This was a while back, but something I just wanted to share. When I first got my Z, I was pretty enthused about bolting on stuff for added performance. At the time, my motor was mildly modified ( 40mm triple webers, Mallory distrib, motorsport headers, and 2 1'2 pipe from header back to muffler). I used to drive my car pretty hard, up to the 6000+ redline (give or take a couple hundred). Afterwards, I noticed my muffler started to break the seam and the muffler shape was starting to bulge and deform. The muffler was part of the Motorsport kit which was a Dynomax muffler. It's design was not a S shape chamber but of a more primitive design, like a muffler stuffed with fibr…

Bought this car in 1987, still have it. I started racing it in ITS at Summit Point in 1989 and retired the car in 1994. Shamefully it doesn't look this good anymore. Has the Ground Control suspension, a stock ATK crate motor and the required safety equipment. No, I never won a race, best was 6th place in a race in 95+ degree weather when all the 240 drivers were smart enough to stay home. Still was a lot of fun all the same, just too darn expensive for a toy.

I just purchased my 2nd 70 Z (first was stolen). The car I bought has a clean engine but it feels a little tired and there is a small engine leak. I have decided to get the engine rebuilt as part of the restoration project. I called Zdoctor here in the bay area and they suggested installing a factory rebuilt 280zx motor as opposed to rebuilding the original 240z engine. Cost is about the same $5500. Does any one have any opinions on this. Does this price seem reasonable for a complete block and head. I unfortunately have no experience in this area. If anyone can recommend another shop in the bay area that would be great too. Mark

Hey all, I received this email from a guy in Norway. I thought the story was impressive. He's done a lot for his Z. I think he'll become a member of the club soon. I also asked him to post pictures...

I just bought this car last week. IT is a '73 240z with 30k original miles on it. All stock except for radio. (anyone have a stock one for sale?) runs great! No cracks or blemishes on dash looks almost new in throughout. It feels great to back in a real car again! -Dale-
