  1. This last year's was august 23rd, so it might be pushing it depending on when they hold it next year! there are some sexy z's there! here is the link to last year's facebook event page, but either way getting some zs together would be rad! https://www.facebook.com/events/1159725710719683/
  2. Definitely! I am stoked to drive this around again, it was a great find! you'll have to bring your car to next year's salt lake tinners show! I think it's hosted by jdm legends and it's awesome!
  3. Not a shabby idea! I actually leave Tuesday afternoon for a week, but what might be a good idea is I go buy some of those today at home depot! I'll try taht out because I am having no luck with this so far haha. do you know if they make like star head bolts the same size as the allen key bolts? something like this: http://i00.i.aliimg.com/photo/v1/2013326862_1/JSZY_China_hardware_manufacturing_star_head_bolts.jpg I want some bolts that wont be as easy to remove, and I don't think every person has a star bolt sockets, I just haven't found any the right size haha
  4. so first and foremost, I found a video and the original ad from when I bought my z, I thought it would be rad to show it, as well as the video the kid sent me of it starting up. It really is a strong engine even still. I've been trying to get these freakin studs in, they are too think or something and they literally won't bend like they're supposed to. after stripping multiple bolts I decided to weld the allen key into one to stop the stripping. I ended up breaking the allen key, so I think I'm going to email pegasus and see if there's some sort of trick top these things. as you can see. my allen key was no match for these super strength inserts!! anyways, I had a spot or two that I needed to get fixed up in my flooring. I had some bending upwards on the passenger side as well, somebody must've jacked the car up using hte frame rail and it bent up, so I got in and just jumped on the bend as hard as I could. luckily my 200 pounds of fleshy blubber was able to straighten that out for now, but I will definitely look into the mad dog frame rails to strengthen them up. Does anyone have any other recommendations?? here is a pic of one of my patches. I am a terrible welder, I pretty much just try and tack it in and tell my brother to finish it off. I also got around to the other fender. those are all my own tacking and pounding, I am proud of my little fender! stoked to see I am actually getting better. I also am getting a bit better at the whole cutting out the cancer and replacing the sheet metal thing. I was almost spot on with my bends this time in comparison to last time (spot on in my own way, of course). I took a few pictures to show how I bend everything into the shapes I need. here is my sheet metal cutouts: sophistication at its finest. not too shabby for a one eyed kid! after that, I tacked the couple of pieces into the body! turned out decent! so before: and after: pretty stoked, I've got all tomorrow to work on her and I am stoked! also, Found this diagram as well, check it out! more soon! justice!
