hoov100 Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Lol. I just came to the conclusion of why do I have a build thread for my z on hybridz if I'm going to stick a stock L-6 in it? (my l28 is for sale now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoov100 Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 Alright.... Since I cannot find the money or the car at the moment, I bought a couple packs of sand paper and I'm starting to sand everything down and get it ready for a good 'ole fashioned sating black paint job, hopefully when my tax money comes in, I'll start looking for a donor car/motor.

hoov100 Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 Update: I'm locking the hammer back for a vg33, then I'm gonna pull the trigger once my tax return comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zgeezer Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 these two pictures explain whats going to be involved with that project. and maybe a tape measure too, the biggest task i see currently is not going over board on my ramcharger and forgetting about this project. Hey Hoov100: Yeah, the Miata is a tough differential with Torsen as a option on many models; but, the Monster Miatas and that ILK who stuff LS1 & 302Windsors into a perfectly good roadster also have a cradle that mounts the Ford 8.8 IRS. The Ford has lots of aftermarket support and if you're into fabrication, then here's another option. g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only shooting for 400WHP on the vg33 setup, so a torsen LSD should hold up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pharaohabq Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 On the 8.8 you can also get an electro-locker for the 8.8. much nicer for putting the power to the ground. If only they'd build one for the R200.

If only they'd build one for the R200. After doing some careful research and an hour or so of staring at my rear end, I'm most likely going to do a short nose conversion and get a helical tomei LSD, then I'm going to convert to z31 stub axles, which hopefully will give me enough offset to run regular converted CV axles, instead of ordering custom ones.

hoov100 Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 Alright, all I have left to do is the roof, hatch, doors and door jam. lol, I added 600 pounds of weight in the front and I still can't get the front springs to compress.

turborust Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I think the shifter is a little bit out of reach, but that is just my opinion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModernS30 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I think the shifter is a little bit out of reach, but that is just my opinion... Agree'd You should probably make something to like shift if you plan to mount your transmission that far forward. Again, just an opinion, could always be converted to an Outside seated vehicle.

hoov100 Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 Lol, alright. I know how many of you wanted to see a bad ass twin turbo vg33, but I think I'm going to just build it on the side. So I have been looking at this nice little l26, with the mn47 head, tri-y header, worked SU's, nice sized cam and some other bits, which just kinda fits my budget better. but it also gives me enough money left over to register and insure the car too.

Not really, I still have a vg30 mocked up and will go with it, if i can find a cheap parts car.
