Day, please don't put 20 inch wheels with hydraulics on it. And don't put a gay *** wing on it either. Other than that, good luck with your car. We're all here to help you... except some people...

I see the potential in the car, especially for the price and a (let's hope it's true) low mileage motor. Definitely in for updates and to help with questions.


If you're doing wheels/suspension, you should check out the aggressive wheel thread in the tech area (wheels and tires section), lots of awesome looking Z's in there.

I think it's made by Unattractive, Inc.

But ya, whatever makes one happy with one's own car, no issues.

It's a custom kit, but it's horrible. Doesn't flow at all

That awrsome bat emblem on the steering wheel will probably hurt in an accident

Ok, full restraint in effect right now. It depends on how Batmobiley you want the car to be, but please keep it tasteful. I can't stand seeing ruined Z's.

This thread is awesome.

daylyt, don't take it too personally. Lots of people appreciate the custom work. Just don't make it ricey or cheap. If you're experimenting and going through phases, I get it. It's what everyone does to personalize their car. I've been through it myself, and I didn't like how certain things turned out on previous cars. However, I made those mistakes and learned from it. I'm sure a lot of people have gone through the same trials and tribulations.

So keep it tasteful and go slowly. Don't throw parts at the car w/o doing some research. Always search first before asking questions. Or if you have a build thread and want to show off pics of your progress, that's cool. Just be ready for criticism as well as compliments. Hopefully, there will be constructive criticism and friendly suggestions.

I know I'll be looking forward to your progress and hope to give you some advice.

U don't know anything about Zs or u don't know anything about cars? 😂 42 miles for 5k.... Ummm ok, 42 mile new engine on a 175k chassis is not really a good deal. Rear bumper doesn't match, door doesn't open. Who know what other problems u will find later. Looks like u just bought a junk. No wonder why it's so cheap.

I'd love to have a 42mile engine swapped into my 114k car. That would be one hell of a deal...

Also, it's a project car. It doesn't have to be perfect... especially if it's going to be repainted. In that case, who gives a blip that the bumper isn't the same color.

Usually cars like that, u will find more problems later down the road. Unless you are a mechanic, I wouldn't mess with it.

I like the big ***** on the front ready to rear end a car right up the poop shoot, that round of Batman was so much worse then the newest ones.
