[high school autoX club, good or bad?]

i was thinking that you would have to be a SCCA member but im not sure.

one of the teachers that has a Z3 seems to do autocross everyonce in a while.

[What do you guys think about this engine]

sounds good to me. i would like to see that in a z

[Which is a better intro level track car 240 or 280z?]

i know you cant strip a 280z down to 240Z weight but the larger engine compensates for it. besides the 280 was almost as fast as the 240 and handles better.

[Which is a better intro level track car 240 or 280z?]

sure the 280 is 500 lbs heavier, but if you strip it out (carpet, sound deadening, AC, bumpers, ect) it can be just as good as a similarly prepped 240 if not faster.

[how many of you are students??]

good for picking up chick even though it doesnt quite run, and im not old enough to drive. sigh again

[how many of you are students??]

sigh, still in high school. the z is good for picking up chicks (hehe).

i wish i had more money though.

[high school autoX club, good or bad?]

im thinking of starting a AutoX club at my school. do you guys think its a good idea or not?

[my first car]

no i swear, before he rebuilt it it got so bad that it started falling apart . when he (the last owner) rebuilt it he paid for all that stuff to get coated so that it would last longer. i think i have the recipt somewhere in my house.

[my first car]

i plan on keeping the car for a long time. as soon as the car is smog exempt im gonna get a rebuilt turbo engine and start building it up with bigger turbo's ect, and later maybe even a sequential transmission.

 

yea the sway bars are 1", not two, my bad. i forgot it has a custom built four core radiator from Scott Performance.

 

by the way, should i get a high performance cam or get a new paint job?

(its kinda burnt out and that funky brown color)

[my first car]

i got a 1975 280Z with ton of modifcations to the suspension.

 

suspension: ground control coilovers on tokico lluminas, 2" swaybars with forged ends, all urethane bushings, front camber kit.

 

tranny: rebuilt, teflon coated internals, short throw shifter

 

exhaust: flowmaster muffler

 

engine: new injectors

 

i got all this for $600! the only bad thing is that it had a blown headgasket, which is easily fixed.

[What do you think about Maaco?]

i would go with earl sheib myself

[MotorSports full front air dam #15-1409]

i odnt have one, but, i have seen some before. they should be strong enough and they are good quality. the fiberglass is almost an inch thick. i think.

[Auto Modellista]

i was disappointed with Tokyo Xtreme Racer, you can only get the Zcar to do the 1/4 mile in the low 13's!

buy some POR-15 epoxy, its the best way to stop rust and once you put it on it wont come back. you can sand it and paint over it too.

[i cant get my 280Zx turbo to start]

i recently bought an almost running 1981 280zx turbo. The owner claims that it was running a few months ago. i tried to get it to start but it just cranks over, there is a spark and there is enough fuel coming from the pump. could it be a stuck turbo or something else?

i'll submit a pic of my ground control setup soon, i think i got the same one as you.

[Best tire?]

get some Falken AZENIS tires. they are cheap and very sticky, i have some on my car and even during hard cornering they never squeal and lose grip.

i bought a 1981 280ZX that was running a few months before (or so the owner says). I am trying to get it to run but it just turns over, i checked the for spark and there is and there is also fuel coming from the pump. Could the turbo be stuck or could it be something else?
