Amuse rep rear bumper and spoiler in CF...

Carbon Signal Raptor front bumper in CF...

Top secret lip CF...

VIS terminator hood CF everything painted PW except for the middle slats...

Or should I get an Akebono BBK?

Or should I get a bunch of small things? I'm thinking a 7" touchscreen HU, an Alpine VR9 5 channel amp, a Moddiction titanium shift knob, a Meguiare's DA buffer, a pressure washer to wash and suds the car, and mod my headlights (blackout, quad projectors, quad halos, quad demon eyes)

Entirely too many options, I'm gonna go crazy lol.

That's what everyone keeps saying, but the problem is that I want it all equally haha. I really want wheels the most but that will take some more time to save up for. I don't track, I really want the BBK partly for better braking but partly because the base brakes look piddley. It's like buying a Beautiful old school Nova and having a 4 banger motor in it.

Don't worry, I'm gonna have it powder coated white along with my strut bar.

Haha yeah yeah, when I get a better paying job and can afford track tires and an oil cooler and the brakes then I'll be all over it. Until then I'm stuck with broke and sexy.

Well something weird just happened. I went outside to get something out of the Z and looked at the plastic slats in the grill. all of the sudden I hated them, so I pulled out my sawl-zawl and cut it all out. Now I need to find some good looking mesh cause I have a huge open mouth in the front of my Z. Then I went to the hatch to get the item and the hatch got stuck, I had to push the button twice to get it open. Next thing you know I've ripped out all the interior plastic on the lid and pulled out that stupid weight, then I put it all back together. Opens fine for now.

Attachment 72476

One question. Does anyone know how to fix the two little holes on the sides of the mouth where the slats were? I was expecting that to be smooth lol. Now I gotta patch it somehow.
