I do not drive a cayman. It says Grand Cayman. That is a place.

my z is completely stock and will stay that way. all my mods that i have spoke of here and in my journal are 100% photoshopped.

cooltoy has made me look like a OG on the forum with his incredible photoshop skills

Truth. However, Jlo just purchased/is in the process of installing an electronic blow off valve that will make noises through his radio that is in-sync with his gas pedal...busted! No longer a virgin...

I just put my short tails on yesterday...def loud. Too loud? eh possibly, but i think anything is better than the doo doo stock sound

Amuse370z · 03-24-2014, 07:06 PM

Just don't make any permanent mods to the car... You can always "mod" it back.

onzedge · 03-24-2014, 07:25 PM

I herein pledge to keep all of my Z's free of modifications.

Wait.

Oops.

I was able to pick a babied 2011 Z with about 12,000 miles (~20,000kms) on it. It still smells like a new car inside.

I've added K&N drop ins... But I am on the fence to go further. I am tracking two packages for delivery with my H&R 15MM wheels spacers for the rear, and a set of AAM short tails. (Easily removeable bolt ons I figure).

The spacers I will do for sure, but the AAM's might sit in the box for a while. I can't even bring myself to tint the windows.

Anyone else in this club where they just want to preserve it the way it is?

BTW I have washed my car twice since picking it up on Tuesday and I have also waxed and detailed it.....

I'd get the suspension n brakes done though.

Koni yellow

Swift spec R springs.

Sway bar of your preference. (I chose eibach)

I had gone with the full stoptech brake 370z sport upgrade kit.

Drop in filters do wonders.

And FINALLY... An exhaust. The Z comes with loser sound.

Those small but essential mods made the Z feel like what it looks like. An amazing top line sports car.

Happy driving

Why the need for a stock Z thread I don't know. Let's face it. The Z can always be made to look better, sound better, drive better. I get the spirit of preservation but why? Collector value down the road? Many and I mean many will not keep their Zs anyway. And for those who do (keep and mod their Zs), fill their garages with their OEM parts.

HEK · 06-17-2018, 04:50 PM

lol, I have done a few mods, CAI, lighting and rear fog lights that is it, funny thing a guy from work said he saw me in his town which I have not driven to in ages because he said I know it was you, the same mods, red calipers....

old guy · 06-17-2018, 05:18 PM

I've really no interest in any "serious" mods. & I plan to keep the Z for at least 10 yrs. or longer.
Did some drop in filters, thinking about fog light & possibly a low key exhaust and that's it.
IMHO this car is more car than I've had.... ever and I'm quite satisfied, but I'm 62 soooooo
I'm mellowing out quite a bit

ramoszx12r · 06-17-2018, 09:55 PM
