Re: Ideas for an 01 Z24???

if Money's no issue sell that and buy a m3 and since its not a issue buy me one too. hell buy every body one on here.

let the car get air in and out first one of the best mods over looked is rubber that will help as much as any thing no matter what the car is you have to put the power to the ground .
