New Arrival

phdil · 09-26-2011, 12:23 PM

Just joined the forum guys. Just bought a 2010 370Z. I'm new to the car game and would appreciate any advice on where to start with beginner Mods etc.

Thanks

If you just bought it, why do you need to Mod it already? Drive it for awhile and then research on this site under the search mode for mods based on what you want to do with the car, i.e. drag race, autocross, road course, shows.

Congrats!

I'm not really a car enthusiast, but I know what I like to see and hear. When I get home I'll probably get some springs or coilovers(still trying to figure out the difference), to drop the car about an inch. Exhaust, but nothing annoying and I don't want to change the note too much and some spacers; I don't want the wheels too flush, I just don't want then to look so sunk in. That will probably be all I ever do to the car, but thats the same thing I said about my bikes.... thousands of dollars later...

I've been reading the suspension section of the forum a lot lately. There is a lot of info on the site already, you could probably find the answer to most of you questions by searching.

Ive actually had it since June! I love the feel but would like to better the sound a little. I would prefer nothing really loud but would like to hear some bite if you know what I mean. I would also like a little more power as well.

Intakes, HFCs or test pipes and catback are the way to go!

Welcome!

Pictures?!

I did exhaust work first as you can't own one of these cars and not want to hear the wonderful growl of our engines.

Yea I tried this. I'll just get the intake. Well since I have the intake I might as well get the exhaust. Oh crap me and my friends are going to the track so I should get test pipes just to get as much power as I could. Now I need to tune her LOL.

Congrats on the car.
