  1. Well Thats not too bad thought it would be more. If i just take my time and search around can probably do it for less. Man i wish i had that kind of money rite know to be able to drop a turbo engine in my Z. Hey dreaming is always free :D
  2. Well thanks for all the info. I ask about the turbo because i want to put a turbo engine in the future but i basically need to start saving from rite now to buy an engine and thats if i find it. Like i said in my first post this is go'n to be a budget project. Just wanted to know if there was another alternative for this. The idea is to get more power but not for the car to become a beast just enough. For now i'm just go'n to search around to figure how to get more power until i can find a l28et(well more like have the money). Well thanks again for all the info
  3. Hey i have a question can i make my stock engine into a turbo or is it just easier to just find a turbo engine.
  4. so anyone know if the spring on my Z (pic on post on top) are lowering springs or are they stock springs if some one could help just curious of what they are.
  5. Hey hows it go'n have'nt done much to the car been raining and really cool. I did cut one of the springs and i did get the desired height but i did notice that my springs are different. so if u guys can help me out took some pics. I had notice that one side of the back is lower then the other same with the front. This is the front that is lower. This is the back that is lower. This is the other back the other front one looks the same.
  6. Thanks guys have'nt worked on the Z been to freak'n cold need to put a heater in the garage or something. i'll start taking pic when I do thing to keep you guys up to date.
  7. No pic i'll try to post some soon. Its nice because you can seat however you want and don't feel the roof feels roomy in there.
  8. The way I lowered the seat were by cutting off from where it bolts on not on the seat but on the car itself. Took it down almost 2 inches can't go lower back of seat hit the buttom. Had to weld bolts for the back to bolt down the seat. Welded the orginal plates on front. Seat still move front and back. Don't hit the roof if I seat straight.
  9. I know the ride won't be as stock but just was wondering if it was going to be really bad if I cut them compared to real lowering spring. Well we'll see what happens but what ever I do i'll let you guy know(will have pics for sure we all like pics).
  10. so bonvo sound like you've had some experience with this. Those the ride change alot once you cut them. I was thinking of getting some at the junk yard trying those just in case I screw it up. Is it worth the hassel? Don't know if you saw the thread about a guy who used Honda accord spring on his supposely they work was going to check that out to. If I could get my hand on some cheap lowering springs. You Honda parts are much cheaper.
  11. Well i started sanding it and fixing the dents on it going to rattle can it black for now. I want to lower it a bit thinking of cutting the springs for now as i don't have a good budget for the Z right now.
  12. Well hello there everyone new here been checking this site for a while and finally decided to put my project on here. I saw the Z on craigslist and bought it after about a month that i saw it(love that craigslist). The idea is to fix it up all myself so won't be perfect as i'm going to learn with it but i'll be proud of it. Here are some pics of when i got it. Scored the bumper at the junkyard cheap needed a bit of work but fixed it and is painted black no pics yet. I knew the car was in an accident but after i got into i was more then i tought it was.:eek: But i manage to fix it was hard but did it. Some pics of how its now. I also lowered the driver seat as i am a tall guy and you know how tight it can get in this Z. Before pic of seat. Well let me know what you think and ideas.
