Message First thing you need to do is set out some definite criteria on what you want your dream car to be. Then you have to look at your Z and figure out why it doesn't measure up, and what particular areas where it doesn't measure up. By going through this process, you are less likely to waste money on the wrong mods. Also realize that modifying a car involves trade-offs, just like designing the original car. Everything involves compromises.

Also think about why you are modifying your car. People tend to modify a car for one of 3 reasons:
1. To enhance what is right about the car.
2. To fix what is wrong with the car.
3. To be "different" and to personalize the car.

Concentrate on number 2 before tackling number 1. With a car like the Z, you have a good chance that your mod will actually be a downgrade. The Z32 is a remarkably good car as it is, and is a wonderful balance of speed, luxury, handling, and reliability. Be careful messing around with it.

As far as number 3, just remember: Many people who want to be "different" actually do it to fit in and be like everyone else.

OK, enough of my ramblings. Time to go to bed.
