What are you going to Do/Improve on your Z over the Winter?
I might rebuild it, for the 3rd fawking time.
Other than that it just recently got an interior semi redo, all I need is seats, a legit cage, and some basic audio to finish...yeah right its never finished.

Im so happy with the new tranny/clutch/flywheel. That pretty much ate up all my funds but next spring im hoping to:
1) Paint either the stock hood and get the vents cut in it or paint the CF hood.
2) Im going to seriously look into solid mounts for the rear.
3) Gonna try not to crash it this winter.

New V1 detector w/ that mirror mod
Covering the center panel and door inserts with some Dyn-Noc [sp?]
Hopefully change out the interior panel lighting from amber to blue
New tires
Still thinking about what color to paint it when I get some extra cash

the tranny is SOOOOO quiet. Shifting is magical. and the clutch and flywheel combo are great. I am so happy. After all that was said and done I think I spent $1850 for everything. The tranny was used.

Yeah Hills Garage found me one. I may not be the best person to ask as to feeling. My old tranny was SHOT. It sounded like I had a super charger. The gear whine was incredible. And my 3rd was completely gone.

1) ERS rear spring conversion.
2) Get rid of 50lbs of unsprung weight. Anybody want a set of heavy 19"s?
3) Learn how to drive
4) Maybe a LSD (money is tight, 3 classes next spring is going to hurt)

^If you want to save money you can always go with a MT 3.5 (which can be had for almost nothing) and run a shorter tire.....my effective FD is just a shade under that with the factory 3.5 and 285/30 tires. Just a thought.

^ our cars fit 19x11's just fine, as long as its the correct offset. Shops generally charge around $50-80 per side or so.
