I live in jacksonville, really not too many mods in store for the future. I am quite happy with the performance. I am just gonna put rims and tires and a slp front ram air box/lid and some headers and h pipes. I think the car is plenty past and I am gonna drive it daily, no need to have a track car or start breaking stuff.

Welcome! I'm only 30 mins from Jacksonville in Havelock. You're stationed @ Lejeune I'm assuming. Nice Z man. Check out www.rwhp.us It's a local (to our area) site good for finding local meets and get to know some of your neighbors. Again, nice car!

Good luck with car. I just bought a 98z with 73,000 but unfortunitely mine didn"t come with aftermarket exhaust like yours. Cost me $5.000 off ebay. All those mods you listed sounds like a good amount of goodies. Go easy on the streets, be safe. John

That's what I thought too, but I started down the "modification path." Get some subframes first and some lower control arms.
