Mods for when I get home next...
Well, I had my G35 for a week and a bit, before I had to depart, and leave her sat in her garage, alone, weeping until my return in 4 or 5 weeks... So, in the meantime I have a few things to get for her, as a bit of a belated apology. Her resilience, and loneliness should have some sort of reward for the stately lady.
Anyway, I digress... First things first is the motordyne spacer that everyone seems to be ecstatic about. Just wondering, but is the copper isothermal one worth the extra bucks, or shall I just stick to the cheap one, made out of wood, and biscuits? I'm gonna go for the 5/16ths jobby, purely as folk say this is better for low down power, which I prefer.
Next on my list is the OEM Z-tube thingy-ma-jig. Seems to make sense, and to be honest, filters seem to be a mixed bag, I'll probably just stick with the oem filter, unless someone shouts at me, or threatens me with a gun, or something.
The third one I plan is for the coupe midpipe, which again, seems to want to make people butter themselves up about, which I'm all for, unless it's blokes, in which case I pass.
Now, these seem to be the standard starting jobbies that folks go for. I will be 'upgrading' my brakes at some point, (no, not forking out a million bucks for a slightly bigger disc, and some calipers that have some sort of brand festooned across it's housing. I'll be going the sensible route, and getting good discs, pads, fluid, and braided hoses).
Anything else you can think of???

From what I read when I was looking at MD spacers, the copper versions only help when you're in colder climates. Not sure of the temperature thresholds, but I believe it's on the MD site somewhere.
Definitely look into sway bars.....I'd say that that's my favorite mod so far on my G.

You sir earn the award for the most British person ever to exist.
Forthwith, I must bid you a fond adieu and resolve the evening for its best tidings.
Your post is hilarious.
