I've been a member here for some time now and I have never posted any pics of my car. Be gentle, I did all the work on it myself, including paint, and I know its got a long way to go. But the info I've gained from this site has been awesome the entire time. Just want to say thanks everybody.

A little bit about her:

77 280z

MSA type III front end

83 ZX 5-speed

turbo wheels (which will hopefully be gone soon:))

energy suspension urathane bushings front and rear

solid aluminum steering coupler

again thanks everyone.

Nice! Good luck with her.

Do you notice anything significantly different with the solid coupler? Another item I'm considering- but need first hand experience/feedback first before taking the plunge.

thanks poindexter, a wife and two kids doesn't leave much extra time or money for the Z but I do what I can. As for the coupler it did make a big difference to me. The car now has a very quick and tight feel (my brother called it "twitchy" but I prefer go-cart like.) but I did the suspension bushings at the same time. One thing to look out for is its sensitivty to wheel balance. I have to do mine about every other month and I drive the car almost daily. It is also very sensitive to tire pressure but I would not say that it feels harsh just connected.
