OK so i am kinda stuck.I have a 95 Zenki and i dont really know what i want to do to it next.When i got it i had all the brake pads and rotors replaced. New fluids, spark plugs, etc... I have a Kaaz 2 way lsd.JIC Magic coilovers.ACT stage 3 clutch.I dont really want wheels, because 16 inch tires are too expensive for me. I was thinking maybe a bucket seat, but i am 6'1 and i have a sunroof. Let me know guys.Thanks.

whats next?

go to the freakin' track and drive
ur in socal

theres a million events for you

khilgers · 09-17-2007, 07:04 PM

if 16" tires are too expensive for him, then track time is probably not financially possible. I would say maybe look into getting a better braking setup, z32 swap, junkyard parts you can usually get a way with it pretty cheap. Also maybe consider some better tires before a bucket seat.

OptionZero · 09-17-2007, 07:31 PM

if you can't afford 16 inch tires ,the next step is to get a fuckin' job

bman · 09-17-2007, 07:36 PM

haha thanks guys. I am in college in North Carolina right now, and i play baseball for the school so no job. I get a lot of money from my grandparents though for christmas. GIve me some more ideas please...

nissandr1ft · 09-17-2007, 08:12 PM

rear arms? bushings? exhaust?

bman · 09-17-2007, 08:19 PM

I was thinking about exhaust. I have a KA so would it really do me any good.I am definitley going to get rear control arms.Thanks guys

614duece40 · 09-18-2007, 08:44 AM

go drive that bitch, you have plenty enough parts on it to have fun.

!Zar! · 09-18-2007, 03:05 PM

So you're looking to spend money on parts but not the track?

Ugh.

Blackparade · 09-18-2007, 03:13 PM

sell it and get a civic.

D1GP · 09-18-2007, 03:25 PM

so many fun parts that would shine on the track

mizizax · 09-18-2007, 03:28 PM

sell the 2way put in a welded

use the few hundo you get from the kaaz to buy some tires and go crash into some shit

Blackparade · 09-18-2007, 03:30 PM

yea crashing is fun.
The trick is to crash a whole side versus just one corner!
so much fun!

bman · 09-19-2007, 01:08 PM

If i had time to drive on a track i would!!

chester_ff7 · 09-19-2007, 01:16 PM

what about power? get an Apexi SAFC and tune your ride... and by the way.... where are you shopping for 16 inch tires? cause i have 18s and thats a pretty penny!! 16s are not that big of a deal... but if all else fails... get the Z32(300z) calipers and run it!

In this case you don't need anything for this car

Just do MANDATORY maintenance stuff only

Don't modify your car at this point until you have a source of income

And even if you have income, do mods because you REQUIRE them (and be realistic about it)

Don't just mod a car grocery list style

This isn't a rat race, do it at your own pace and for your own best interests

Does your exhaust work? Yes? Then no need to buy exhaust right now since you have no money

If you have 16's, I highly doubt you NEED rear control arms

Your stock arms should have more than enough adjustment

A bucket seat with the proper rail will give you MORE headroom than you currently have

But again, since you have no job and are in school, stop worrying about what you need to do to the car and focus on school instead

Go hit on girls

Cars are a waste in college LOL

UfoZ8myCow · 09-19-2007, 04:15 PM

Do what Logan said... College is for getting laid/drunk and occasionally stumbling into class.

Then when you graduate and get a job just give Logan your credit card number. Im sure he'll hook you up with everything you need. And a lot of stuff you dont. But youll still be a baller, because he literally swims across the Pacific on a weekly basis to bring us the freshest JDM goodness.

burnsauto · 09-19-2007, 04:26 PM

+1 for logans advice. trust me, i've dumped a shit load of money into my car while going to school...but i had to pull off two jobs to do it. enjoy the years while you got them.

you've got some decent mods to the car already, so it should be plenty fun for now. granted you wont be the fastest thing out there...but no one is, lol

I'd bank grandmas money, interest is a beautiful thing.
