Ok, what is your definition of car modification?

the subframe bushings and fluids and light bulbs and air filter all fall under the maintenance list too. The whole list is 1 mod, maintenance and lipstick.

So as spark plugs, brake pads, rotors and list goes on. No wonder some racing category wont let you run with specific set of tires. Common now, you are just being ridiculous now. I altered those things for a reason other than maintenance.
Seriously, your only feedback is those are not maintenance. Try again.

OP
If you're second guessing yourself about the money, you can look the other way on things like the non oem bulbs and the aftermarket diff cover, etc... I'm assuming you will not be tracking the car if you're going to pay that much for bulbs but then skimp on something like the intake. Don't forget to add in a tune also.

And if you ARE tracking the car, you will want to add an oil cooler. It's all about priorities I guess

I agree with you on diff cover because i may not need that after all. I actually ended up modifying that cover too because it was literally touching my exhaust so i had to grind the largest/outermost fin. I do plan on adding oil cooler and oil catch can in the future. Would that be over the top if this was not a track car but a daily?

Depends on where you are. I'm in Michigan and on 80 degree days I can get my oil to 220-230 with "fun driving" before I put the cooler on. After I put it on I couldn't get it past 190 (I haven't been to the track yet).

If you're spending on new Te-37, they should be in the most aggressive spec you can get

Which means SPL parts adjustable arms

Don't buy crappy sized TE's

I can only speak for myself, but your being trollish. Why would you ask total strangers if you wasted your money and then whine when you don’t like the answer? That’s a question only you can answer. You're being a ****.

Just saying....

What is your goal with the car? Daily driver, weekend toy, track slut? Honestly, the NA mod list for a Z is cat back, long tube intake, test pipes, oil cooler, sway bars and tune. Then decide what you’re doing with the car before you start buying suspension parts.
