shells, runners, modded, project...little more info would help

Yea i just flick the ******'s in "bro" trucks off that have the 12" lifts and mommy and daddy supplied 20" wheels and 38+"tires to make up for their small genetalia....and its the FOG LIGHTS in their bumpers with HIDS that are killing my eyes the headlights are wayyyy over my car, even more so because my car is pretty low
Thats a 4" brillow pad about an inch shorter than a coke can, for reference

for shear feel and control...go manual, and ofcourse its lighter, im not gonna argue a number, but weight is weight. Then again the 79s are the lightest zx's and the only ones with manual steering (that i know of) But theres also less pieces (less to replace/again MORE weight) from the power rack vs manual.
Lets just say i swapped my old 80 stroker zx from power to manual, and i have an extra manual rack laying around for myself or someone else that appreciates it. Also im 5 10 and 140-150#s....it doesnt take that much to turn a damn wheel you pansies...and remember a v8 with aluminum heads is lighter than the stock L6 and with most kits, sits back to the firewall for a better distribution/takes weight off the front of the car and shifts it back some. Not to mention big wheels/tires make it harder to turn a wheel vs more motor/weight up front.

and i was wanting those sexy seats clive lol
-
but those that you posted are girly woman sizes....go look for some 9, 9.5, or 10" wide sets and get youre wallet ready =( amazingly sexy wheels though
-

blown shocks would cause the car to bounce, but i dont see them being deflated and the car being drivable with them riding literally on the bumpstops all the time.
-
there are way too many threads on this site already addressing this, please search and look thru the "WHEEL" section, theres more than a few threads with peoples setups and theres even group buy threads on the same wheels.
-
or the most reasonable thing would be to actually post pics of the car to show us what it looks like, i reallly have a hard time believing that a stock car scrapes with a kit, mine was lowered with a kit and didnt scrape on anything.

mexico? doesnt sound much like spanish, then again the italian flag is green white and red...

doubt you will make much if any, especially since a good paint job is going to be 2-3k so that would definitely put you way over the mark. These cars arent for "flipping" as there arent enough people that want them/they just arent worth it. Not to mention you are young, obviouly not the greatest driver, and prolly ragged on the car when it was running....so there arent many positives note the 2 wrecks it has been in (in less than a year, probably even less "running" time). Just sell the parts and get a honda like everyother kid, youll get better gas milage, and more room, and a huge aftermarket for parts.

cowl can be swapped too...ask me how i know lol i did it to the last car, not a huge issue just carefull cutting and pasting
-
ps those fans were given free food and drink, free sb "swag", 3x's face value $2400, and tickets to next years superbowl...im thinking that wouldnt mean much for most people especially with travel, hotel stays, etc if you actually bought the ticket for 800 vs the 2k+ that some went for. But at any rate if your team isnt in it next year youre definately just going to sell that ticket and make money to put in your pocket. Think of it as early tax money next year.

Just fyi the old brembos retailed around 450-500+ a pair for the rear aluminum drums, they have been out of circulation for about 7+ years now...i have a full set (front rotors and rear aluminum drums) that i have been holding onto for ever now...everything you can find now is cast.
-
Well then, what happened to that chassis that you already posted it was all going in? You sell that plaything already?
-
yea if you are running this why not save alot of money and just get a few pairs of springs (if you are moving it alot) and cut them to different heights and just change them out accordingly. I know you have to take it all our but its 4bolts and not like the fronts, or rears on a Z, like posted above its a useless "mod" unless you want to spend alot of cash on sleeves, etc when you could just buy the rear shocks with springs and cut them or cut the stockers and have a couple sets for adjustability for alot less.

ive got a 6-3-2 square and a 6-1 square
-
ive got a full size that was in my 76, let me know

drilled will also eat through pads faster, if you actually look around at the brake threads you will find all of this info rather easily. Most people get the drilled just for the "looks" then realize unless they have a racecar or one that does some MAJOR braking, they just wasted their money and will be sooner on pads.
-
well ma'am since you have given up let us know who's getting it next so we can get our bets in on how long before they sell it off/give up like all have so far.
-
Yes...Move out of the stupified state and you will finally realize what fun cars can be. Hell i am in TX where almost anything goes and i am jealous of AL, MS, AR, etc close by where you dont have to actually have a title to drive the cars...hell i could buy all of the title-less or "lost" title cars that go for 100-500 that are in great shape it just costs another 500+ to get a bonded title so that they can be driven...sucks.
-
Frank im with you on the handling ( i tend to like it because of the longer wheel base ) also what size wheels/tires are you running they look like 8s or so??
-
they work fine...lol and phil....i think you lost some zg flare rubber welting, it looks like its dangling. AND PLEASE buy some cheap damn spark plugs...ill even help you put em in, then we can see what it really pulls like...'Man yo musta got some sheet in that thang cuz i was on the highway and you was flying past me on that axxcess'

Well obviously a motor at those limits wont last long but im talking even a few years=50k etc like you if tuned properly and built right. Ofcourse the bigger motor vs the i6 is alot easier to make the power but there really are VERY few that have done it, and it is a task but definately possible, especially when most of the "weaker points" (clutch, trans, rear end, etc) has been taken care of by using other cars parts and adapting them to our own. I just want to see a recent thread with the 'Heavy hitters' (and you can even title it that) with tim, and anyone else putting out more than 500 to the wheels and doing it for more than a few pulls
Can i see some Zs painted BLACK... post some up!
