Sorry young man, but a 16 year old who lists a 2014 Range Rover as his ride isn't getting any "cheap mod" advise from me.....

Consider this thread hijacked! Sorry OP!

Trying to help though...

Most of us start with catbacks but those aren't 'cheap'. You should get highflow cats as well but again... $.

Get a tune if you don't have a Nismo. That will get you 20hp but, you guessed it... $.

Stillen Gen 3-ish intakes add a little more hp.

For cornering get a set of Swift lowering springs. Fantastic value. I need coilovers but will miss mine I know.

You can also get front sways that will help.

The fact is that a Z is a pretty good all around sports car...and is a V6 on top of it.

To really make any movement you need a supercharger or better but more expensive...twin turbo. Supercharger for autocross and daily. Twins for drag racing and track. IMHO.

Just messing with 'ya.

Nothing comes cheap when it comes to mods. Lots of great value mods but not cheap. The most enjoyable and noticeable mod among the many I did was an exhaust, suspension, and a tune.
