Boy, have I been away from this forum. Turbo cars, new exhausts... and I'm sitting here in my SUV in the snow in Manhattan, KS. I really wish this snow would turn to 60 degree weather so I can take my Z for a spin again. With how much work I'm doing through summer I think I might change out Res TP for straight TP. Then get a tune and coilovers (maybe?). I'm wanting to do more performance mods but there's not much to do without spending some money... Maybe exterior mods? suggestions anyone? Evo-R fog light or something?

I have let my AWD car sit in garage during the snow due to the street tires. It does not do well in the snow. Tires are like slicks on ice.

If you are on a budget, go springs instead of coils. Don't do a tune until you have all your performance mods installed.

A little bit of tint and platidip go a long way.

The thing is I'm not sure how much more rasp I will have if I change from Res TP to straight TP. I have I believe 18" Resonators on my APEX'i and Res TP at the moment. It sounds nice but I kind of want it a tad bit louder when stepping on it. Not sure if changing from Res TP to straight TP will do anything. Also I forgot I could also get a Y-pipe but don't think that changes the tone of the exhaust much... Does it?
