norstar Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I know this is an old thread but the front end is horrible. Have you made any changes since these original pics? Why anyone would do that to the lines of a Z is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helghast7 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Did you ever post pictures of the brake setup you have? I'm curious to see how they fit those calipers, since this is the first im hearing about anyone using FC calipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharaohabq Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Ditto on the RX7 stuff. Usually people use the 84 300zx rotors and the Early 4runner calipers. They're a bolt on deal and well tested and availible. I'd like to see your Brake setup. The rears sound similar to the rear swap of 79-83 ZX rotors and S14 calipers. you'll need at least a 7/8" MC if not 1". For what you got I'd say 3500 is a pretty fair price. though if you think it was painted in a garage, I'd go over it with a magnet to see if it's got much bondo anywhere. I'd like to see your picts for returning it to original too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apex944 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Last I saw it was reported stolen... I believe it was about 4 or 5 months ago, maybe longer. Something about it being built to look like it does here in Sacramento and then a guy in Chico bought it which is probably the starter of this thread. The starter of this thread probably got tired of it so they sold it to someone back here in Sacramento and then a few months after the new owner bought it it was stolen. Whomever it was made a craigslist post about it being stolen, I don't know if it was found or not though. Here's a link to another thread where they were talking about it...

Pharaohabq Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Wow, Sucks... Hope they files a ins claim on it. Your regular insurance will normally cover a newly aquired car for 30 days. I wonder if it was ever recovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzgoten Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 The guy was from Chico and I added him on FB to chat about his car. I didn't know he sold it though.. Sucks.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 It's funny how many people don't like the front end. I'm not a huge fan, BUT, the aero of the stock front end sucks big time and if you look at that front end with that in mind it does a pretty good job of closing up the front without looking like you just shoved something in the front end to block it off.
