Spot on. That's also why many of us started this project with the 6MT, RWD Sport Package.

I never considered my G a "luxury car". Not for a moment.

Very well said.
I try to tell everyone that there is a reason for every stock nut and bolt on every car and people should consider those reasons before replacing anything.

Ride and aesthetics are very subjective and I caution everyone not to just do what other people like. On the flip side, many of us are chasing the same unicorn... power, handling, and that little bit of sports car harshness that we remember from cars past, or always wanted to have in our youth.

Luckily almost everything can be reversed, and you are very likely to find someone on this forum that will gladly take your lightly used parts off your hands!

Happy Modding
Amen to that

Never seen the light again so it must be doing well.

It's easy to over oil, as such, K&N filters. I have yet to experience a check engine light from a MAF sensor contamination using K&N filters in two different G cars and a Z. After cleaning and drying, lightly oil and let it soak/spread and reapply if necessary. I usually reinstall my paper filters while going through the cleaning process as it takes over night from them to dry properly after cleaning before re-oiling.

What if I wanted to do the following mods: wiseco piston combo, stillen spc, stillen grounding kit, stillen max energy, stillen pulley, aam competition true exhaust, z1 high flow cats, lowering springs and adding some sway bars, a torque converter and valve body, racing battery and some light weight reduction, a flash tune. Lastly orbis wheel tire kit. Is this an over kill lol? I know by adding a piston combo, it opens up to more hp and torque. The max that a stock engine could hold on a g37 is 600hp.

Spent a few minutes falling down the memory hole with this thread, and that was pretty cool.

You know what's missing from the top post? Short gears in the rear differential. It's not an increase in HP exactly, but it sure is a HP modification, shifting power down low. Love my 4.083 rear gear ratio!

Wow, you just created 10 new comments in one day so that you could make a FS thread!



And while that's undeniably true, so is your comment. There is fantastic info here, and probably the one post that has the most likes throughout the entire forum.
