Car is now officially for sale. $22,500.

My daughter just told I can't sell the car, therefore the car is not for sale at this time.

Ron: check your PMs

Throw some photos up if you can...Engine compartment especially....Sounds like a fun car to drive w 600 WHP....

If you do decide to sell im guessing $22,500 looks like a great deal...

I haven't seen the finished product yet. Not much to see in the engine compartment. The turbos are in the rear wheel wells, if I understand what Corey told me. Once I get the car in my possession I will post photos.

awesome. I'm interested in the mega squirt and turbo zr-1 projects as you all know. I'm wanting to do a different coil on plug implementation of the megasquirt 3 pro, and v band some stock manifolds to move turbos up front like LPE did, and design a new system.



Running e85 on the z and designing for it will open up some new opportunities and the megasquirt can do flex fuel


I also have a Haltech S2000 platinum that's a bit more sophisticated with 8 channel egt that could be used the same way. I believe in splicing into the wiring and turning off the stock engine management would retain the stock dash functions and hopefully be less onerous


with the price of the DIS module going crazy, I want to do this soon !!


a turbo z with a closed deck engine and mls hg would be a thing of joy


if your engine is at 9 to 1 compression, you have lots of room to boost it!!

Brett just sold one for 599. There are more of them available now than have been for several years, and at a lower price as well.

Corey said it would be at least two weeks from yesterday, so no it does look like it. Otherwise I would been happy to show you the car.

There's 4 cockpits networked together. Pretty nice system and a real fun job...

I still have two Z's. The 93' Ruby from Hawaii that I'm going to convert to a convertible as soon as Brett has time to get to it (busy guy...) And then I have the 91 Twin Turbo still. I finally put them on a "stacker" in the garage under cover. I pull them out once a month and run them to temp and drive them around the block... I also added a 1961 all original Vette to the stable as well. Drives like crap but I have a lot of fun with it. Drive her to work once a week if the weather permits... I plan to drive the Ruby more once it's converted.

Cheers from Fort Worth... Hope all is well with you...

HA! Small world, Ron. We just moved to Weatherford, 20 minutes away from Fort Worth. Glad to hear you're doing well.
