First off how is it running? Anything that seems off? Are you looking for performance or just looking to make the car more reliable? Its a non turbo so an intake wouldn't really make a noticeable difference. I would do maybe injector rebuild, differential oil change. transmission oil change. Some goodridge brakelines. If your plugs aren't oem i would buy some from the dealer. Thats all i can think off that would be less than 140 bucks.

$140? how about a tank of gas and an oil change. that should take care of $140.

Well, any spare money should be spent on maintenance first. Has the timing belt been changed? If not, you will need more than $140 to do it right, but if your tensioner pulley and idler pulleys are in good shape, that would take care of the belt and a couple of seals.

funny thanks for that unpresidented advice... I have a full tank and royal purple in my Z currently, but why not drain it all and throw some fresh fluids in anyway, eh? (btw that would be about $85 so what else would you do with the leftovers?)

I was thinking the timing belt too, just wanted to hear others opinions on what they would do if they had a little change to spend on theyre Z.

maintenance is the best way to go, thats what i did.

idk $140 doesn't go very far with a z. seems everything you do there is "while you are in there" type upgrades and spending that adds up fast. i'd just save it or buy some maguires cleaning products.
