My new 86 Z28

Hey guys i got another third gen It is an 86 z28 with a bunch of 92 parts on it. The rims, hood, front end, and rear spoiler all came off a 92 camaro, its a 5 speed car, grey interior. The blue car is my old stock 86 2.8 litre daily driver. The black Z will be getting a 406 within the next weeks. What do you guys think of the new toy?

not that i know of... and if it was it didnt have the tach, or any of the other white face gauges or silver plates, i put all that in when i got the car, i have seen a bunch of cars on here with the tach mounted in the same spot that is prob what you are thinking of

that or maybe you looked at the pics of my old car, all this stuff was in the blue car for awhile https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=111420

I think that the car I am thinking of had the white faces and the silver also. I will see if I can find a pic of it.

Looks nice by the way.

Well after many battles with my car it is finally on the road..... Sunday night was her first night out and it was pretty eventfull. My battery blew up covering the engine bay in acid which didnt end up donig any damage very lucky me. The car feels strong but my clutch is not going to hold up i am going to have to put something a lot better in, i had a RAM pressure plate in the car with a centerforce clutch disc and the slave cylinder would not push the clutch fork in, it was bending my bellhousing where it mounts up to it..... so i ended up putting a stock camaro clutch and pressure plate in it which i know i am going to regret down the road because i can already feel it slipping and im not even getting on it yet... any suggestions on clutches?.......
