haha awesome bardabe

cant you just rent a welder somewhere around there?

bardabe

Ok I got a welder last night. Instead of buying one I jsut drove over to Chino hills and picked up my friends welder.and today I closed up the holes where my asty old Poopra wing use to be. I shoudl be able to tackle the Wiper y tomorrow since I prepped the surface today. my welds look sh!tty *** hell but after the grinding they look good. now all it needs is a littel bondo work to prefect the over grinded surface. (my bads) and wing holes shoudl be fine. I'm aslo really considering right hand drive conversion since i"m geting a clip. I know a guy that does side jobs for Signal auto and he's not very expensive and has quality *** work. he's done RHD conversions before and they look clean. so i was considering towing my car over to him and getting my firewall replaced. he can do that for like 1,000 more or less. and I can just transfer the dash and stuff from clip to car myself. so I'm wondering is it worth the extra mile. I think it looks quite sick. noone expects a RHD Z. specially not in teh drive through. so I figured why not go teh extra mile while the engine is out and give it a bigger cool factor.

i will never understand the appeal of rhd conversions. its the purest form of rice, an expensive mod that serves no purpouse whatsoever other than looks or "cool" factor. save your money and put it into performance. especially when you consider that we drive on the right over here. and i dont think i could get used to shifting with my left hand. bleh.

Riz Z Speed

shifting with the left sounds like a good way to destroy a trans.

Let alone trying to peek out from behind a semi on a two lane road. WHAM, oops, left side of car gone. I guess you could just pass on the right tho. no one would be expecting that.

bardabe

uhm today was a very productfull day. I finished shaving off teh rear wiper, and that Nasty Poopra wing. the car looks alot better now. now the only thing left is that nasy antena of mine. i will take pictures when antena is done. and the back is primered. so you can get a good look @ that beauty. I relocated some wires from teh main relay box and I'll also host pictures of that. I am trying to clean up the negine bay so there is nothign in there exept the motor, radiator, electric fans, relay box, and ofcourse allt eh stuff attached to fire wall. battery will be re-located to the back of the car. on the passanger side. of teh trunk. (where antena and OEM jack use to be.)

bardabe

also. the cruise control has bin removed as there is no need for that. I was finally able to correct all the wiring in teh car adn find all the grimlins of electric stuff in there., I took off al OEM Intakeplumbing and it's up for sale. complete AC Unit is out as well.

that leaves 2 mroethings for the body to be done. (1) Get the Front end repaired. (2)paint teh car on Championship Silver. (OEM 350Z color)

and well the performance list is still on hold since I have to get a good body to drop in a good motor in.

bardabe

DAMN!!!!!!! My clip has 42,000 kilometers and unlimited mile warranty what sucls is that after taxes the price wen tup to 3,400. hella high. what u guys think shoudl i pay that much for that clip?

91zxtt

Unlimited mileage warranty? Read the fine print. If it's all good, then it was worth it.

My Fairlady Z

It probably has unlimted mile warranty until something has been "tampered" with..

91zxtt

Tampered, like replacing the oil, air or fuel filter.

Keep up the hard work I hope to be in your shoes one day!

91zxtt

You mean to be a bad speller and have hall-a-dozen cars that don't run?

bardabe

emo236

bardabe

Ok Today one of my after market parts came in after clip is paid for. I got my Brand spanking new hardcore JDM. SARD Fuel pressure regulator. I believe this is a first on Z driver right? I feel so special.

91zxtt

But again, what's wrong with OEM? The OEM FPR has been proven to work in high HP setups with no problems. Oh well,....it's your $.

bardabe
