Just go to these guys if you're going to spend $3500, they're in Dallas too. http://www.dallasexportsales.com/377LB.htm

We used to have an 82 ZX with the smoked headlight covers, but we had to remove them at night when using the car. No big deal, our covers only had one screw to remove. 8) As far as getting pulled over for having them during the day, never happened. Of course they just passed a bunch of new laws as recently as a couple of months ago, now you cant even have license plate brackets that block small parts of your plate. So all i can say is beware.

I wish we could get that bumper/spoiler treatment. 8)

NO! you risk burning out whatever the fusible links were designed to protect in the first place. Using regular wire will just make them red hot and burn out whatevers next in line. You can use fusible links of the same value and splice them in but dont use regular wire. 8)

DX-entry level car LX-4 dr. with DX equiptment plus options like automatic, CD player etc. EX-better engine, more options, also leather HX- Usually well equipped, geared towards more fuel economy with CVT transmission. "Special Edition" Usually a spiffy'd up LX because it's the last year that body design and has power windows, locks, etc. and they try to dump all the left over crap they have on the shelves. In essence they made a Value Package so you wont wait till the new body style comes in, because they know most people wait to buy the newer styles. In the Japanese case every 4-5 years The letters themselves dont stand for anything. ......I think.

Woo Hoo!!!!

I got rid of the woman and got a basset, kinda like this.http://www.basset-bhca.org/

Is there paint on the gap between the left driver side spoiler and the deck near the end or is that just an optical illusion? Looks kinda ~ Cant wait to see it painted.

Man! what a drivetrain, i always wondered what happened to that one. Keep em' nervous 8)

Make sure that the car is a Caprice CLASSIC or Caprice Classic LTZ or SS and Cop car Caprice because they are the only ones with the LT1 in them....at least i think they are. The regular caprice came with 305 in the earlier ones and 4.3 later. The 5.7 came in the Classic only and the earlier LTZ which became the SS later.

I bought mine running and had 4 flats and in better condition for a $100 but it was a 75 Z . Just offer him a $100 and tell him your taking a risk by just buying it. It looks like it was already gone over for some of the good parts already. Most of the parts missing can be bought from the salvage yard if your lucky. I bought a whole dash with gagues and wiring behind it, carpet, gas tank rubber flap weather stripping, all for $40. So it depends if your willing to work your butt off for it go for it, but if you can find a better Z go that route.

Engine looks great! But isnt that the Z that was on E-bay with a different drivetrain in it? Just wondering.

video was ok, music awesome, although in the beginning if you listen closely there was a Filipino lady calling Ed to tell Jackie something.

The resonators will help cut the drone but mainly the droning noise comes from the muffler choice. Maybe bigger resonators? Although i dont know if resonators cut into HP numbers.

Gotta love that ladder though!

Owen, Instead of wrapping the starter with a heat shield try using just a plain old heat shield. Basically a piece of metal in between the heat source and the starter. I went through a similar thing with my Trans Am then i just put the factory heat shield plate back and it stopped doing it. Another thing is make sure the starter is shimmed correctly. I hope it helps.

Are you sure they were'nt shooting the Fast and the Furious 3?

As some of you know i run a laundry mat, a few years ago i was fixing a jammed candy machine. A 9 year kid walks in, puts his clothes in the dryer and starts playing with the coin return on the candy machine. Then as i was about to get to the machine all the clogged change came out. I tell the kid the same thing "I tell him "that's not your money, please give it back to me." Of course he tells me the same thing too (him): no, I found it, finder's keepers. So what am i going to do beat up a 9 year old? I let it fly and make sure the machine works, then as i was going back to my office to clean up i notice he had dollar bills rolling around his dryer. So I said " Heyyy lookee here," i got a total of seven dollars out of his dryer. Of course he started telling me that the money was his and so i basically told him " no, I found it, finder's keepers" So i told him you give me my money back and ill give you yours. The problem was the fat little F*#k already bought two candy bars and ate the them. So he told on his mom, i told the mom what happened, she slapped him on the back of his head and told him off. Then i gave the money back to the mom behind his back to teach him a lesson. After that when the kid even found a nickel on the floor he would let me know about it.

Way to go!

The show was a replay to begin with, just keep an eye out they always recycle the shows three or four times a season.

Try to behave yourself this weekend.

I have ceramic brake pads and have noticed not as much dust, braking seems about the same though.

I love bubble tea! Oh good race and find too! KidVid: I only watched Initial D in Japanese and read english Subtitles. Good story and animation though.

In other countries the Z kept on going the ZX only came in later, in the US 1979 was the first year for the ZX. .....i think 8)

I had a friend who had a pager alarm and lived on the second floor of his apartment building. His pager went off, he peeked out the window to see the door of his 86 Trans Am open with some person in it, grabbed his gun and half way down the stairs he could hear his car cranking. By the time he got down the thief saw him, he started firing, guy zig zagged and jumped head first into an awaiting car. He knows he hit the car but the police never found them. Damage, cracked smacked dab in the windshield, probably because his hand slipped when he popped the column and the steering column was messed up. Lesson, he never got the thieves but they sure never messed with his car since that evening. Also a pager alarm wont do you any good if youre to far away from your car because by the time you get their, they're gone, freaking thieves are that quick.
