ArchetypeDatsun Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Looks good, is that the classic fiberglass air dam from MSA?

rwdawg2 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Just got my car back from paint and body right before xmas and wanted to share a couple photos with everyone. Going to get all the trim back on here soon and start on the suspension (5 lug swap, coilovers, and powder coat everything) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slownrusty Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Awesome - my favorite S130! Love the car Yasin as always. You've got more aluminum there than the NSX's sitting around you Now we need to discuss a few things.... when are we gonna Mega Squirt that beast? Coil Near Plug setup and get rid of the Dizzy? Talk to me bro. I might know a guy that can do up a custom wiring harness for you Oh and I need those pics in High res! Quick (old) pic of my Yasin Inspired S130.... mmmm tires..... Thanks for the compliments bro! You make me blush Please PM me your tel. no, I'll call you this weekend to further discuss....you have me excited! Loving it. Almost makes me want to replace my air dam with the one you have and leave off the bumper. Do you always roll around without the hood? Hows it look with it on? I have been driving around without the front bumper and hood for a few years - with no issues. The hood needs to go on, as it is a beautiful full carbon fiber piece made by Beta Motorsports and is too nice to not show off a little, if you do a seach for slownrusty on YouTube I have a video on the hood. I been rolling around like that in my ZX for almost 2 years no where near as nice as Yasin's ZX! Thanks!! Just got my car back from paint and body right before xmas and wanted to share a couple photos with everyone. Going to get all the trim back on here soon and start on the suspension (5 lug swap, coilovers, and powder coat everything) Wow..sweet..love the paint, colors and 2-tone...looking forward to updates.

rwdawg2 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Thanks everyone. It's a long time coming. Factory two tone color with some modern touches. Shaved signals and a true two tone instead of the traditional two tone with the bottom strip. Added a lip spoiler on the hatch. 280zx@541 - This is the bumper that was put on it when my dad had it back in the 80's. I'm just glad to see there are more of them. slownrusty - I have a build page on here. http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/71160-280zx-build-long-time-coming/ I am currently trying to decide which way I need to go for coilovers. I have some s13 stuff laying around and was thinking of going that route, but it just seems easier (suspension geometry wise) to weld on some s13 coilovers. Any input? Finally getting to the fun stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddogg77 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Hi, my name is yarddogg77, and I'm zx holic. I just bought my car 5 months ago and it has already consumed more time than I have in a day. I have pics of the work done so far in my signature. I've only driven the car maybe 6 times but already love it almost as much as my old truck. The only aftermarket mods are the 6-2 header and the main power fuse boxes. Thank you for your support. It's so good to be around people who understand me. Oh god I'm choked up (tears). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZUL8TR Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Thanks guys. I'm pretty darn proud of my ZX. Feb production date, so she turns 29 next month and still a joy to drive and still turns heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZUL8TR Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Your interior makes me sick. I can't believe how clean and flawless it looks. This ZXT has always been a play car. Never a DD. Toss in frequent cleanings and it helps to keep it looking good. Whenever I'm mod'd something, there is a great deal of cleaning that goes on. Dash out? Clean everything you can remotely get to. All the plastic parts were scrubbed in the tub. I did replace the carpet. That made a HUGE difference. Yarddogg77...Your ZX is coming along nicely. Looking really good! Keep it up and you are going to be one proud pappa of that ZX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slownrusty Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 ZUL8TR - Where did you purchase the new carpet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZUL8TR Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) ZUL8TR - Where did you purchase the new carpet? I bought the carpet kit from MSA. Picked up a new set of mats at the same time. Ignoring the Corbeau seats, the carpet & mats made a HUGE difference with the interior. Easy install too.
