Shumby, you have some beautiful eyes :)

I've not modded it, nor will I ever bother. Several reasons:

I already have more than enough hobbies to keep me busy.

If I wanted a faster/more expensive/better car I'd have bought one off the lot instead of d1cking around for years in my garage.

For some people, d1cking around for years in their garage is their hobby. To each their own.

damn i wanted to stay away from any mods as well..

I love d1cking around in my garage. It's the perfect escape.

:iagree:

Oh man...only if this was the off topic section...:stirthepot:

so....
 

My question is.....

If you have no interest in modding, why are you on this forum?

Aside from the camaraderie, the only useful purpose of forum creeping is to find out how to do this or that, or what to do next and has it already been done or how do I fix this issue etc.

Non-modders or non-DIY'ers would normally be talking to their service department...

just my :twocents:


ps: I'm still building my 'stock' car....

Here ya go...:tiphat:

Here's an idea: Create a sub-forum for Stock 370Z's where non-mod owners can unite.

Then, those of with mods can start a pool on how many threads there will be in that section.
Additionally, mods (I mean moderators) can ban anyone who posts about window tint or synthetic oil.

1. Learning about potential issues

2. Might find out about a mod I actually want to do (I did get a catback)

3. Learning about things that have been discussed at length already, like which oil to use

4. Seeing other peoples' modded cars. I appreciate mods, my BMW had engine mods/suspension/body kit/stereo/etc. I just don't want to live with the headaches of install issues, fit/finish issues, decreased comfort, etc. anymore for a daily driver.

I guess I'm not firmly in the "no mods" camp, rather, for now I just have the catback and I'm not interested in anything else at this time. I might do carbon fiber interior bits and stereo stuff later, but I certainly won't ever touch the wheels/suspension and likely not the engine bay either.

I'm buying a Ducati Diavel Carbon next month and I have a 911 Turbo. The Z is just a workday car for me, because I didn't want the maintenance and repair costs of an M3 nor did I want something like that sitting in courthouse parking lots while I'm working.

So what you're saying is, "I'm modded". :icon18:

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that 99.99% of the members on any kind of forum are "enthusiasts" of the forum's subject. The other .01% are spammers.
Even if a non-enthusiast needed to know about issues with their vehicle, they could go to the manufacturer's website or check the NHSTA database and skip the hassle of joining a community of enthusiasts.
With the exception of restoring a "numbers matching" car for Barrett-Jackson, I don't know any enthusiast who can resist putting their own personal touch on their car.

Dr. Evil, what does the roof spoiler do? First one I've seen on a Z. Just curious.

It keeps the roof from flying off. :icon17:
