Lost in Space....

ok, so I don't guess I've been around here for a while. I finally got my Z on the road about a month ago. been tweaking it, and trying to get it to the point where it's SAFE to call it a daily driver...

some of you guys have wanted to see some pics, so these are pretty fresh.

http://webpages.charter.net/dynamicj

click here, then the folder called "Resized" for pics of the S13 and the S130.

I have hit a few bumps in the road... I am still needing one of those fancy carbon fiber hoods (with a scoop, so I can actually have an air filter) that don't exist.

some electrical problems here and there. my windshield wiper fuse still blows everytime you turn the car on.... I'm sure it's just a short somewhere. Of course that wouldn't matter if I still lived in Arizona, like Wildman, S/c, and CarlsZ... 126 days now with no rain?! crazy...

I'm getting sent to Biloxi Mississippi for 6 weeks starting March 12th, haven't decided if I should drive the Z 400 miles yet....

and to top things off, it turns out we're getting back right at 5 g's on income tax return.... stoked. what to do next though?!

later,
Jason

Hey J, I found out that you don't have to through all the trouble of doing a V8 swap to have a fast Z car... Just buy yourself a Z32 .

haha I can vouch for that, rod. did you go n/a or were ya lucky enough to find a TT? I'm thinking about buying this Z32 2+2 from my uncle. he's the traveling carsalesman type. I've been driving it for the past few weeks. it's a n/a w/ auto tranny... red 1992 with aftermarket wheels and tires. he's only wanting 7k for it and it drives perfect. I'm just not a fan of the auto, ya know....

It's an N/A... It was an offer I couldn't refuse. Still though, it's WAY faster than my 280 is even with the work I've done to it. It came with the hatch and spoiler from a TT though, so er'body thinks I'm spoolin'

How many miles on that 2+2? 7K could be a good price if the miles are low and the car is clean. I wouldn't mind having an auto as a daily driver...
