Guest Anonymous Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Hey, I'm new to this forum and the idea of HybridZ's but the sound pretty cool. I'd really like someone to talk to about this to help me decide if this is right for me. I'm not extremely knowledgable about cars, and I'd like someone to answer my question, and guide me in the right direction as far as the mechanics of the cars and stuff should I decide to do this. So if anyone out there has sometime to help out a 17 year old and his first car, then please get a hold of me on AOL/AIM at Animal5vs1. It would be greatly appreciated.

QWKDTSN Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Jeff, good to see you here. I, too, am only 17. I'm afraid I've got quite a jump on you as I have been obsessed with Zcars for three years or so and have owned my '71 since September 2000. My V8 swap is almost running and I've completely gone through every part of the car in that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 My recommendation is to buy a running/driving car and learn about fixing it and keeping it running. As your skills improve, do mods like suspension, exhuast, stereo, interior, wheels etc. If the V8 thing is for you, you'll be on the right track. I planned on doing a V8 swap in mine, but I am enamored with the idiotic little 6 now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
