terrycoxusa Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 After 2 years of intermittent labor, I took my z for it's inaugural drive today. I bought it as a basket case for $500. Rebuilt engine, l28 flattop pistons, n42 head, crane cam, all new valves and springs, new rocker arms, 5 speed trans, new cluch, new bushings, motor, and transmission mounts, armor coated header, monza exhaust, new radiator. Arizona Z car intake manifold with Holley 390 carburetor. Tokico Ilumina struts. The body was stripped to the shell, all glass removed, I painted it Metallic Blue with clearcoat. MSA air dam and skirt, all new rubber seals and windshield. rebuilt seats with new foam. Dash Cap To Do: Carpet and wheel well cover kit, reinstall windows and door handles (tomorrow) install heater/ac. How does it run? Great!!!!!!!! Motor starts with touch of the key, carburetor runs clean at all throttle positions, shifts great, good clutch, and it makes plenty of power. I have an Infinity G35 as my primary ride, but this Z really has the soul of a true sports car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben280zx Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I have the same car that I've picked up two days ago for 500 buck. Wow it took 2yrs for engine and paints job, I hope mine will take that long because I have so little time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
