Some of the old timers around here may remember me. Some of the newbies probably won't. I've been around since 2002ish. Owned 4 Z's from 2002 through 2008. My Charcoal Z is what I owned for the longest, and probably what most old-timers will remember. 2008 was a the last time I've been in a Z, when I sold the Black TT below. Charcoal TT
Have occasionally had an itch to buy another--and recently found a deal just too good to pass up, albeit with a little work to do as well. Bought a 1993 Super White TT off eBay from Arizona. The seller only knew about a couple upgrades(coilovers, exhaust), but what he didn't realize(and I DID based on the pictures) was that the car was COMPLETELY upgraded. Clutch/flywheel, Driveshaft, Intake, Kaminari, Jspec Tails, Etc, Etc, Etc.---FULL PROFILE/MOD LIST HERE THE NEGATIVE: The engine was hydrolocked... So--found a local guy here in DFW who'd swapped in a TT into his 2+2, but grew tired of the project. So--I swooped in and bought it for the donor engine(58K miles). Here's me towing it home.
And my Z before starting the engine removal process.
After removing the plenum. For those that have been waiting to get their Z running, THIS is a great feeling, and one step closer.
Now have to pull the engine out of the donor car, change seals, do 60K, deletes, convert AC to 134a, etc etc. AND--still have to decide on Turbos... Sp530's? Z1 550bb? Hmm... Anybody have a used/like new set? Can't wait to get her running/boosting!
