Quick photo of parts....drm brackets and stock shifter going to zf doc tomorrow for modifications (shifter only).

Modified oil catch can inlet line.

Things are moving along pretty well. I have the oil catch can installed and just about all the upgrades have arrived.

I need to pull the plenum and check the connecting harness to verify the ignition module is connected properly. Hopefully it is not and is a simple cure for the code 16. The prior owner pulled the plenum to replace the coils and I assume the distributor ignition system harness was not plugged up correctly.

Congrats Karl on a truly unique story/history to this car. Justin sent me all the info as I was looking at it also and almost decided to buy it. I think of it as fate. It was destined to come your way. That and my wife made it clear she doesn't like yellow on any car. Personally I think the yellow looks cool. Justin said it was a Viper Yellow Metallic not sure how that looks verses the Competition Yellow GM painted the cars. Cool car though.

Thank you for the kind words. The yellow looks like the yellow on the C4 Corvette. My favorite color is black but I like the yellow and it will do just fine.

Hopefully I will be able to beat or at least match Doug's best time in the car at the 1/4 mile soon.

Looks like the code 16 has been solved.

Fingers crossed!

This Z is cleaner than the black one I had. Hard to believe considering the miles.

Beast #2 secondaries are gone and 16 new fuel injectors have been installed along with the performance upgrades.

This car will spin the tires in second gear from a slow roll at 15+mph.

I have a few miscellaneous things to do.

So far so good.

Big thanks to Pete for working on the car.

I am mechanically inclined but have no where to work on the car and I don't like waiting!

1/4 mile times are next along with another update.

Drive your Z!

Karl,

Just did an update to the catch can w the screen and steel wool. As for the inlet port, I had some rubber tubing that squeezes into the backside of the inlet. VERY tight fit. Don’t believe it’ll go anywhere.
