New member of the family

[Fairlady Z]

Nah no kids. Not the human variety anyway but a 4 wheel one.

 

First ever drive in a lhd car. Was bit wierd for a minute or two but after that was no different than rhd car.

 

Brakes are bit spongy, accelerator sticky and power steering leaky, running a bit rich but was fun. Few laps in industrial area carpark before it went on a truck to its new home 5km away.

 

 

 

 

 

Its a 1973 Camaro 350 auto.

 

Engine starts first hit of a key. No long cranking. Has few goodies on engine but will be further improved once registered.

 

First job after washing it was to remove those silly white sticker on the rear wing.

Lovely addition to the family!

A very nice little toy, what is the interior like ?

[Fairlady Z]

Thanks guys.

 

Z28 bumperetes we see. Not a big fan of them atm. This is rs well actualy LT which replaced RS in 73. LT were only model that could have had all the z28 options. LTz28

Z28 front lip and grill yep. It allready has z28 rear spoiler and wheels.

 

Interior has seen better days. Its all there but door trims are gone dash is not cracked but warped. Everyrhing else is intact but just looks old and well used.

 

Everything will be bought new so it will look like it came from showroom floor. After rego some nice fat 12" wheels at the back. These wheel archers are huge. It allready has 255 and they look too skinny. Can buy everything new at realy good price shouldnt be too exy to get it shmick.

Man you must have a very understanding missus.

 

You have no room in your shed, no room in your yard.

 

Have you killed her ?

[Fairlady Z]

Hehe Paul no haven't shes cool though have cleaned up quite a bit recently. Its not as bad when u were here last time.

 

Still the workshop is a mess but space is getting created and should all good after this weekend.

I see 315 tyres on ebay all the time... various diameters though.

[Fairlady Z]

This one be more of a cruiser. Since its lhd laws here are stupendus. So any mods have to be hidden or not extreme. But those wheel arches just scream fat wheels and 300+ wide tires.

 

Still as z28 had 350hp engine as option i can mod it to that level plus 20%. So wont be a sloutch.

 

So better cam, bit of head work and extractors, rola rokers should be easy.

Also onthe list is lsd diff and quickshift kit for the auto.

 

Mustang will be my monster car as its rhd and mods are virtualy unlimited. 351w ford racing 4bolt dart block with low comp setup and strong internals, custom efi system and two haidriers.

9" lsd at the back and 6spd from fg. Aiming at 750+kw at the rears. Car weight around 1300kg should be fun. Best of all worlds in one: tough muscle car looks with v8 growl and hi tech add ons to make sure turbo 4cyl rockets dont stand a chance.

 

Ahh car obsession its so awesome. Best addiction ever.
