This is my turd. I paid $1000 for it....sometime in 2010 I think. Dont know, had like 40 z31s. Anywhoooo....

It was a mess when I got it...solid, straight chassis...but the hood was banged up and the hatch glass was broken.

What a turd! lol

So I had what I believed was a cracked manifold...

It was a big crack...

Escalated quite quickly, actually.

Together:

Wait...rewind for a second. I forgot to mention, this was a factory automatic car. So another project was auto to manual swap. I did that in a day, no real pictures.

ugly mess though here:

New hood, blah blah

Front mount:

I'm going to skip all of the lame lowering spring stuff...and jump right to the fun.

Awesome CLSD (not stock) in factory Z31 diff case, with finned cover.

Best $25 ever spent:

Rolling shot from earlier this year...was on lame Suspension Techniques springs and Bilstein HDs

THEN...the good stuff:

Straight pipe back on:

The front wasnt quite low enough...went a touch lower. Rubs on fenders now...meh

These did not last long....
