Well it has been a while since I have updated so......... I had been experienceing some over heating so I have changed the t-stat out and that did not fix my issue.....So I decided to go all out...I have ordered a new water pump from MSA and am awaiting its' arrival. So in the mean time I have removed the radiator and I am sending it off to get flushed and checked out. When I pulled the water pump of of the car I realized that the one I had was still good , so now I will have a back up in the future when needed. To add a little pop under the hood I have sent off the pulley that was on the car to get chromed, as well as the hood prop, and the torpedo light as well....I figured while it was torn apart "why not"...I will post up some pics when I get all of the parts back and installed...... I have also replaced all of the spark plug wires on the car and that took care of my problem that I was haveing of miss-fires. I used MSD Super-conductor wires and routed them around the front of the motor to clean it up a bit. I am almost done with the mechanical part of the car....then it is off to the suspension and finally the body.......

the pics are from three different RX-7's I would want to see pics of it on a Z before I would even consider........

ummm they come in both so you are both correct...

1 tuff z is all of your stuff mechanical?

I would like to know as well......I will need to roll mine as well....

it's very real and a collector's item at that......

I am just seeing a red X

how did you get the Axis bolt pattern to work? I have always thought that we needed spacers or adapters to get these to work

I thought that these were going to fit without using a flare............

Jerryb sign me up!!!!when you decide to put wheels on that wagon of yours I am wanting to do this as a MUST on my car.......

ROVdriver, I like your water hose rack..........I am diggin' the Work's what is the bolt pattern you are using?

what flares did you use?

oh come on John what happend to driving by te seat of your pants....... Oh ye of little faith.....lol......

I am up and running with all of Tom's old mailers, magizine article from 1978 on TT and a few other things other than that I have no support

but what I want to konw is if anyone is going to make an of these in numbers for others to purchase?

I am in Humble... Well now that I have a tenative shopping list I shall start reading till my eyes go cross. I will be able to build the motor myself and all of the appropriate plumbing. The chasis work will have to be done by my uncle or a shop. I see this project kicking off in a year, but for now lots of parts research....... I still have my TT 240 and will try to finish up the mechanical glitches that I have on that before I start knee deep into this next one. I think I can at least get the block cleaned up, install the crank, and find a head and start the part sourcing for all of the above... Thanks for the help guys. I have been reading up on the different head design and I think I am starting to get it straight....

It would be as all around as possible. I would like to hunt supras, go to the track and show up my buddy at SCCA events, and have it be able to be driven on trips to Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio.......I know that I will have to give up certian things to accomplish others....that is a given..... I would have AZC coilovers, Wilwood kit (front and rear), strut tower braces, lower control arms, AZC mustach bar for a R200 or R230 rearend. I am not sure on the tranny.......It would have a ORIGINAL IMSA widebody kit. Carbonfiber hood Maybe fiberglass doors, the body kit and bolt-ons are already there on a shel I am looking at......

It is okay....I have the TT kit alive and well on the car....minus a few hickups ( needs new plug wires and a new t-stat) I started her up for the first time in a few weeks this past weekend. I am starting to think of this for another 240....Yes I have the bug, bad. So bad that I think I am going ot get another motor build going before I have a shell to put it in....I am trying to get the motor and drivetrain sictuated and then find a good shell. I know where I can get a unmolested 77....but it will be a while till I come up with the cash for it....I would like to build this motor in anticipation of this next Z.....I have a few hurdles to overcome before I purchase this car but I can at least have the motor waiting to go in.......

I have an oportunity to build a L28 motor...I want to go turbo and get some big numbers.......I am going to try and use a diesel crank so it will be a stroker (maxima crank). I will be getting the motor and crank for FREE....so from there I am not sure which way to go for a head, cam, pistons, turbo manifold, intake.....I have thought about a gt35r turbo and Mega squirt for now untill I can get ahold of a AEM unit or something similar..... What would you do........lol.......

I have hit 125 "dusting off" the cobwebs on the freeway a few times. I think the speedo is off though. I need to get a new one, the current (orig.) is really bouncing around quiet a bit.....

Looks as if you have a Eagle Talon in the garage as well...MY buddies old one did 10's all day long.....ofcourse it was AWD...but stupid fast

That car is in not in the U.S.........look at the surroundings...and the construction of the building in the background.....

olavsk, can you give anymore information on your suspension set up? What are you lowered on, springs and shocks? Coilovers? how rough is the ride?

that is a BIG fender gap you got there

you have WAY too much time on your hands........care to srop some of it my way to help me out.....
