| Five years ago, I had 3 yrold twins, my Z hit 120K miles and 2 or more injectors started going out, and the dealership wanted $6K to get it running again. So I bought a Mazda3Speed to satisfy my turbo addiction. Since then, we're added a third kid, moved across town (brought the Z with us!), and finally paid off that Mazda. I've had 6 random offers to buy the Z. Now it is time to resurrect my baby. So the question is, where to begin? What kind of problems can I expect? My first objective is to get this back on the road. It's certainly suffered the lack of attention the last 5 years. On my short list
* 300 Degree fuel rail
* New injectors
* New radiator (the plastic connectors started failing years ago)
* The entire 120K fix (I'm pretty sure the water pump was shot years ago too). I realize that the list of possible problems is long, but what should I really look for? What should I be careful of the first time I fire the thing up? (And any knowledgable wrench heads in the Plano Frisco area want to get their hands dirty and teach a wanna be something about his baby, I'd like to hear from you.) Zim
