The g/f complains about the ride of the S/R, in particular that it hurts her large breasts whenever you hit a bump.

You say goodbye to the g/f and keep the ZX2 S/R figuring you'll get a leaner more athletic g/f the next time.

[simplicity05]

23. You still havent fully realized you are in fact, driving a chick car.

24. If you have, you wont admit it.

I remember catching a special on TV that was talking about when the Mustang was first released it was made for and marketed to women. So you know what, I'm just fine driving a "chick" car that still spanks hondas :D

[simplicity05]

28. You just tried to validate the fact you're driving a chick car...

[J_Mob]

I've got a problem. I should have realized when I actually look forward to coming to this forum to check for anything new.......on a daily if not hourly basis.

And it's not a chick car......it's just got little balls. But they're made of steel dammit.........

[J_Mob]

And so far I've replaced the tranny once and the air filter twice....because when the tranny went out it puked oil down the intake. Or else it would have been 1/1..........hehe

[J_Mob]

29..Your chick car makes other chick cars look bad.....(i.e. Civic, Neon, Del Sol......)

Edit-sorry, if this didn't make sense please delete. I'm all wacky on vodka and caffiene.........

[corbygasm]

37. failing school because you cant get your work done being on teamzx2 24/7

[2000ZxT]

Hahaha I love the "it takes you an hour to change your oil filter".

It's so true, I did my friends dads brakes this weekend (Acura MDX) and the oil filter is RIGHT beside the right wheel. Amazingly simple. I was envious.

[scort2498]

y does it take u an hour to change ur oil filter???
just drop the crossmember 4 bolts. and it's right there... 5 minutes.

[capitalcrew]

You drop the crossmember?

Why are we discussing changing oil. Reach in from the top, take out, drop down, take plug out, drain, replace, new filter, done.

[scort2498]

cause it gets all over the cross member(the little that does come out) and it's easier to do it all while ur underneath it's beter than getting up and down.a bunch of times.


Youe know your addicted to the zx2 whne u make more junkyard runs than beer runs in a week

[MindSpinZX2]

When you see a modified z and think, "I wonder if they know about TeamZx2?"

[scort2498]

Troof^^^

[Larka]

You drop the crossmember?

Why are we discussing changing oil. Reach in from the top, take out, drop down, take plug out, drain, replace, new filter, done.

Thank you! It's the easiest way- just reach back behind the engine, take off filter, set on crossmember, take out old one, put new one on crossmember, reach down, grab new one, put it on. And if you have a rag you can wipe off the little bit you get on the crossmember. :lol:

I tell people it's an Escort all the time- because every time I go to a parts store and say I need a part for a ZX2- they ask me what engine size my F-Series has. It's a zX2, not a zR2- and if it WAS a zR2- it would be a CHEVY truck, not a Ford.



- when you see a wrecked ZX2 and want to cry.

- when you see a wrecked, beat to crap or hideously riced ZX2 and find yourself going "Give it to me, I'll treat it better."

- when you hear that someone you know is shopping for a car and the ZX2 is an option and you launch into the list of everything you can do to it- even though they don't care.

- when you catch yourself knowing way more about the ZX2 than the person at the car lot/parts store/dealer and they're just staring at you as you tell them why they're wrong and you're right in an hour long monologue.

[simplicity05]

When you see a modified z and think, "I wonder if they know about TeamZx2?"

When I see a stock zx2 I wonder if they know about teamzx2.

[00zx2s/r]

^ x2!!! lol

[Chuck Norris]

Balls.

[random_hero]

you cuddle afterwords.

[Hypnose Zx2]

You want to tell everyone about team zx2 that drive a escort.

[ZX2Fast]

26. You get sick of arguing with mechanics that you do not have an interference engine.

27. You call part stores to see if they sell an EGR valve for your car just to screw with them.

(on that note, Advance does list an EGR gasket for our car)

28. You beat someone in a race and they ask what you have done to your 'Sunfire'.

[ZX2 Sleeper]

29. You have more parts laying around that you could make another ZX2 or yet mod another one!

[Larka]

28. You beat someone in a race and they ask what you have done to your 'Sunfire'.

Or Cavalier! I get Cavalier all the freaking time.

[ZX2Fast]

44. You have the Escort song in your CD player.

45. Your car doesn't sound like a can of bees with just a resonator.

46. When people ask you 'why are you modding an Escort' you A Point at recent gas prices or B Ask them if thier mother knows they put a wing on her car.

[Gunslinger]

you memorized engine compression ratios, weight, and wheel base demensions on your zx2.

[chik]

33. you actually tell people "its a zx2, not an escort!"

or when you tell people you drive an zx2 and they dont know what it is you have to refer to it as the "girly ecort"

[kammo9199]

lmao........Z to the WHAT Z to the 2...escort baby i thought you knew...heavy on the clutch foot on the gas...what kind of car is that kicking your ass...lol

You are constantly pissed that there are only 2 types of cat back exhausts for our car.

[mellowness65]

you want to do major work to your motor but will do anything to keep it from being interference

[BignRed23]

This might be a stupid question but what do u refer to as interference?

[mellowness65]

the motor, as in the valves can hit pistons if timing is off on an interference motor

[Rakkal]

Yay for non-interference! My dad brought a Z home for a song, replaced the timing belt (the camshafts and the brackets holding them were nearly immobile. Loosen them up and boom, $500 Z) and then tried turning it over before replacing everything. XD A few loud noises, swearing, and push back into the garage later it was back in action!

[BignRed23]

Oh okay yeah i know what ur talking about. We had to replace a cavalier motor because of that before

[zx2racer1990]

lol, yes.

you think that you can beat a corvette with some bolt ons and a lotta weight reduction.

That sir was fucking awesome LOL..... i did beat that corvette, the kid didn't know how to drive and missed a gear. any decent driver would have beat the Z. but a win is a win.

Maybe you did, maybe you didn't. I'll have to take your word on that one. However, the description you provided was rather ridiculous and very hard to believe.

30-something) You go to a junkyard and have a field day knowing you can rebuild everything save the motor with more than 10-year-old parts.

[daggit2005]

u constantly through money at it, hate it swear at it, but for some reason u still have it
