shameless self promotion Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I havent gotten to read much in this post yet, just got back from vacation, and my parents house. Finally finished fabricating the new rails for my crx seats and put them in the z after a week of working on them.. Ill post pictures later. and read up on everyones update..looks like dirty did some work over the holidays.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avancier Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 ^^Umm, just curious, but why would you go through all the trouble of fitting CRX seats into a Z? Wouldnt it be easier to get a real race seat with rails specifically for the Z? Besides that, are the Z seats better than CRX seats to begin with as far as holding you in? I certainly hope so. Im sorry, but thats like putting my SE-R seats into an NSX or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sorry, but thats like putting my SE-R seats into an NSX or something like that. Quoted post I put '91 crx si seats in them because they are made by recaro and are basically race seats: Most older z car enthusiasts who want some body huggin seats look for either miata or crx seats (if not newer z seats) because they do just what race seats would at 1/8 the price with little fabrication. They cost me about 100 bucks in all after buying them and doing the work on the rails. My z's seats used to look like this: Yes comfy, but EXTREMELY heavy. Also they were 23 years old and the leather had taken alot of wear. I cant begin to describe how much of bitch these were to take out. These are what the new ones look like: As you can see these are a great upgrade, and they match my black and grey interior. I will probably buy a leather kit for them sometime down the road..for now I'm just happy to have em there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avancier Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 Im assembling my catback Saturday. It consists of mandrel bent stainless steel sections made for my car and a JDM Prof muffler that came off of a turbo S13 Silvia. The muffler has a black canister and a polished tip. Got it off of Ebay used in good shape. And since JDM exhaust products have to pass JASMA certification, Im sure it will be very deep and quiet sounding.

Dirty_habiT Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Originally posted by shameless self promotion@Jan 21 2006, 08:55 AM Dirty- Its great to have tons of part cars.

Any Z I find usually has all the parts missing that I need, well that anyone usually needs. Sometimes you can find some goodies, like differentials, pumps and etc...but usually theyre bone dry. I would gauge that I spend about 1 1/2 weekends a month during the summer just driving around trying to find new junkyards and checking up on the old ones.. Quoted post Shameless - I completely agree, I'm super fortunate in that there's 2 strips of wrecking yards here in Dallas... and they aren't even five minutes from where I live. I will take pictures sometime, in other news, I got a job and worked my first day today, I've been a bum for a while now... and at my friend's apartments this morning I saw a parked 280zx turbo... it was impressive, I dunno, I get excited about turbo cars, as long as they aren't 1.8t's because I see those EVERYWHERE here. Don't get me wrong, they are cool, and I recently got the chance to ride in an Audi A4 awd 1.8t, and I wasn't SUPER impressed with it, it was peppy, it had get up and go, but it just wasn't comparable to the way my car feels.

Quoted post Got it together last Saturday, it is the best exhaust system I have ever owned. It is almost as quiet as stock when crusing or at part throttle, not really that much louder when your at wide open throttle. If you can afford/source a JDM exhaust system, or even just the muffler, I highly recommend them. They are much better sounding and quieter than most of the systems available here in the US. Mine was made by a company that doesnt market its products to us, and I just happened to find it on Ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty_habiT Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Man, I wanted to go to the junkyard this morning, but we're having shit rain weather. Fuck outta here rain. Anyhow, I took my fuel rail off to change my coil pack (it was in the way) and I somehow lost one of the little plastic rings that sits between the head and the injectors... and I also figured out my firing order was wrong coming off the coilpack... fuckin sweet. So my car's sitting in the driveway, waiting for a clear day so I can go get the parts it needs. Things my car still needs are : 1. front passenger axle changed (cv boots gone) 2. injector o-rings 3. a fog lamp, one is still on the car... 4. the exhaust needs to be welded between the turbo and the cat... where I cut it. 5. probably need a new cat (any ideas on this one, I want a highflow jdm cat) 6. SAFC-II needs to be tuned... right now it has default settings. 7. I NEED a new head because of the 4 valve cover screw holes being stripped... some of them aren't, but I'm not pleased with the less amount of clamping power... also there are hairline cracks in 4/16 of the valve guids in the head from the pistons bending the valves... 8. small crack developing in the exhaust housing of my turbo, I need to get a new exhaust housing, or better yet.... a small/big 16g turbo... I don't care to have anything huge, I just want one step or two above the stock turbo. 9. front bumper has cracks in it, needs a good replacin'. So, that's what I've got on my plate right now.

And I'm really against paying someone to look at it, I don't like mechanics unless I know them personally or someone I know know's them and trusts them. ....AAAAnnnd the only turbo shop close by here, Alamo Autosports in case anyone's ever in town and needs to know, they're dickheads. The owner, Brice, young guy, maybe 34, biggest cock mongle I've ever met seriously. This fool had me tow my car up there because he said he'd look at it, if I brought it up... so I go rent the tow dolly, and go up there to listen to this mother fucker say, yeah just park it, we'll get to it here in two weeks when we have time, RIGHT AFTER I just got off the phone with the mother fucker and he said he could look at it. Keep in mind this is the owner, his workers are bad, but it is really gay when the only "good" performance shop in town is run by people like that. <end rant> My brothers and I have a mind to start a turbo shop in Austin TX later on in life when we can afford it. I know there's people there that have to go pretty far to get to a good shop... oh also, I would go to Forced Performance, but they're expensive and about a 45-60 minute drive from here. Meh... Yeah, Shameless, if you could get some answers out of that guy I'd greatly appreciate it. I've been looking on the internet for a while without much luck.
