New s130

Hey there,

My name is Chris. I picked up an s130 about a year ago. Been working on it when I have time.

Came on here for little tips and tricks about it.

Here is the car I had to sell before I had the s130:

I had a 1984 Celica GT-S, I had to sell it because I needed to fund my business. (I do wheel repair and refinishing.

Thankyou everyone for the warm welcome.

My plans for the z (once I have the time and money):

-replace the frame rails

-do the S13 knuckle swap so I can run s13 coilovers

-I have an L24 head that I want to swap over to do triple carbs

-ZG flares

-fender mirrors

-paint it championship white (or something close and cheap)

-boso pipes

-oil cooler

-headlight bucket covers

And yeah, it does bother me the buckets stick out, but it looks way better than the stock bumper

Lots to do!

Our member PurePontiacKid just did a tripple carbs swap on his 280zx... though he's only posted about it on Facebook... I think he's sick of all the forums.

He said he did wheel repair and finishing. That is what he said in his first post.
