Long long time.

It has been a very long time since i have been on this forum...I miss it very much. I miss my z. I appologize for the people who have messaged me about parts and such. I am have dealing with a lot of personal issues and ended up moving to Las Vegas. I dont even have my 280 with me. It is up in northern nevada at my moms house. I know this probably isnt the best place to post this tread but i didnt know where else to put it. Like i said i am now in vegas and i am looking to get back into my z. I spent way too much money on my scions with the Scikotics club im in now but those are now both pretty much done for what i can afford to do with them. So now back to the important car...My Z. I am looking for people in the area with Z's that could possibly help me get mine back together...engine trans and all is out of car. Engine is completely disassembled and sitting in the back. I have all the parts still but head is empty no valves in it or anything. pistons crank and all parts are just sitting in hatch...wanting to get it running again. I miss it. So please if anyone is in the Vegas or surrounding areas i would love to meet up and get some more info..775-445-9393 is my number..call or text anytime. i also work at Findlay Toyota if you own a toyota lol

That's what happens with avid Z owners. It's a disease lol. When I got rid of my 86 Z31 for my 78 S30, I was so sad. Back in a Z31 now and I couldn't be happier. I liked my S30s, but I love my Z31s more.

Good luck in getting yours back on the road man.

It's always good to have someone back.

I figured you worked at some shop or at a dealership, looks like I was correct, TCs (I assume you have a TC...) are the best tuning vehicle as far as Scion is concerned right now, till they make something better. Toyota seemed to catch the Hybrid craze, and staved off of sportier vehicles =/

Been following the Fr-s and Brz.. I think they're great. Personally I'd get the Brz but I am just a subaru fanboy

True, and by then I am sure Subaru will have released a turbo version from STi or SPT.

Well idk....they will have a turbo option as an add on but if I remember right no one can release a "stock equipped" turbi version...has to be an accessory add on so that way 1 manufacturer doesnt have a better car than the other lol
