Well when you get the tax check you can say its "extra" cash you can use to mod your car without feeling guilty of spending money from each paycheck:tup:

Alright, since I'm all about justifying mods if that's what you use I'm aboard with it ;)

What is a tax return? I never get one of those.

Stillen Oil Cooler

I got a Stillen 19 Row Oil Cooler - Since I don't track the car, it's way more than I need. I actually have all but the four top rows blanked off with a plate so as to get the oil temp's up to 180 on cold days (in New Orleans, there's not many of those, but they do occur), and the oil temps stay at 200 during regular driving in the summer, and may hit 210 -215 during spirited driving. The magic happens when you do climb in oil temps, the cooling back to normal temps occurs pretty quickly.

At oil changes, I put in 5.5Qts of new oil now. This puts me right at the top line of the dipstick. I also change oil at or before 3K miles so as to keep realy dirty oil from being trapped in the oil cooler and contaminating my new oil. there's no easy way of draining the oil out of the oil cooler, so... Cheap insurance if nothing else...

My only regret is I did not get a Thermostatic Adapter Plate which would have negated the need for a blank plate stuck on the oil cooler... I would advise you to see about getting one of those.

Hope this helps.:tiphat:

Well, I'll be that guy. Save your money, even though im sure you will reply that you have money saved and this money can be blown, save it. Invest in your retirement account, 401k IRA anything. If by next tax return you still have money saved from now and what not then do it. But by then maybe you will want a new car and be glad you saved money...

I've seen several cars with clear bra and in every case, it looks pretty awful after ~2 years. It discolors to yellow and there will be a visible line across your hood. Also, it doesn't protect as wells as you'd think it does.

That too. Sad thing is, with the soft paint on the Z - chips are just a fact of life. Clear bra won't save you and may actually make matters worse. YMMV though. Just my personal taste.

Blow it on hookers and crack.....oh I mean FI exhaust, HFC and some G3's. Sometime's that inside voice just comes out....

Just got the price tag for my dual halo upgrade. Glad I put a little aside.
