I would agree with you after my test drive, it's going to be very difficult to leave stock. It just doesn't have that hold on for dear life feel. I've also purchased a GR Yaris RallyE and believe that pulls just as hard stock. What mods are you thinking of doing?Lol We were driving the same car I'm just used to faster better handling cars. Even my current daily just to tide me over is 350rwkw and that's still "ok" lol,
I've been corrupted, I race Karts and bikes, never really had something that was slow.
By all means it's decent and a great car and will suit more than most buyers as is, I know the platform an potential it has with a few tweaks to make it what I want
First up Tint, Catted DPs and exhaust, ECUtek tune, either stiffer lowered springs or coilovers. Then ill progressively add intakes and heat exchanger, discs, lines and pads, better tyres once the stock ones wear out. Probably sway bars and a short shifter. Few other bits and bobs along the way but the sound and a better tune is definitely first off the ranks to at least get around that 320rwkw, makes motives car alot more punchy and fun on the road getting rid of that dead spot in the torque curve. |
There's a few intakes, I'll be going with AMS and for most of the red alpha parts being as they have a lot of development for the Q50/Q60Haven't seen anyone release intakes yet specifically for the Z. Just the Nismo one so far. I've been holding out for those. Don't have the car yet either, but already amassing parts lmao
Any pics? The interior already has alcantara on the door insertsI'd just got for the Exhaust or Cat Back and nothing else... I tend to keep my car for 3-4 years and onto the next!
Although... Veilside did something nice with their interior trim... Alcantara looking inserts, where ever the colored leather was (not seating) more doors, center console and dash - I'd be keen to change those!
I've never heard of an exhaust system voiding warranty. Aftermarket tuning/fuel mapping though, absolutely.Mercedes-Benz didn’t have a problem with me changing out the exhaust for a straight pipe and asked them what voids warranty when I purchased the car. They said anything mechanical to the engine. So exhaust should be no problems!
