so i finished the front over haul and have the car all back together and even registered it to start driving it around. incase you missed it here is a video of the twice pipes and how they sound


and we had some very very very nice weather here so i pulled out the Z and took a bunch of pictures. the last pictures are the nice ones i took my time on for once, and the car is lowered you can tell by wheel gap if you compare the old height, but nothing drastic. lol. hope you enjoy











i need an emblem

 

side shot now (lowered)



and back then (un-lowered)



exhaust

 

and the pictures i took my time on

eh.



but the rest are really good

 

wow. sure does look nice. can't wait to hear how it drives! good enough to get to pennsylvania...

 

Looks great snw! Where is the obligatory pic of the kitty?

 

ummmm.... its around. lol.

it drives like a Z. a little slow but handles great especially with the new springs but could use some bigger rims with smaller tires for less flex and larger sway bars to eliminate that last tiny bit of body roll. however the clutch feels VERY light for some reason even though the pressure plate i used looked basically new, and it slips a little even though the disc is brand new. i mightve gotten some trans fluid on it though just a tiny bit but enough to actaully make me think it could be one of the problems mixed with the light feeling pressure plate, i have this paranoia that its just doesnt have the same clamping force so im going to look for a heavier pressure plate.

 

you should swap your turbo motor into it real quick before it leaves!

 

nah i like being able to finally relax and not play with Z's. i really want ray to get the 260 shipped so i can stop staring at it especially since its no longer insured or registered so i cant even drive it.

 

freak show!

 

haha, when you do what i did on the front of the 280 work yourself to exhaustion, starvation, and dehydration. you would understand, i even picked up smoking again. lol. so there fore i NEED to stay away from heavy working on Z's just so i can kick the habit again crack back down on the studies and just enjoy life, and also start the search again for a lady to keep me company.

 

Supercharge Dat Hoe!

 

man i keep snacks and water in the garage. no starvation for me. and exhaustion, i like it lol. i keep a good balance already. and the Z has been wonderfully trusty for the past month, so there hasn't been any need to work too hard. you try to take a break, but you'll be back!
