Ive been seeing a lot of posts where the Eibachs arent fitting correctly and leaving the rear sitting low. I dont know if this is true. I only have experience with Tokico and SST. Both are great springs, and very firm, me thinking that the SST's are slightly more so. I love them both.

Tennesee, it says so in the ad, just look :stupid: He does have an lot of Z's and if you noticed his name it says jaguarsndatsuns

I wouldnt go with a standard Fel Pro head gasket with 11:1 motor thats for sure. The choice is up to you, if the car isnt going to be anything special, Id go with your standard gasket. If its going to be a high comp or it continually blows HG's then you might need the copper HG

If your wife likes the old 2002's then maybe you might want to turn her onto a late 60's early 70's 510 and keep it in the family so to speak, they are great little cars, and there is always the SR20DET swap for that:devious:

Jet Hot = GOOD Header Wrap = RUST

And thanks to the rest of you for the good thoughts. Keith you are right, it just doesnt seem the same anymore. It just doesnt seem right no matter how hard you try to make it right at least in your mind anyway. I just spent the past two nights talking to my mom and I can tell shes not as happy as she usually is during the Christmas holiday. I fell bad thats shes just home alone without anyone anymore. Thanks guys.

This is the first year, that I wont be able to see my father that past this April. This I know is supposed to be a happy day but I cant help but be depressed. Just knowing that I wont ever see him again just sinks in a little more now. I always think of my father and I hate saying "how he was" instead of how he IS. I was talking to my mother last night, she tried to keep the dissappointment behind her and not let the feelings show, but I could tell shes not happy either. Thats another thing thats got me down as well. Christmas has tapped me out so I cant even make an impromptu visit just to say hi and keep her company today. Just knowing shes sitting in that house all by herself. I kind of feel the same way today, just alone. I dont know, I was dealing with it well I suppose, but its times like this that make you think about it all over again. I really miss my dad, I miss him a lot. I really also hate knowing that my mom is speding her Christmas day alone too. Eh well I dont want to put everyone down. Just had to vent a little I guess, Merry Christmas all. Today just remember all the poeple that you do love and even the ones you dont. This may be the last time you see them make it a good visit.

If not that clogged oil galleries or filter or pick up.

I think it still looks nice.

Yes to both questions, its the cost that gets you though. The metal piece, rear valance as MSA calls it is available threw them.

When you can pick up a complete turbo motor and all the necessities for pretty cheap at a pick and pull. Just would seem to make better sense.

wow!!! Gotta love acceleration

you got something you wanted. I wish I could get something like that for my car or a garage to put it in for that matter.

Then you know mileage as long as it was taken care of doesnt mean much. My motor has 183k on the clock and runs 13's. I love the inliner, its a great motor.

Where in the hell was this or how was this can anywhere near the seat.

All this hoo hah and not one pic?????? Show us some pics of your new Z:classic: Congrats on finding the car for you as well. Now I hope your single as if your not, your significant other may start to get jealousLOL

You want to check and replace or fix. Rear hatch seal and outer seal Tail light gaskets Rear hatch inside cover Spare tire drain plugs Fuel vent lines are all good and not cracked or broken. Im sure there are more thats what I can think of right now

I totally agree on all your points. Well said

But I sure would like to. Its not to common to see engine swaps in a ZX, be the first to chart this new frontier. If I had the cash to do it I would definetly be on the ball with working it out over the winter and having it running for the summer, of this there is no doubt

In excellent shape, probably 8.5-9 out of 10 center caps were a 10 for 200. No curb rash, polished.

That car has been driven to much to rate a price of 33900, now if it were like Zrushs car then I would say it could fetch a price that high. This owner of the car on ebay is just dreaming a dream that unfortunately for him wont come true.

You can make a mint off of ebay. I sold a 100 dollar ic on ebay for 315 dollars just because it was what someone wanted

I thought that the input shafts for the T-5 were the same only the bells had changed, the clutch is the same for the 83 turbo to the 86 turbo. If this is true that shoots my chances of getting a 84-86 T-5 with the better gears.:sleepy:

Id say nothing beats BFG's drag radials, for auto x its a totally different story, and put it this way you wouldnt be running anything you could on the street for the AutoX less you dont really want to go that fast. Kuhmo makes a really good autox tire, for a pretty good price, check out www.thetirerack.com

The next thing you know your gonna want to kiss and hug me too. Yes it is true Im at about just over a 1/3 of the cost that his car is at. Then again I didnt buy all the parts less the wheels and intercooler. Even so, if you add it up: HKS metal HG 175 Tokico struts and springs 450 Greedy BOV 225 MSD fuel pump 150 FPR 75 exhaust and pipes 325 MBC 75 Total 1475 What I put into it Wheels 400 Tires 300 Intercooler 200 Piping 90 Hurst short shifter 5 (heh good find from the boneyard) Total 995 2470 if I bought everything, what I have in the car is 3495 So yea I think Im doing pretty good for that little bit of cash.
