GREAT BUILD! Keep up the great work. LOVE those manifolds BTW. If I wasn't obsessed w/ ITB's I'd convert using one of those.

Welcome Back Senza!!!!

The work you do and put out, is truly amazing, your welds, the fab skills...Everything that you do is absolutely amazing.

I feel your pain about having to do everything and then some....I am currently 5yrs into my e30 Build, and its mainly driven off of cash availability, over and above time to spend with my 4yr old. I would much rather have a project run for 10 more years, than miss more than 5mins with my son.

PLease keep up the good work...it really is inspiring - more so, the Z that you busy with, I have not seen, or dreamt of....So good ahead and finish her up...at your own steam, but post away with as many pics as possible.

Thanks once again!!!

A TRUE Fan and follower.

PS - I check in on your thread every day, without fail.

Here is the latest plenum we've finished, machined and O-ringed to fit onto TWM ITB's. So, I guess you don't have any excuse now, do you??? ;-)
(the flange on the front of the plenum is at the request of the owner... he wants to use adapters for different IC piping options)

Currently the car is raised up 1.00" in the front and 1.50" in the rear. The drive from the shop is about 15 miles over awful Wisconsin roads, so it wasn't going to make it as it was. The driveway is also more like a curb, so the bumper must come off...

More to follow shortly.

I finally had a few spare hours to dedicate to the Z this past weekend. I was able to mount the front bumper, although I plan to add quite a bit more (splitter, canards, etc, etc...). The throttle linkages were also re-adjusted, and the car now runs like a completely new animal. I took it out for a good half hour, and wow.... It's hard to convey the feeling of driving it through words.
The car is currently raised up about 1.5" from it's ideal fighting stance, hence the monster truck like appearance. The roads around here are downright garbage for lowered cars, sadly...

I do need to do a bit more fender trimming in the rear (minor details ), but at this point, I can begin to start mocking up the fenders and other aero bits.

The good stuff is just beginning....
