My best 260Z yet!

Custom intake made at the shop. Running MS2 for engine management that we pulled from my 240 running the turbo setup. Saves a bunch of time because all the MS wiring is all setup. Hoping to set the ECU inside the glove box so it doesn't get kicked in the foot well.... See how we go.

I also agree not to sweat the red engine - kind of goes with the scheme . TB type?

[grnsky]

Its been a four year journey, but the red devil is running and driving under her own steam!! Can't recall the tb type, came out of my parts stash and had lots of work done to make it work. Car hasn't been registered since 1989 so am pretty proud to be the one to put the car back on the road. Still lots of work to do (: Will get video clip posted shortly.

1989......Almost 30 years! How time flies!!!!

Lots of small projects on the horizon. Going to start digging around for some door seals to help the doors close a little better. Passenger seat belt receiver also needs some love. Things are coming along. (:

She made it out to her first mini car show last Sunday! Felt great to see others appreciating the car.

Trying life with one of my vented hoods. Hoping to keep the engine temp a little cooler in traffic, etc.

New valve cover gasket installed, then a run to Karl Strauss. A good Saturday!

Rubber'n it up with some new door seals. For whatever reason the passenger side is in worse shape than the drivers side. Hoping these do the trick.

I ended up using some Chrysler minivan door seals instead, which are a terrific fit! First wash in awhile! The progress continues. ?

I love those wheels. Had them on my 73 Z until one got bent in the  80's. Couldn't get a replacement so I ended up changing all 4. I now have the Rota RB's on the 71 and am very happy with them.

Thanks W3! She made it out of hibernation today for a beer run. Cool weather = Easy driving ?
