- - Stopping the mods... (http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-general-discussions/79570-stopping-mods.html)

I only stop modding when I think I'll be selling the car soon. But not once do I wish I bought a luxury or hybrid car like some of the posts in this thread. Besides making my gf and I comfy, sports cars are the main reason I work. Maybe I have some problem where reality won't set in for me, but luckily I have never fell into any sort of financial trouble because of it.

Ah shut up! You're so ******* annoying!

Interesting perspectives. Glad I'm not the only one. And it's not that I lose interest in the car itself - just in modifying it. Like I'd love to do some of the CF interior trim, but then I think, 'Well, I could take that $500 & do something else.' Where if I did it when I first got the car I wouldn't have give it a second thought.

please elaborate on wat you did with the $500 you just saved... :icon17:

I just wanna see what the next gen z will look like/be. Then I'll probably fall in love with it and save up money/ stop modding.

I've had mine for 3 years. I am actually more in love with my Z now than I was when it was brand new. My level of interest in my previous cars definitely had the opposite trend.

I haven't really done much since I got a tune and some new front rotors and pads and some laps at the track back in June. However, a recent thorough detailing and a TWM short shifter install last weekend, has got me going again. RJM clutch pedal assembly is next on the list :excited: (too bad I think it's going to be Christmas before I get it :()

Regardless of mods, we've put over 40K miles on the Z, enjoying every minute. The Z is my cup of coffee every morning :driving:

Couldnt agree more! While i wish to go out and buy all types of cr*p for my Z, i cant because of other priorities and expenses. Detailing the car myself has definitely help me from going bankrupt, although some moolah is slowly being saved up on the side :stirthepot:

Stopping the mods...

For me modifying its a hobby, automobiles in general are a passion. Will i get tired of modding? Maybe. Will I lose interest in nice cars in general? Hell no.

I guess i just have a more "OEM" taste where The only parts I care about changing are pretty much just wheels and exhaust and a drop. The rest I don't really care too much, just as long as my Z is unique than another Z on the road im good.
