Fiero is sold, Sad day. 
but the SC262 build remains. and I got a tired old 2.3 in my truck needing replacement. My Datsun has been out of commission for two years, and will soon get a new life as a auto-crosser. Soon as I get moved, I'll be purchasing her new V8, and I'll get started striping the Z to bare bones. 2-3 year project. But I am still a Z car owner!

Just picked this up for $700, everything but TCS works (blown fuse) only problem is it's a canadian car with no title. But atelast it's a federal car, only difference is the weight is in KG's on the door tag and the speedo is in KMH..

To what I have been up to: New house, New VDub(b5.5), And all this below!
My old tired 03 Ranger, 3 deer, 2 turkeys, a 5.0, golfcart, and a drunk co-worker in his gmc 3500. So she needs a little lovin. parts include, DJM 2 inch lowering springs, Flipped rear shackles(3 inch drop), Monroe heavy duty senitrac's, Monroe Max Air's(rear), Roush sway bar kit(replaces front, and adds one to the rear), Step Side tool box, for a flush fit(50$). home built air control and supply system for shocks. 1.5 inch spacers. The 4 new rims, wrapped in BFGood Wrench tires with 90% tread were 175$ for all 4. Sweet deal, but offset was all wrong, and i had to have at least a 5/16 spacer in front due to clearance issues with hub. so that brought them out even. No pic's of it lowered yet. I've only lowered the rear so far. new baby has me at hospital rather than at home. 04 Edge Lower front bumper, Orig repaired 03 XLT upper bumper, 03 Edge grill painted to match truck and trim. 7.5 CLSD(free!!!!) And soon to be finished, the 95 SC262 Engine to replace the tired ol 2.3 twin cam. Oh! and the first two are of the coming to new home day for my old Z! With old grill, bumper, tires 31.10x50 in rear, 245/65/15 in front, and old rims. How bought that sag with a trailer? Gota love Max Air shocks.

FML, replaced the timing chain guides on my q45, got the lower timing cover back on and everything installed only to realize I pushed the gasket back between the upper and lower timing cover and it leaks alot... Screw it, I'm busting out the silicone.....

I have posted my 200sx for sale... hopefully I will be in a 1983 280zx T-Top 2 seater with the good old 5-speed sporting black paint. I am so sick of OBDII crap! The ZX is $1,000 with 207,000 miles on it... Stay Tuned!
