emeraldlion Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 When it comes to you Tony, not sure if that last statement is a joke or serious. What amp are you running your klipsch's off of? I have a pair of cornerhorns that I would love to run on a vintage stereo amp. My dad has an early Yamaha natural sound that I am going to give a try this weekend. Right now my newer onkyo does okay, but I don't feel it's doing my horns justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artistic_gore Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I got a little over zealous taking off the rear brakes and cracked one of the drums . Also technically not doing something to the Z but getting something for it, I picked up a "new" front air dam. Thanks again 280zex! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrel Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Couple of days ago replaced a caliper that was bad. Warranty from checker. Had one track day with it. A month later the fluid leaked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayaapp2 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) Unpacked my 2 car garage and organized in a way that I could have a large single space with tools on one side and chemicals/abrasives/cutters on the other side. There is room for my Katana 750 in there as well, but I can now pull in my 260ZR project and start installing new parts and repairing the collision damage that happened 10 months ago.

bfg Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Put my new alternator in last night in 14 degree weather. Unfortunately all the effort didn't solve my charging issues but it was still satisfying getting it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikelly Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 What I did... Hmmm... OK, I reinstalled the accessories on the 383 stroker, installed the oilpan, The flywheel/clutch/pressure plate/bellhousing, the motor in the Zcar, then removed the trans to troubleshoot the hydraulics, replace the trans, bellhousing, clutch, pressure plate, reinstalled the mounts/driveshaft, and then welded up the headerflanges.

dislexicdime Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I replaced the rear trans seal and trans mount filled the 5 speed with new gear oil . This was a pain since it is cold . Went to Go for a test drive and the battery was dead. Doh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Bought a HUGE tap - M52 x 1.5 so I can section and re-thread the strut tubes on my lathe.... without welding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebekahsZ Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Z car is at the welder's shop for about a week. Went to a gun show with a friend, worked in yard, took my family to dinner. It was weird. Maybe I'll try to get some parts ready to ebay tomorrow...maybe I'll take a nap. Maybe I'll ask one of the neighbors what my wifes' name is. Gotta take a little time to get to know her before the car gets back. I feel kind of sick, like my appendix has been removed or something...

duragg Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Big thrash today getting the Z into code for my first HPDE this weekend (supposed to be pouring rain...in Arizona!). Anyways. Did alignment and safety check after the new Coilovers and brakes installed. Fixed placement of the Ball-Strap and ordered new compliant Shoulder straps. Hacked out the 1973 vintage windshield and installed new. Car was a nice green a LONG time ago. Actually shocked I got this in. I've done the side windows and hatch but my virgin front windshield. I'm beat. One beer and I about passed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
