Ripper

Hi All,
The Information, Helpfullness and Advice on this Site is outstanding!!
I'm looking forward to visiting here alot in the coming months.
A little Background : I'll be getting my licence back ( after a 5 yr. no driving sentance)
in Feb. And I just purcahsed my 3rd ZX in preparation for that glorious day.
My 1st I gave back to the dealer cuz I had no need of it , my second I bought for $400 in hopes of a ground up Resto a year in to my sentance , but it was too tempting so I had to get rid of it
so as not to risk an Actual prison stay just due to driving a car, lol.
And now I have my 3rd , an '81 280ZX , it was sitting on the side of the road with a little sign in the
window that said $450 and ph# heh , I bough it site un seen , the guy barely got the key in the ignition before I was handing him the cash.
The excitement of grabing 1st , 2nd, and 3rd , was so wonderfull after 4yrs of walking and mass transit, then the fear of getting caught trying to get it to my house 3 blocks away was a little un-nerving.
Anyway's the car is in desparate need of some TLC (body mostly, well so far anyway) and I can't wait to digout the toolbox and start fixin' her up. So I'll be seein ya's around

yeah its great, this is one of the few places you can get a REAL answer on tech questions on the z-car

i WISH (!!!) there was a place like this for my cherokee! I've found a couple of "messager boards", but nobody knowledgable... in other words, nobody that can answer my gnarly questions

enjoy the site!

Careful Rip if you don't get caught you'll blow the clutch disc. I tried to squeal 4th just once to often and blew the clutch right ought. Lucky for me I could walk home but bad for the wife, we didn't get to drive it to FLA to see the folks as I was on my way home to pick her up and hit the highway when it happened. I got a 2+2 same year.

I actully fried the clutch on my first 1st ZX , Downshifting from 4th to 3rd getting off the highway, 10 mi. from nowhere. one of the only things i don't like about hydrolic clutch systems.

I agree this is a good site for board posts. I have posted on other boards for Z cars with little response.

Steve, try www.pirate4x4.com. I have had success there for questions about my Toyota Landcruiser. Although some of the members are not as mature as the people that post here.
