Take the ugly stickers off. replace everything that was held together with zip ties. clean it out. put in a brand new clutch and flywheel and take a look at the engine.

The way i look at it is that i saved the Z from being ran to the ground. and when i'm done with it hopefully someone else will get to enjoy this Z after me with no mechanical problems.

Got the car back from the shop today with a new clutch kit. It's running strong. replaced all the fluids.

And yes. The S2000 was way more fun to me. But i was tired of the ragtop. the tiny cabin. Was time for me to move on to something more roomy.
I can admire your dedication to save riced out cars. I for one would stay away from such a car. If the owner has such poor taste as to rice out or ghetto out a car you can bet that regular maintenance was probably not performed. Based on the fact that most ricers or ghetto fab people are dumber than a bag of sand.

In short a riced out car has typically been mechanically ignored and is more than likely not going to last as long due to neglect, but I still admire your effort and good luck!
