once you do it enough. exhaust and intake Webbed from a S130, gone is 7 mins flat. Mount bolts that is. not the junk like t/b hose, and the harness

The engineer guys on HBZ did a thermo test w/ the intakes. De-webbed (L-series) intakes run (and stay) cooler. Also, intakes painted inside and out with JETHOT coating showed significantly cooler temps.

1? Id say like like $25-30 if it doesn't have like 10 layers of paint on it. I remember I used to see sets for $50 on hbz.

There is a 280zx sitting at a car lot... flat tire... brown... 4 seater... auto tranny... ughhh I want a Z again but it's all the things I don't want. The engine is nice looking and untouched... the guy hasn't said a price for this T-Top car but I may offer $500 :/

TX, i would of never chose a 2+2 either, but mine was free. before i ever got it running, i swaped in a 5 speed. then three years later i got the spare money to rip out the back seat, install a decent speaker system. Having the extra +2 has really helped me do things, and still have room in the rear that a DD needs. Including the large tool box i carry everywhere. and i can still carry food. Drives awesome since the poly bushings, oversized sway's, and OEM replace shocks and struts. I'll never get rid of the old girl. Love it so much, I have not had the motavation to replace the floor pans in the 76

In the 2+2s you can even put the 2+0 speaker/storage box thingy in there. The holes are already pre drilled into the metal of the 2+2 you just need to screw it in.

It's supposed to be loaded & shipped to IL today. I'll try to snap some pics if I'm home when they come to pick it up.

I saw a red 280ZX 2+0 today looked to be an 83, I slowed down to talk to him and he said it had a L28ET swap then he floored it and bolted off. I've never seen a Z squat that far down lol It was almost scraping
