Guest Rick Johnson Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 http://www.tootechracing.com/Car%20Section%20Index.htm Hey guys, thought you might be interested in some pictures of the work I have done to my 1973 Z. Except for some further attempts at eliminating/isolating a wee bit of differential wine, the car is finished. I got thrown out of the Irwindale 1/8 mile dragstrip for going too fast without a roll bar, so I have lost my incentive for further mods for now.

DavyZ Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Excellent site, Rick!! The pictures are very clear and detailed--nice work. I have the SportZ article, but I totally missed the Sport Compact Car article!! Nice to see a V8Z in there, heh Maybe this summer (or even before) I'll be bolting up the 3" system I bought from you a few years back Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racin_Jason Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 very, very nice. I hope i can get my POS to your level of cleanliness and execution. I think I got the 11 second timeslip handled already, but that remains to be seen. Congrats on a great job Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very clean machine...that custom suspension of using shorter springs and a custom adjustable spring perch has my attention and interest. Keep up the good work....Chase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is the overall project coming - I guess you were doing some great forward planning when you bought the exhaust years ago. I'm sure you can see the similarities between yours and the second one I built. RJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ[/quote'] Rick, it has been slow since I ran into many financial woes (economy/dot com stuff) and a few more children to boot. I have the car at a bodyshop getting some work done, but paint will have to wait. I have nearly every part I need for the swap (all the major ones anyway and most minor ones) and I wait until the weather gets a little better and I get the car back from the shop. I NEED to do this swap. Also, I have more then enough help from local HybridZ buddies like Auxilary, Mike D, Don Manzo, Jon Miwa, FL327, and on! So, I am nearly there and I'll be posting pics as I make real progress. Thanks for the note Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
