Car is clean.
Heres my .02 cents:
Dont mod your N/A it honestly wont be worth it.
Save your money and buy a top swap kit, either find the parts at a Junk Yard or better yet find the parts here, on this website in the "For Sale" section.
Use your money to top swap your car and then go from there.
But the best idea out of them all, go turbo. With roughly $2500 you can buy yourself a Z3 Turbo kit. <------ thats the best route to go. Either top swap or turbo. Dont mod the N/A.
Thanks for the feedback.Quote:

Exactly! I'd rather buy parts that were specifically designed for the car over anything else, it looks a lot better that way!Quote:

If you are careful with your research, you can mod. your N/A with parts that will still work with a top swap. But definitely make sure your car is solid b4 you mod.
Where's the pics of the headers, rockers, ported heads, etc?
They are in my thread "new to modding...
You better link me, I don't like looking for stuff.
What about the supercharger kit on the wbody store?
Two things.Quote:

I don't see how boost for $1,400-$1,500 could possibly be a waste of money. Great quality parts, one hellova fun project, and +50whp is music to my ears.
well considering you can buy a top swap for about 500 and if you are spending that much id just go turbo
Because you can junkyard shop and do it for a third of the price, that's why.
I'm sure all WBS is sending you are refurbished parts.

Yep. This place is great for buying cars, not so much modding them.Quote:

Depends on shape of transmission and driving style.Quote:

About as far as you would with an M90.Quote:
