Q:
So I have decided to keep the ZX of mine and transform it. The first big steps are going to be me gutting and carbing it (no FI vs Carb talk allowed in this thread). I will be loosing alot of the comforting luxuries of these modern cars, like A/C, stereo, and sound proof stuff. I plan on leaving a few plastics in the front on, but most of the interior will be painted. Though I am going to lay some carpet down in the back.
where my cd player was will now be a guage cluster
the gutted rear, it looks rough
a patch I had to do because it was rusted through where the spare tire was
I will post more pics in this thread before it is lost in the void of ZCAR.com while I am working over the next few days. I plan on doing a lot to the car. (like super charger, brakes, air damn, cams, new front carpet, maby seats, I need a new tranny....) But my budget is telling me that I may not.
A:
Lookin' good, keep us posted and good luck!

Carbed SC'd VG?.... Yeah, one of a kind, possibly a pain in tha !@#$%^ sort of thing. I have been wanting to try and do one ever sense I read about how to do "Blow throughs". Though I am going to try and get as much out of it while it is an N/A untill I SC it.
A:
all I say to those plans are...woah, and I mean that not in a good way.
A:
Why would you go through all of the trouble of converting a Z31 to carb?

A:
Dont worry, I will. I am still waiting for the needed parts to do it with.
I put in a strut tower bar tonight while I was working on it.
A:
Um that strut tower bar is looking strange and weak. Anyway I have a black dash and other black interior pieces if you'd like to go that way.

A:
I actually have stiffened that bar.
No thanks on the black. With no A/C now, I dont want the interior black.
