I am looking for a 17" Superleggra for our Subaru 2.5RS. Is there a retailer of user wheels somewhere. Thanks for any help Don

Tried to email the address above, sfinnerty1018@comcast.net, and got a failure msg.

I did mine in 2016 at a high end Porsche shop. Owner has Worked on numerous car for us. Started out with a plan to remove the screwed on side molding and right side mirror holes. Found rust on the quarter below door and tailgate area. Repairs, glass out, full paint except engine bay. $12k. I did all of disassembly and reassembled. Base / clear to original color. The repairs add up quick. Good luck Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

What are you saying? Am I not welcome here because I’m only a 30 year Z owner driver and part time mechanic??!!!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Geez I hate this stuff. Probably lost what could be an interest member. I think most of us have open minds about others personal cars. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I love it when informed people know what and how they want it then go out and do it. Can’t wait to hear more about your cars. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Jeff is your choke lever working. I have always had to choke mine in the morning or after it sat a few days. The other day I decided to start it after a couple months sitting. Took full choke and some cracking to get her to fire. You shouldn’t have to manually feed the bowls. I would check the fuel lines clamps for air leaks.

Ps I did a similar install to a R200 last year. Labor, seals and bearings cost $850 w/o ring & pinions. Had excellent results. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Most require professional installation for any type of warranty. Some offer life time warranty that is transferable if professionally installed. Not much is worse than a clucking diff. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I have an 83zx close ratio and all of the mounting hardware for an R200 into a 240. PM me if you are interested. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

No one has mentioned the valve settings. Don’t they play a part of the overall success of tuning? Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

So found why I marked it a AC (Cooler) here a wiring diagram I used when doing my dash. This a Prospero diagram Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Joe Behind my heater/radio console i have a blue/white wire with a fuse holder labeled as a AC lead. Past the fuse holder the wire ends at a female lead. That would allow you to connect the wire you identified in the picture and because you said it was an AC car that would make some sense to me. Just a guess. I can send photo is needed.

I have a working early antenna with all of the correct mounting hardware in a box if you need photos. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I am ignorant about the processes you are suggesting but applaud your ideas. Thanks we can all use clearer information. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

First ask the seller. He might tell you. Remove the carpet floor mat and look in the area under the petals and around floor plugs. Slide seats as far forward as possible and check the floor lowest spot on ground of the tool storage box. Have a small Led light with you. Look under the battery support put your there and feel for loose rough surfaces. Look for bubbling paint along fender, the dogleg in front of the fender and along the panel under the doors then the area on lower front fender by the doors. Check engine bay along the frMe rail where the wire harness lays. I would be shocked if you don’t find some. Check the panel under the hatch corners just above the license plate. Not knowing your ability to repair I would think about your plans long term. How much can you do yourself. Will you be happy driving it and repairing it the way it is. How funds can you devote to it. Add another 4-5k and you could buy a pretty nice 72-73 driver. Shout out the the members there maybe one that can help you look at it. If it is relatively rust free it won’t last long. Good luck.

I like this car but needs a good inspection for rust: floors, behind seats, under battery, fender edges, etc. Cracking paint may mean body filler. I would pay 7200 if minimal rust knowing I would spend $15-$20K on body and paint and $2 - $5K on interior.

Good time to check the driveline U joints, on a Series 1 trans you can remove the shift lever without removing the console, check the shift lever bushings once trans is out, replace or have flywheel, if you can replace the pilot bearing (Orielly may loan you puller) if you replace it test the new one on the trans before installing, loosen fill plug on trans before removing from car, replace trans fluid (I like Redline), replace trans rear seal and look for other leaks, throw out bearing, pressure plate, trans rear mount, use a clutch disk locating pin. Check engine rear seal for leaks. Make sure trans is in gear when putting it back in. Sorry if these were obvious. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I have never tried the helicoil system I have always drilled out the stud and tapped the hole. Is there a benefit to the insert? Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Congratulations on your ownership. I really like that your know what you want and are not deterred by the process to do it. You can determine the diff gear ratio turning the wheel and counting the turns of the drive shaft. Some photos of the back of the diff would help to determine which version you have. You will find lots of help and advise here. Transmission and Rear End Gear Ratios.pdf
