24 oz Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I think what makes my car so unique is the fact its on jackstands and been there for about 9 months:( . Oh wait no others probably already have that lol, but definetly the ford 302 completely rebuilt with some aluminum heads, cam, and every other top end peice you can buy that will be going in the engine bay if I ever get the car painted, and I stress ever getting it painted. Anyone wanna help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLSHLE Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 L 88 scoop ,B&M starshifter, bumpers, the ends were flapping in the wind, they pissed me off so I took a sawsall to them. I've seen the problem handled better. We used to switch our brake lights, but only to evade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMortensen Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 ezzzzzz, have you considered relocating the diff forward again since you've done the CV conversion? Should be preferable for PMOI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezzzzzzz Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I never considered moving the diff forward again. The rear control arm brackets, crossmember, and mustache bar were all reworked and powder coated. The driveshaft was lengthened too. The Type-A gearbox has a yoke output so the driveshaft physically bolts between it and the diff. For a track specific car the relocation would have some measurable effect regarding PMOI. I don't know how much difference just that 1" would make. This is a street car and I don't know that I'll ever put it on the track. I won't even drive it in the rain. My girlfriend thinks that's silly. That sounds like a shame but my Z is in such great condition I hate to stress it in racing or subject it to water and road salts. I failed to mention the Suzuki Esteem side markers wired to work as turn signals.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrkopsho Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 My signature pictures say enough. I never thought a plain white paint job would look so damn good on a zx!! Btw. Thanks for spoiling my plans... I was just looking at a set of lights on a mustang the other day and was thinking about using them on my zx. I cant seem to beat anyone to the punch!

Good luck with it. It's ALOT more work than it looks like, especially when you do it in STEEL, but thanks for the kind words. Warren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCchris Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Rusty floors......no?.......OK, howbout the fact that in the last 10 years it has only been 140 mi.........towed behind my truck.......no? 9+ years on 4 flat tires in the same place by it's previous owner........no, still not unique? Showing 3 distinct paint jobs?......still no? OK, howbout the fact that it presently resides on jackstands as a shell? Guess not, huh? My wife thinks it's pretty unique! chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
