I like your Z28, nice stance to it. 4 link in the rear?



:icon18: I'm going to look into slip on shoes or shoes with Velcro Straps. :bowrofl:

My back has been feeling tight the last few days but it has been working itself loose later in the day. This morning I was doing intervals on the treadmill and my back locked up as I finished my last "hard" interval, I shut the treadmill off and dropped to the ground, laid there until I could somewhat crawl upstairs. It's still tight but at least I can stand upright now. I'll get Mini GaleForce to walk on it later. He'd love that. :happydance:



Gale Force.. Thank you...

No 4 Link... I went with Speed Tech Tubular A-Arms in front, and QA-1 Coil overs, and Hotchkis Bar and Steering Parts and a quick ratio steering Box and pump.

In the rear I used Vari Shocks, Hotchkis Leaf Springs and Sway Bar and Sub Frame connectors..

Yes, The Stance is everything.... Also I went with 18"x 8.5 front and 19"x 10 rear Rims..

It took talking to the Builder, Jason at Rushforth, and myself to get the stance right.. Glad I went with the 18, and 19 combo...I love it..

And we set the alignment for one thing...Cornering..It sticks like glue..All throttle controlled.. My Brain is the only Computer..

All new underneath. Chassis Bushings, Motor Mounts, ect.. Monster 4 wheel Disc Brakes, Fuel, ect.. Rear Gears...Exhaust..Engine parts.. MSD complete system. Aluminum Radiator and Water Pump, K and N extreme



The Wife just got back in the 370Z ..She loves it...Who wouldn't ?

Very nicely done. I've been around these cars (and older) all my life. I just love it when I see someone build one the right way. :driving:

Thanks Man..

Yes, I found the best Builder around to help me.. This Car has been in my Family for almost 30 years and I just had to upgrade it..I bought it in 1983. Built the engine and painted it in 1985.

It is a Number's matching True Van Nuys,Ca, Z/28.. Factory Corvette LT-1, and Close ratio M-21. Engine and transmission has 20K miles on it.

I did not want to do a factory Restoration..Boring...

The value is still the same...But the fun factor is through the roof..Next is Interior, and then more Power someday. With all the new cars, I need to step up my game. 420HP is not enough anymore, haha..

Rather than sell it and the 350Z and buy some Exotic Car, I thought that redoing it the right way and buying the 370Z was the way to go..

The 370Z will stay stock because it is the Wife's car..Otherwise, I would go crazy on it too.. Someday I will put Pilot SS Tires, and maybe an Oil Cooler, and when it needs rotors and brakes, I will upgrade then, but only when it needs parts. My wife won't let me spend more money until something is worn out...

This other picture is from 1985 with the Goodyear Gatorback 15" "Truck" Tires.. Sitting way too high..But it was 1985... But the rims look so tiny..

Now it has the modern look.

Started my day off at 4:00am driving the Z from Sacramento to SLO (4.5hrs). I took my favorite winding backroad shortcut that has some fun sections :) Then when I got to work my high pressure radiator cap and billet oil cap from ebay had showed up so I added a bit more engine bling this evening.

Good morning fellas. Just got done with my first of many personal training sessions. Starting a new routine of gym at 5am every day, so I need to start getting to bed at reasonable hours. :yawn:

SPOHN 05-30-2012 05:39 AM

Bypassed the steering lock. I alsos removed all plastic trim panel possiable from car.

happytheman 05-30-2012 06:30 AM

Alcheng - I loooove me some dim sum! :yum:

Steve - I had a partner that liked to work out at 5am. That's such a hard time for me. Good luck with the training. :) :yawn:
