And I did it right this time! I got a TT!

The exterior and interior need quite a bit of work, it'll need a paint job and the interior is all there, just in boxes in the hatch :chuckle:

The motor is in mostly great shape, rebuilt a couple years ago but it's been sitting because cylinder 5 has 0 compression and the PO lost interest in pursuing a fix. We've got it narrowed down to probably stuck lifter. My plans are to do an oil change and add some Marvel Mystery Oil to try and get it unstuck. If that doesn't work we'll open her up.

But anyways, just wanted to reintroduce myself. I'm so excited to have another z32 and get back on the forums!

EDIT: PICS : I'll take some more soon. Thats pretty much the best part of the car though lol

It looks like someone put a lot of time and money into that engine bay, looks really nice. like really really nice. That front bumper is not the best in my opinion but some more pics would be awesome. Also did you buy it with the engine work done or did you do it.

yea, the engine bay is pretty much what sold the car.. The PO had all the work done at a shop in TX, but when he found zero compression on #5 he washed his hands of it and I totally understand.. Thats what happened with my last z. I spent a ton of money keeping her running and was never able to do any mods because as soon as I'd have some money saved up for upgrades, something would break. I got tired of spending all the money just keeping her stock lol somebody ran me off the road one night and I washed my hands of her.. Huge regret, but it wasn't worth $3grand to fix her right back to stock, and I always wanted a TT anyways.


and I'm not a fan of this bumper either, I'm thinking about the twinzdesigns front and rear with the rear diffuser :yesnod

Like I said, interior and exterior are rough, but everything's there and I have a FSM so it shouldn't be too hard to put back together...
fingers crossed

Also wanting to replace those Enkeis with LMGT2s :mike

TwinZ, LMGT2's, sounds like you've got some very tasteful but expensive plans. I'm looking forward to seeing the progress. i'd love to get the TwinZ bumpers and diffuser

haha thanks. Yea I don't believe in half-assing anything, and these cars are classic and beautiful as they are.. There are just a few things I'd like to improve upon.

Do you have a build thread? I noticed the clear corners in your sig pic. They look so good! What else have you done to your z?
