Faults:

As it is now, the rear shocks and springs are worn. The power steering pulley system seized. Dash and seats are cracked. Factory stereo doesn't work, but will be replaced anyways. Hatch's hydraulic lifts are worn out. Replaced clutch, and power steering system. Replaced seats. Clear coat is wearing off, but that's expected of a 21 year old car!

General Comments:

I've only had my Z-Car for a little more than a week. I've already done some minor work to it, but as it was, I couldn't think of a more fun car to drive. It could use wider tires, the previous owner had 195/75's on it. I'll soon replace those with some 225/35/17's complete with the California style spoke rally wheels, complete with chrome spinner caps. Overall, this car has serious potential to be a serious little hot-rod/cruiser with a little money and time!

General Comments:

Other than the car's title being of salvage status and the car being a monster back from the grave on its way to revival, it is an excellent first car for a teenager.

Faults:

The clutch slave cylinder went at 45,000 miles other than that the car is still original.

General Comments:

This is my third 280ZX.

My first one rotted beyond belief so I had to put her to rest. The frames are so weak.

My second Z got totaled by a stop sign runner.

This is my third Z and it runs better then any of my other ones. (might have something to do with the miles) The car is seriously a V8 eater, being that I modified it a little bit. pushing 400 horses is hard, but with my 225/35/18's on there I get some traction.

Full engine tuning has been done.

Full body mods have been done. Including whale tail wing and 4 piece fiberglass motor sport body kit.

The interior consists of Sparco seats, harnesses and steering wheel.

Also 2 TV's, a Playstation 2 along with a 1000 watt stereo system.

280ZX great

280ZX modified = death wish.

Faults:

It had a bad clutch pad when I first bought the car.

The windshield seal was leaking.

The dash was cracked and faded by the sun.

For some reason the Interior lights will just come on by there self when it's parked.

General Comments:

This car is pretty much stock and will out run Mustangs, Camaro's and everything else I've ran.

I'm only 5'10" so the car fits me perfectly, its like being in the cockpit of a fighter jet.

Some of the things have been difficult to work on, but overall I love it.
