So wait...did you win??

Details? Any thing else happen?

Sweet...What spring weights you running?

....Josey: look left ....no cops...look right... no sherrif....tighten up testies....NOS!!! The car "looks" fairly stable at high speeds. On camera anyway. Like no wobbel of the steering ect...cool video!! Cars wicked!

Pipe wrench for the win. Ive had to use a full on torch (oxy/set) to heat the gland nut area on the tube to remove it on some resto. projects. Im about to dive under the car to check on my nuts and bolts. Ill post if i find anything.

Thanks tnt823 for the feedback! Im glad my thread was good enough to read to the end! Update. Nothing huge. But im glad its done. I installed the JTR intake i had layen around. After installing it, I ran the car long enough to kick on the fan and my god the poor motor was just sucking in so much hot air! Not any more! I also polished up the tubes a bit. Hit them with the bench grinder wire wheel and then scuffed them diagonal with corse steel wool to make a nice pattern/finish. Oh yea i also installed some Dapper lighting modern projectors! AND THEN THERE WAS LIGHT!!

Wow that's damn scary. Good choice on new rails. Stock rail works but never liked the look or how it had that push on fitting. I have three on my filter and they seem cheezy. Looken great!

^^^^Is this in street/autocross mode or drag?

Ls for the win. You can get cheap 5.3s or 4.8s. I got my 5.7 from a wrecked camaro. If you can get a whole car that was say rear ended. You would be set. Keep the essential swap parts and part out the rest of the car. Also read a few build threads. That will get the gears turning!

Wow thank you all for imput! What do you all think of these? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/rik-90296/overview/

Looken to get a set of new tires. Will be 245's on a 16' rim. What are you all having luck with? Like being able to put the power down? I have a Ls1 swap and I'm looking to get something that will hook up good on the street.Any input on this would be awesome. Goods bad. Thanks!

Heres a bit of a update on the project. I installed some front clear turn signals. Ive got some clear markers on the way too. Also some projectors. Decided to dress it up a bit.

Watch dyno fails on YouTube ..Lmao...OK maby after. Sorry I'm not helping ....

PLATA I like the red marker lamp up front. Way to be different

Check out the thread in the for sale section. SunnyZ has two one open one welded for 200 shipped. I doubt you will find a r200 "LSD" for 200$ They are about 700-900$ On the average.

Ill get a few good pics tomorrow of the full car. Ill see if i can find some good back grounds around here!!

Domzs: Well I hate to dissapoint but im not going to do the flares. I taped off the fenders and layed them up. I liked to look but honestly felt like i needed to drop the car about 2 inches to make them look right IMO. As of right now I have zero issues with the tires im using. Also I have about 4-5 inches of oil pan clearance. Soooo In exchange for peace of mind about my oil pan ill just leave it as is. I like the beef-cake look. Maby later down the road Ill install them. gtslo88: Thanks bud! I always enjoy having people reading my build thread. I remember reading other peoples build threads for this exzact build think man one day ill be able to start mine. Now im driving mine almost everyday! Going to the bank has never been so fun!! Just start some where! Lil by lil you will get it going! Keep motivated and read threw this forum and ls1 tech along with google search! thedarkie: Yea I would of regreated it as soon as it drove away. Im glad i dident and i honestly wasent going to sell it. I was just curious what somebody would offer. Sounds like a mean ride you have! Well I did manage to get a few things done on my z. First of all I got a nice XENON front air dam. Best price around new is from Black Dragon Auto. checked z store and ebay. Just left it black as im going for the black on white look. Install went easy and great. Only complaint is that they should of included better install hardware. I ended up buying new longer bolts, more washers and nylon lock nuts. After I got that all I did was vise grip it in place and I used a small spray paint can for models and sprayed the holes to marks where to drill. Worked great. Drilled the holes and boom it was on. Swapped over the turn signal lamps and I was done. I also just got my clear lenses for my front turn signals. Havent installed them yet so no pics. I did have to remave the bumper to remover the stock airdam. Which is in great shap so if anybody needs it LMK. Anyways. I decided to shave the bumper. I removed the two uprights that are in the middel of the bumper and the rubber trim. I plan on welding the holes and having the bumper re chromed one day but for now its fine in my book. I love how it looks. The wheel and the airdamn make the z go from grandpas car to mean machine. After that was done I turned my attention to my interior. Which has been out since the swap. I made a cover for the stock "lower" gas fill tube hole. Which really cut down on noise.. I painted all the rear plastics black and bought new rivets. I used some other tower leathers I had from another car. The original ones were faded and eaten by the sun. All in all it went well. Damn plastics are so brittel though its a tuff job getting them in and out without damaging them. I plan on painting everything red in the car black asap. Not much of a fan of the red. But hey its betten the butterscotch or white haha..

.35-.40 YEA BUDDY! makes me wanna do some crossen.

Make shur you using the highest grade bolts you can get for the CV's.

yea we got one. thanks ja1991

I got one from borino for 100 shipped.

Sounds like the master cylinder seal are leaking. Good luck at the track buddy!

THE BUILD BUG RETUNRS! I had a bug just to see what somebody would give me for my z. Highest offer was 10k. Not too shabby. Anyway that bug was eaten and crapped out by the build bug. I had these wheels layen around from a previous 240 i had. I installed some bigger springs in the back and when i set it down the ride height was kinda high so i said f it il see if i can fit my wheels..Well with slight modification i got em on and working. Heres some pics. Also picked up some bad ass floor mats from a friend that had a z once apon a time. The pics are crap but you get the idea. I have a nice airdam on the way along with flares. If they get here soon enough ima try and install everything this weekend. I even got some welting on the way also for that clean look. Wanted to get a nice duck tail but not enough funds... Will take some pics forshur. Any imput of how to fasten the flares? Nuserts? Rivets? Tips, Tricks? Ive read and read but you can never have enough info!
