Looking Into APS ST Kit--Suggestions Please!

So I'm a newbie and I have this odd obsession with modifying my stock for speed (I think I'm going through my quarter life crisis ). I've driven two different cars with turbos and they're just so much more fun! I'm looking into the APS ST kit (still doing the homework). Any suggestions or critisms for the daily girl driver? I'd really appreciate it.. thanks!

Just keep in mind that this kit will not be CARB certified by APS. I originally wanted this kit, but being in CA, CARB certification is a must for me.

where in the bay area are you from, SF?

Anyway... it was funny to read this, as no one ended up giving you any real advise on teh ST kit. If oyu have anything specific in mind, i'm sure we'd all comment on it.

Yeah... Bruce's APS TT 350Z is a force to be reckoned with. It will be interesting to see how your car will perform against his after your TT install.

Check out 350zmotoring.com, I thinks it's STL Lightning on the forced induction forum is still selling his APS ST from the group buy. Maybe it can be bought for a good price.

thanks thanks

sorry for such a late reply--

anyway so ive done my research and i was thinking about it real hard.. turbo would just be a waste for me.. some pros and many many possible cons (im a daily driver; not like i would put it on the track). plus i dont need the extra attention.. hahah.

so ive decided to just stick with the basics: new shoes (volk progressiv spoke) and suspension (tein basic). that should be enough for me.. at least for awhile.

thanks again for all the responses!

anotherg35: let me know how your TT goes.. id love to hear how it purrrs after install.

haha.. i do have pictures of my car but its not worth showing since everything is still stock. i'll probably get them by the end of summer.. im still debating about the suspension.. not sure what to get.. springs/shocks combo or for the hell of it coilovers (i want to do everything at once). going with teins for sure. when i finish i'll definately show her off. btw i dig your color.

i really need to stop hanging out with boys who like to modify their cars and have the money for it. and i need to stay away from this forum.. its just feeding my unhealthy appetite.
no offense boys!
