ZX mags

[Fun_in_my_z]

Anybody ever here of a ZX with gold trim and wheels?

I have found one but its just for parts. Im interestead in the gold colored mag wheels.

There are a few other things to, but i cant realy afford the whole car.

Anybody know where a good place would be to look for thease? Or does somebody here have a set they will part with?

Thanks Bill

My brown metal flake '83 Turbo had those. The gold was for the accents on the swastika wheels and pin striping on the body and the emblems were all gold on the car.

I believe that the gold trimmed wheels were on the gold and black 'tenth anniversary' 1980 ZXs. That is if they are the 'Iron Cross' style wheels. The six-spoke wheels also could have gold trim on the other ZXs depending on the paint scheme. I forgot about the 'Swastika' wheels. They were gold trimmed but they were also 15". What type of wheel are you referring to?

[Fun_in_my_z]

I believe it is.

Its got a turbo motor with a 5 speed. Just a few more goodies that could come in neat and handy.

But i dont see paying 1500 for a car that dont run.

So, they must be the 15" Swastika wheels. That car should also have the Borg-Warner T-5 tranny. But, if it's not running, I don't think you need another parts car!

The engine will turn over but wont start. They said it just needs a new fuel pump.

I can get him to get rid of it cheaper if i realy tried. His nighbors are complaining about it sitting out there so i might drag it home if i can come up with the cash.

I can sell the rest of what is left after i get the parts off it i need.

The brake parts wont interchange will they?

I'm always leary of a statement like that. If it 'just needs a fuel pump' why not put one on it and sell it as a running car. As far as the brakes, a lot of people like to put the ZX rear disc setup on the earlier Zs, but it takes some work and fabrication. And if all you're going to do is convert the rear, I don't think there is much of a benefit in doing this. It has been said the the ZX went to 4 wheel discs just to keep up with the rest of the industry. IMO, if you want better brakes, you are better off going with some kind of after market fronts like Wildwood, etc., and putting the factory aluminum drums on the rear, if your car doesn't already have them. I've never had a complaint with the stock Z brakes but my car is street driven.

[Fun_in_my_z]

Yeah my cars got the drums.

I dont think i will do anybrake swapping.

Im just flirting with some ideas.

The brakes on my car do not work at all. Ive bled em ive but so much flued in them that i might as well buy stock in the company.

New master cylender,lines,servos.calipers are in its future.

Man this things going to cost me a fortune.

[sblake01]

Well, that's just a reminder that you are a 'Z' owner.

[Fun_in_my_z]

Yeah and if i dont stop dragging them in then i will Be living under a bridge somewhere in Little Rock.

But atleast i would have my cars
