[ImCrazy]

What is everybody doing to their Z this summer?

I want to get a OBX header.

Id also really like a wings west kit and some more power adder mods.

[AZN_ZX2]

Trubendz catback, then putting on the hotshot header and powder pulley. maybe fixing the dent on my car lol

[ZX2guy19]

WW kit painted and professionally mounted with the CF hood recleared
Rear Disc Swap (Done)
New VC
MMI intake
MAYBE cams or a 50 shot, haven't decided.
Xcal 3
Improve my gas mileage and fix the little shit that is wrong with it

Win 1 trophy at a show.

[SoCalZX2]

Hopefully getting her back to stock and keeping up on maint. to make sure I don't need a car for many many many years (only have 62k on the clock).

[Boss122]

I'll probably wash it, then polish and wax it. I really can't do much more to it without doing something like rebuilding the endine or adding a turbo.

Why are you going back 2 stock if your gonna keep the car?

[zx2vt]

I plan to complete my head build and install a number of parts that I've collected; 3" MMI, powder's UDP, rear disc brakes, strut tower bar, 150mph speedo, and a few other items.

I also plan to get:
-Kamikaze header
-FC 65mm TB
-Tokico struts
-Progress or Sprint springs (not 100% sure yet)
-Window tint (~30%)
-TWM
-A couple more Defi gauges
-Dyno tuned w/ SCT

I also have some items that I want to get powdercoated. I think that's it. lol.

[ImCrazy]

^ good plans but look into dropzone springs ive heard they are better than the two options you listed

I love my TWM shifter, its well worth the price.

[zxtwou2]

racing, racing, oh...and racing. and fixing anything that breaks from my over-aggressive driving style (from what i hear)

[00zx2s/r]

^ hahaha nice

My plans:
new header
UDP
ODP
bigger sway bar (done)
front strut bar
all new rotors and brakes
SS brake lines
upgrade clutch (done)

and that's about it!

IIRC, the reason that many consider them to be "better" is because they cost a lot less. I think the drop is about the same. I'll see what I can dig up for info. Thanks for the suggestion.

[JC'szx2]

fly wheel, clutch, diff, pads/discs, new rims and tires, sort shifter, functional hood scoop with the air box im making, move battery, strut bar, and hopeuflly get to drive it!!!!

[Larka]

[00EscortZx2]

Turbo =) Got 30% of the parts. Should have them all by June.


Fuel system:
60lb siemen injectors (<need these), SVT fuel pump, STR fuel rail

Man, I need to get me some of those siemen injectors too.

[Gunslinger]

baby girl, the sand box is anywhere one is sent against his/her will, for a worthless cause, and there is always a beach, but no water. and it sucks, and its hot, and your always,, always pissed off. but thats another thread.

[ImCrazy]

props to you for doing it tho.

anyways anymore summer plans for your car guys?

[00EscortZx2]

I might blow it up after...IF I get it running with the turbo.

[ImCrazy]

I wish my summer time plan was to buy a new car lmao, thats actually my fall/winter plan.

[Larka]

lol yeah you need that paint more than anything.

I just need to figure out what color. LOL

[Gunslinger]

what lol?

[Gunslinger]

what lol?

you said something about winter vehicles and stuff, it just brought back a memory. im just on a rant thats all

[WillZX2]

if crossing the border didn't cost as much as the kit.. I would go with a WW kit...kami head/trubendz exhaust too.

[kaliayev]

I have a lot of stuff that needs to go on the car. Hopefully I will be getting a catback exhaust put on this week(including the Borla muffler I already have) and then I can do my Kami. I am getting a bored tb that I will install the same time as my JohnP IM. I have a sunroof to replace the broken one that the dealer added. Once this is done I am going to install the S/R seat covers I have. Also parts I have that need to go on: ODP, rear tie bar, fuel pump, and WW front lip.

[aaronrun]

Trubendz catback, then putting on the hotshot header and powder pulley. maybe fixing the dent on my car lol

That is a perfect summary of what I did to my car in the last 2 weeks. Only thing left is the dents. Maybe SCT in a month or so. Also want to get the WW spoiler put on

[raider]

nothing, I have no money.

[Beodude123]

I'm going to be putting on the Hotshot header we have sitting around. I'm still debating whether or not I want to try the FRIM....

[Jaybird]

Step one will be to rewire the audio system and get rid of annoying engine noise. Secondly I need the get the Ksport coilovers since my adjustabl struts are dead and no longer made. Maybe I will also install a motot mount insert on whichever one is compatibel with the ATX.
