For me I put in my tranny v. 3.0 in 2 months ago. But I have been buying a ton of parts for the new build.

  • Subframe connectors

Well since the blower is "getting tired" and you are stepping down the gear...how about a turbo or two?

I put mine back to stock, clutch started to slip, ecu then bricked randomly, plus no A/C in 100 degree sucks, so I lost about 200whp. Its for sale and looking for something COMPLETELY new to try.

I have not laid eyes on my car in almost 6 months now. Its been at a body shop waiting to be restored. The Guy called me the other day and said they are going to finally start on it today. I told him to call 911 I'm having a heart attack....
Im toughing it out with him because I know he does good work plus every shop I call says a 3 month wait at least.

When I get it back I plan on a "stock" n/a setup like before. Going to upgrade the stock suspension and fuel system. I wouldn't mind a Turbo or blower setup but right now I just want to see how far I can get the car n/a.

Took the Z out for the first time in months after racing it for a day straight (I hate pushing my car's like that), and took pics of her WITH TIRE SHINE THIS TIME!! Then Washed/Waxed the SS for the hell of it.
