Hey there,

My name is Chris. I picked up an s130 about a year ago. Been working on it when I have time.

Came on here for little tips and tricks about it.

Here is the car I had to sell before I had the s130:

I had a 1984 Celica GT-S, I had to sell it because I needed to fund my business. (I do wheel repair and refinishing.



Then my current daily is a 91 Toyota Pick up:

Here is what I started with"



Ended up finding a baha truck, took the panels off of it, got silly:







And here is my Z:

When I got it:


did a bumper delete:





Picked up a set of konig rewinds and some old deltas:





Thats about as far as I've gotten. lol

Welcome to ZDriver!

Welcome to the club

Welcome. What are your plans for your Z? Also does the headlight buckets poking out bother you?? O.o

DJBRANDER

Thankyou everyone for the warm welcome.

My plans for the z (once I have the time and money):

-replace the frame rails

-do the S13 knuckle swap so I can run s13 coilovers

-I have an L24 head that I want to swap over to do triple carbs

-ZG flares

-fender mirrors

-paint it championship white (or something close and cheap)

-boso pipes

-oil cooler

-headlight bucket covers

And yeah, it does bother me the buckets stick out, but it looks way better than the stock bumper

NismoPick

Lots to do!

Our member PurePontiacKid just did a tripple carbs swap on his 280zx... though he's only posted about it on Facebook... I think he's sick of all the forums.

DJBRANDER

yea i have awhile till im to that point. Owning your own business takes up way too much time

NismoPick

What's your business? (if ya don't mind me asking...)
