My (not so new) 280zx!

Post by wyatt89 »

Well I've wanted one of these for quite awhile and I ran across this one for 600 bucks! It runs great and sounds amazing. The interior is gutted and it has an X brace welded up to the frame as well as strut tower bars. It has an intake and 2.5" exhaust from the headers back with no cats and only one muffler. It sounds utterly amazing and It's so fun to drive compared to the vibe since it actually has torque!!! It has duel electric fans, one is always on and one is wired to a switchMy plans are to cam it and lower it with a new clutch somewhere down the line. Pictures!!!! (sorry it's pretty dirty and it's before the exhaust)

Darn tootin, I had someone in a vette wave to me earlier haha, that would never happen in the vibe.For having 195/70/r14's it handles REALLY well, autocross for it will happen soon :D

Those pics don't look anything like Allen, where are you? I've wanted a Z for a long time as well, but I am looking for a 1st gen.

A friend offered to sell me his with new clutch, freshly rebuilt engine, and original paint that still shines for $1500. I really wish I had the money at the time. These are fun cars. Enjoy!

Too bad it's a zx and not a z, that is for 70-78 If I were to do that it would be in a 240 and it would be an ls2 haha, that would be a pretty quick combo!

I wish I could afford it, apartments dont usually like you to be doing v8 swaps in the parking lot either I believe it will receive a pretty decent cam soon though... brrum burrm buuuuuuurm buurm
