innerware Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 WOW!!!!!!!! That is the nicest looking and well constructed Z I have seen here in a while. Which is saying a lot since I look here often drooling over what mine might look like someday. Is that a new dashboard?? Or did you have it refurbished? Did you do it yourself? And where did you get the climate control stuff? What kind of actuator are in the dash to open and close all the valves for heat, defrost etc? Really nicely done.

DavyZ Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Wow--doing things the 'right' way for sure! Nice work, very complete, good color schemes, sweet components--a real "10" in my book. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastzcars Posted August 18, 2003 Author Share Posted August 18, 2003 Thanks guys for the kind words. Hey Pete your car was my inspiration to start this project in the first place, Thanks Pete. Innerware. The dash is a full dash cap from MSA,It was easy to install once the dash and gauges were removed.The air conditioner is from vintage air. The controls are all electric servo motors. It's there GEN II model. DavyZ , I tried to think like a manufacturer engineer. as for as the color scheme goes. What would they use as far as what color and or texture. Thanks again guys for the encouragement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HICKL Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 What size wheels and tires are you running? Looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest benjlv Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 tell me more about this power steering setup. i searched some, but have found the search feature to be frustratingly ineffective. Is there a previous post about the miata rack? What kind of pump can work with it? Will the L28E pump work with it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastzcars Posted August 20, 2003 Author Share Posted August 20, 2003 Hi guys, Thanks for the interset. HICKL. The wheels are 17x7 front. 17x8 rear. tires are 235x40 fr. and 255x40 rr. Benjlv. The steering rack is from a mazda miata. The tie end rods are from the miata, cut down and rethreaded. I'm going to use the miata pump. I found an adjustable mounting bracket from ZOOPS, that I think should work. It's costing me some cash doing the R&D on this .going through 2 pumps and brackets to find what would fit with the MARCH serpentine setup. I wanted to stay with the miata pump to keep the matched setup of the pump and rack. I'll be getting the pump back from the rebuilders thursday. I'll post some more pics then. About the search function. Try MIATA or POWER STEERING on the brakes and suspension section. I found 7 pages worth of info? Well wish me luck guys. I hope this setup works out. : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
