WAGON JON Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Are you running the factory manifold or get/make a custom one? Quote Link to comment
akumazedex Posted November 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Running stock for now, very budget minded haha. And at this point I just wanna get everything on and running. Might go for a shaved turbo manifold later but well see. Quote Link to comment

WAGON JON Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Yeah, no prob. Your zx looks sweet. I got to get mine to look half-way descent. It is currently my daily driver and it seems to be a gutless wonder on top of the ugly. Turbo would be the best option for me. So I must collect the parts to have the vroom factor.

akumazedex Posted November 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Haha mines daily too, it's my only car so I got no choice, and yes the na's are gutless wonders, I got turbo injectors in mine and it has absolutely no top end haha Best thing you can do first is lower it, they look like monster trucks stock lol Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Good pics mans. I haven't seen one of those torn down like that. Quote Link to comment
WAGON JON Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Does your air condish work? Thinking about gutting everything behind the dash except the gauges and making the heater work better. Summer time project. Quote Link to comment
akumazedex Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I've been MIA for a while so heres a small update of whats been going on. I finally got around to replacing my heater core on my car after it decided to try and recreate the great lakes on my floor. This was a really fun job, riping the dash out and swapping it out took most of the day but now its done. I just need to replace the heater control valve because the old one was leaking to, its bypassed for now. And now some goodies. I got a set of ground control sleeves and springs for the front struts (out of my old 210). So now theyre almost ready to drop in. Hopefully I can get them welded in tomorrow so I can finally be super sammed :lol: Quote Link to comment
akumazedex Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Does your air condish work? Thinking about gutting everything behind the dash except the gauges and making the heater work better. Summer time project. Nope, A/c never worked, the a/c line had a leak and i never bothered to replace it. I ripped out the condenser when i changed out my radiator. Better flow to the radiator too. T-tops might help in the summer too (mines slicktop) but hats what you have windows for right? lol Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 What you could do now is install the manual fan control system. You'll need the whole fan, heater core surround, and controls. I do happen to have such a system... for sale ;) You'll have a good heating system that just pain works for years to come. Quote Link to comment

WAGON JON Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 The spacers give the car a good stance. I think I have the same cup holder or close to it. http://www.classicconsoles.com/ works great, but I wish the cup holes were a bit bigger because not all cups I use fit in the hole :( Quote Link to comment
akumazedex Posted December 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Yeah mine is a classic counsols one, starbucks cups barely fit, mcdonalds fits good and anything in a can.. Even spray paint! Hahaha Quote Link to comment
akumazedex Posted December 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 I'm loving the spacers, rolled the rear lip cuz of mad rubbage, still gotta roll the fronts, they're not as bad. Quote Link to comment
