Is it painted black, cause thats whatvi wanna do to mines.

 

Use some duplicolor black header paint. The ceramic in the paint leaves a nice shine.

 

Did you do yours?

 

excuse the messy wires and stickers, they're gone now

 

Thats sexy, now you need a polished TB & some other things....

 

Throw an air foil on there too. Makes a difference when using a CAI on the TPI. You could always use high temp Clear on it afterwards.

 

Where dis the allen bolts come from

 

Couldn't tell ya....


Is an airfoil really worth buying? I dont buy into them really making more power. Seems right up there witha "Tornado" fuel saver to me... Need dyno proven graphs!

 

Idk if its that much of a gain, isnt suppose to give better gas mileage?

Dam those bolts make a big difference on appearance.

 

That year Z is one of the baddest of all time... it is the EXACT Car I will buy if I can find one... that or a GTA.

Don't know about performance gains but for the money, why not? It smooths out the air coming in toward the TB. After adding one to my CAI I had on my GTA years ago, the sound of the CAI got louder. I would assume that's because there was less turbulent air.

 

Nice daily driver! Just make sure she remembers who came first

When I built a 305TPI motor back in the day, I had 48psi @ idle. Once the 355 found it's way between the fenders shortly after the 305 grenaded, I used 52.

 

good work on the car. i cant wait to start on mine.

 

So, the fuel pressure regulator showed up yesterday, and I got it set @ 50 PSI like I was told to.

Turns out I didnt set it correctly, and will have to redo it with the vacuum line off of the pressure regulator. I was also told by tech support now to set it at 45psi @ Idle... We'll see what that does! Thus far it seems like the problem has gotten better, but is still very clearly misfiring....

 

New Fuel filter installed, and pressure was set to 45psi @ idle with the vacuum line disconnected as directed. The car still misses pretty bad, but is no longer backfiring.

I developed a new issue with posing my gauge cluster fuses. The previous owner made a cute rats nest under the dash for me to lose sleep over... So, I'll look into that mess whenever I get to it.

I just want to enjoy the car for once! Considering selling it and starting a new venture...

Dont sell it, its a beautiful car.

 

I'd like to keep it. Hopefully this figures it all out...

 

Its a labor if love

 

.

 

Almost a brandnew car.......

 

Just about... lol

I gotta get to that rust next.

 

So shes a keeper?!?!??!

 

I'll say I had one block of zero hiccup driving with it, and it made me quite happy.

The problem still isn't fixed, but I'm cornering it...

 

i got an 89 rs i can cut the lips off if you want, id think thatd work to fix your rust right?

 

I'd assume it will work fine. Classic industries sells quarter panels fairly reasonably. I've been looking at those...
