Weekly Dos and Donts of Modifying

Hello BZOCAs and readers, leaving a ride in stock condition is hard to accomplish by. Even by adding a turbo timer would consider as messing with the ride already. Here at BZOCA, asking and giving suggestions to each member's next mod has become a ritual. Sharing thoughts and ideas on how they want their Zs to be, does require a second or a third opinion. The moddifying scene are full of both good and bad modifications on a particular ride.

Hence the intro of "Weekly Dos and Donts of Modifying" is posted whereby each week, a "Do" and a "Dont" of modifying in general is shared. Bare in mind this is just a guideline, it may or may not be useful but its good to share. This week's:

Do: Spend Most money on tyres


















This applies to all the rides out there. The very best tyres that you can afford is the way to go as tyres are the most important components to any ride. It is the main contact patch of your ride to the road.

Decent tyres will improve your ride in term of its handling, braking power and a few other aspects. However expensive tyres does not mean its good. Therefore do your research and ask your friends on the tyres they have used before.


Dont: Compromise your safety













(Pic from my350z.com)

Once your on the road, safety is the main priority. You may be the most carefull driver on the road, however the drivers around you may not. Installing a full point roll cage, a quick release steering or changing bucket seats may be on the next to do list of a modder. But do bare in mind that the ride you bought do come standard with optional features that other cars do not have (i.e side and seat airbags), and you have paid for it.

Main point is, give it a good thought before installing anything that might compromise your safety and your passenger.


Thats all for this week, enjoy your weekend and drive safe.

MuscularZ: Dua2 good brand, jgn th watir, asal masih ada thread left. Bad brand tyres can blow or sacrifice your Z's handling and performance especially kalau kn begagas ke KB haha ;)... org2 yg tertentu sj phm tuuuu

Znie350Z: You can ask our fellow member BO$$ for good rates on tyres. May I suggest you look at bridgestone adreneline. I have used that on my stock rims before and was good enough to replace the RE030A.

I think the Falkens can make alot of road noise... I'm running them right now and I adjusted the toe so it would wear in properly, it really gets on my nerves!

I'm thinking the time to get a new set will be sooner than later :( group buy?

Yeah why not organise a group buy? Maybe Jeff can help hook us up with a great deal, or someone else can hook us all of us up with a good deal.

Win win for everyone, one way or another :D

Like one of our friend says, "Sharing is Caring"

haha :)

kalau tayar dapan pakai tayar jambatan batu jenis adrenaline n tayar belakang pakai michellin upilot atu cemana kesnya? Do atau Dont?
= DO, no probs. As long both of each tyre have the same tyre tread. But, if possible get all 4 same pattern.

= Group Buy, no probs at all. As i say b4, i will help in anyway i can. Just give me the sizes and will work from there. I probs guess, common sizes, 245/35 & 285/35 - 19. But the 20's you have to tell me your size.
