| I recently picked up a 90 AT TT for 6500$ from Cali in the TT.net classies with a few things done to it and some drivablity problems. o2s codes and very sluggish, I put full turbo-back exhaust with new o2s fixed it at 12psi. Then turned the boost up to 18psi and it was surging horribly, due to some old school HKS BOVs that came on the car that couldn't hold 15psi. I swapped them out with some SSQVs that I just happed to have sitting new in box for my other car. Threw them on, fixed that issue and took it out for some fun. I've been driving 5sp Zs for the past 5 years and I have to say its nice driving one handed and just being able to press down the right foot and shoot off like a rocket. I still prefer MT but this is great for traffic driving, and QT fun.
A Couple of my buddys and I have had the itch for the QT so we went out to Baytown. It was Import vs Domestics night, I drove my friends Stock C6 ls3 and beat my self by 2 tenths. My cars best time was right under 13, its a slug of the line with the stock AT set up. It can only launch at about 2000-2300rpm, i'd like to get a high stall down the road. I got 16 total runs in my car. let two of my buddys have two passes each in it. Wow... autos are extremly consistant. Mods in profile
my top 6 runs
 Then Saturday Turbochargers.com got a new Mustang dyno and had a 20$ dyno day with free burgers and hotdogs, I couldn't pass it up because i was excited to see what the car could due . It was a huge import show up. I was from about 9am to far past 9pm and I left around 8pm with the highest import numbers haha.. which is bad because they weren't really high numbers at all. 
rear end still filthy from the drag strip :-)
I'm trying so sell the wheels, and put stock ones back on, put stock recirces in,remove the stillen lip and replace front bumper it is cracked underneath, I've started removing the purple window tint its a pain in the ass. Then I have some GReddy SMIC, dual pop and nistune laying around that I can throw on it. The lowering springs it has are the worst riding z32 springs ive ever riden on, I have no idea what they are, they are light blue color? And i'm confident the shocks are crapped out. Easy fun fixes. I Basically want the car to look nice and stock because I really like the look of a stock white z32. The Momo wheels extreme drop and Stillen lip just arn't my style. This is now my 3rd z32, one is loaned out to a friend while I work on his TT and my other is getting a new engine and paint due to a dog attack. The car has been at the shop I work at with gaurd dogs (mastiffs), which are some off the most lovable dogs you'd ever meet. but a rodent got under my car over the weekend and the dogs when apshit trying to get to it. Hours later I get an email that Kyle is basiclly done with my motor that was going to replace the motor in this car. Both doors are damaged and dented, fenders distroyed and hood ruined. This is why i'm declining offers on these parts now from my two parts cars in the classifieds. And the car was uninsured because it was sitting for months due to rod knock, I doubt it would of been insureable anyhow do to the situation. 
I'm a mechanic and love working on z32 specifically and now this situation has me debating if I want to learn paint and buy all the equipment. Ironicly before the dog attack I was discussing with my car friends that I wanted to learn how to paint, the white car also needs paint so this misfortune just might drive me to do it.
